How is Bradley ducking Khan justifiable?

uhhhh they r both world champions. they r 2 of the best fighters on planet earth. .0000000001% of the population. u don't reach that level unless u r delusionally confident i.e. tim bradley n amir khan both wud favor themselves against a giant fire-breathing, flying dragon-like dinosaur, let alone another boxer in their weight class.

clearly, behind-the-scenes **** concerning promotions, management, etc. is the reason the fight fell thru, not cowardice on the part of one or the other.

ditto on floyd vs. pac.

DUH.

the only clear-cut case of "ducking" is sergio martinez ducking JR. but then again, who could blame him?

Team khan knows that timmah is trying to get the pac fight, otherwise theyd have never offered 50% of the uk ppv money...

That said i dont like how timmeh is talking like the boxing world owes him something.

If it was the other way round you would see endless threads attacking Khan lol. Double Standards at its best

Exactly, I been saying that all along. But some people are finally realizing Bradley is doing the ducking.. at least a few people shown me they can be objective.. there's only a few hangers-on now who remain deluded and offer excuse after excuse for Bradley, finding it too painful to admit to themselves that he ducked Khan..

It's not justifiable. And anyone who tries to do it is just blinded by nationalism.

thats exactly what it is. Because Khan is British, people believe our fighters are serial duckers when theyre not. Khan wanted the fight to the point he gave up some PPV money that Bradley isnt even entitled to. People in Bradleys hometown would probably struggle to pick him out of a line-up

Some of the biggest duckers n dodgers have been US fighters

Bradley is guaranteed a 1.2 mil payday for his next fight, why fight Khan now when he can fight someone else and then Khan for another big payday? Khan fought a bum in his last fight, i'm sure whoever Bradley picks will be better than McCloskey.

What part is considered ducking? Waiting until your promotional contract expires because you don't like what your promoter is doing or offering? If Bradley was scared or showing signs of being shook then I could get the whole ducking argument. I have a hard time saying someone that was brought up the way Bradley came through fighting everyone is shook by Khan. Khan, a fighter who while talented has the weakest chin in the division.

If the situation between Khan and Bradley was reversed, in that Khan was the one doing the ducking, everyone would be on him like a ton of bricks questioning his heart and balls.

Bradley has fought the same level of opposition and its only because he nicked the belt from Alexander in a bore-fest thast he thinks hes the divisions no. 1.

The fact that Khan WANTED the fight and was prepared the give up some of the UK PPV money (getting the Khans to hand out money is like getting blood from a stone) tells you how much he wanted it

Bradley has offered nothing but poor reasons for not taking the fight, and what very very few fans he already had, he's lost even more after this debacle.

If it was Khan doing the ducking, he'd get **** on by everybody, because its Bradley its somehow justifiable

I'm pretty sure he doesn't think he's #1, he's rated number 1 in the division. Khan vs Mcc whats his name was as boring as Bradley vs alexander.

How is Bradley ducking Khan justifiable?
