How is Bradley ducking Khan justifiable?

[Uturn]

Makes me cringe when I see yanks trying to justify why Bradley hasn't took up the opportunity presented to him by Team Khan.

I've backed Bradley to beat Khan, but for some reason he's running from a showdown.

So?

Khan is guranteed to make that much VS someone himself.

It was Bradley who called Khan out as well. The 'Tournament', him saying he going to the UK when Khan fights Paul.

At the end of the day, Bradley should have said to Khan fight me now or no fight.

Bradley is ducking Khan, end of.

I did not Paul was part of the tourny they had going,who knew..

Bradley said he wants the fight to marinade... What does that mean? He's not getting anymore popular, and Khan is rocketing to superstar status.

Who is Bradley going to fight? Khan makes all the sense in the world AT THIS POINT IN BOTH OF THEIR CAREERS. The simple fact is that Bradley is not ready for Khan but he does not want to admit it.

It's not a fight he can win. I don't see who Bradley can fight that is going to help his reputation. He's boring, he head butts, he has no charisma... That is why his fan base is so limited.

Khan on the other hand is entertaining, he can work a mic, he has a fan friendly charisma. His fights are not disappointing, and he is always willing to step up. Maidana is better than Bradley, and that was an incredible fight. You won't see Bradley fight any top guys.

Alexander was a phony, but IMO he is on the same level of Bradley. Khan is a step up in class.

Bradley knows fighting Khan is career suicide... Unless by marinade he means wait until Khan wipes out the division and is the golden boy of boxing and Bradley taking 30% will still be 15 million, then he can just cash out of the game... Then yeah, I believe him.

Berto, Bradley, Alexander = All phonies from the same cloth with the same excuses and the same very limited skillset.

Khan, while young, is in the class of the elite fighters of today.... He might be a freshman, but he's in class.

[P.K]

Yes and Khan already planned to fight in April in the UK.

Bradley saying stop running Khan: July 23rd Khan. So why change his mind huh? He knew about the date.

Without question there are some Americans, probably specifically black, who will back this and to me it's not justifiable. It is nationalistic and it's a joke. It shouldn't matter where a fighter comes from, be objective. He is ducking.

Bradley has no excuse to not take this fight, it makes more sense than anything else. He does not deserve a Pac or Mayweather fight, and nobody wants to see those fights because they won't be competitive. Pacquiao would wipe the floor with him, and Mayweather would steal his heart.

Bradley is lucky to even be talked about as the next opponent of a rising star like Khan with a massive fan base that he has. Bradley has nothing compared to Khan as far as fanbase.

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

he's not ducking Amir Khan he's just playing the game, that's how it is, you play the cards you're dealt and Timothy has a very good hand right now, he's just trying to play out that hand for the best possible outcome for himself which there is nothing wrong with that

[-Lowkey-]

People bringing up the McCloskey fight to justify Bradleys ducking of Khan are blatantly grasping at straws. Khan wanted a stay busy fight for his UK fans whilst he waited for the Bradley fight in june it really is that simple.

Khan wants the fight (badly) Bradley wants to secure his financial future before his inevitable loss.

[bojangles1987]

If he leaves Shaw and immediately either makes the fight with Khan or has a 2012 showdown with Pacquiao set up, then I'm okay with it. If not, then screw Bradley.

"Bradley ducking Khan"

That's some funny ****.

Bradley's trying to make his money, he was right about the marinating the Alexander fight.

This is pretty easy to understand tbh..Follow along..

1.Bradley has a guarantee of 1.2 mill that will end his contract with Shaw and HBO..After if HBO wants a Khan fight they will have to re-nego and Bradley can get a better deal,being the Fact as long as Khan and Bradley win their respective fights the fight will still be in demand..Bradley could get a two or maybe even three fight deal out of this which would equal more money then he is being offered right now..

2.If Bradley was promoted by a Major Promotion company he would be more known,Shaw has Dirrell and Chinny and neither are known outside of hardcore boxing fans..And both those fighters are good fighters,Dirrell is super talented and Chinny and exciting brawler..But neither are known at all..Fact is getting away from Shaw is a must if Bradley is really trying to take his career to the next level which of course he is..

3.HBO will do business with Bradley again bro,ya know why??It's business not personal..HBO is not gonna want one of three of the biggest fights that could be made in boxing going anywhere else or not happening at all..I'm sure they will be more careful what they put in the contracts tho..Like let's say they do promise Bradley 2 fights they might put in a lower number with options to nego depending on the opponent(or somrthing like that)..

I wanna see this fight just like anybody else,but this is business..Like any other sport it's all about business..
