Comments Thread For: Tim Bradley: If Khan Stops Peterson, He's The Real Deal!

[Russian Crushin]

No I'm not saying he deliberately ducked him so to protect a loss. I'm under the impression that Bradley was attached to Shaw Promotions and didn't want to fight under that banner anymore, for whatever business reasons which are his own. So he was waiting for the contract to expire, in order to sign with Top Rank.

I think Bradley has proved he is not a coward. Going over to UK to fight Witter. Beating Alexander to unify, when a lot of people had Devon in that fight. A guy like that is not going to be afraid of a man. He will believe that he can beat Khan. But unfortunately there are other factors involved in a fight.

Ehh in my opinion the fight should have been made. Right after the Devon win, Bradley called out Khan and then when Khan agrees and offers him 50/50, he now decides to wait out his contract and go to Top Rank who has a feud with GBP and fights Casamayor.

If he really wanted the fight, it would have happened. But now its further from happening then before

It'll happen soon enough, provided they keep winning. Should be a good one.

I dont see how. Bradley is in Top Rank now and and Khan will soon go to 147.

This fight took a BIG step back from happening, anytime soon at least

Anyone who thinks Bradley is ducking Khan is crazy. He made a business decision that appears reckless in short-sight, but maybe it will prove best for the long term.

Either way, it's not fear that has stopped the fight. It will happen soon enough.

Call me crazy then. While I don't think Bradley is scared of Khan at all I still think he ducked the fight. For whatever reason it may be, it's still a duck. He could of gotten paid.

Bad move by bradley becaue if khan does stop peterson it will make bradley look more like a punk.

Khan has no chin, and when he gets hit, he fights back in desperation. That's a bad recipe against a good, accurate counterpuncher and Pet is great at that. Pet by ko in the 7th.

I like Bradley, but lets be real now. He clearly ducked Khan. He said so himself......."If I lose to Khan, I'm out of the Mayweather/Pacquiao sweepstakes!"

[Russian Crushin]

Khan is a HUGE 14-1 favorite and -139 to win by KO. So overall the odds make it seem likely

But i dont see him KO'ing Peterson

"What if I lose to Amir Khan?"

[starjammer]

Never seen those quotes, to be honest. But then again, they are just words to justify some of the (bad) business decisions he made.

**** *t, I'm fighting his corner. Bradley and Khan, two great fighters and two great guys.

I know the fight will be difficult to get off the ground, but I believe it will happen. Bradley will be up for it, when he sees Pac or May ain't available and some of the fans questioning his heart will see what he's made of.

Yeah, a duck's a duck. But I think it's important to highlight the difference between one out of fear and one out of a (bad) business move. I probably should have clarified that in my opening statement. It's an important difference for me.
