    Im sure Tim Bradley could have penciled in fighting khan in the 10 months he wasn't doing anything.

      Yes, what would you do take a huge risk with Khan when you can simply fight him later after you got your big payday?

          Bradley ducked Khan to get a shot at Pac no doubt about that.

          Floyd ducked Margarito to get a shot at Oscar.

          They both went to the path of least resistance to get a big money fight.

            Ducking Khan to get a Pacquiao fight isn't great, but I can definitely see why he did it. He earned a fight like this way before ducking Khan.

              Can we please keep Floyd out of at least one thread? At least Floyd beat Baldomir who was the champ in the division, and Bradley takes on ..dun dun dun....100 year old Casamayor.

                He's had 4 fight in pretty much 2 years

                Well unless you're counting 2012 as an entire year, even tho we're only a month in well then in that case he still had 2 fights in that span, the same amount as Pac

                    He fought twice last year. To quote DirkDiggler lately, why make stuff up?

                      I dont agree with that. Its also about "when" the fight is bigger. Its like everyone was forcing Bradley to face Alexander but Bradley said they should wait because they were rated as the 2 best in the division but its for lil money. If they wait a few more fights then its big money.

                      I think Bradley figured that Khan was a risk somewhat but even moreso that he could fight Khan after Pac and then the Khan fight is worth way more money than before a Pac fight. After Pac he will be more of a household name. If he beats Pac then I could see him fighting Khan.

                      He's not scared and it would be for way more money. If he loses to Pac then there is still a solid chance he could get Khan or whoever and its still for more money than before. It just makes more sense to do it like this all the way around
