So Bradley ducks Khan and gets an Auto-Shot at Pacquiao.

[turbotime]

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

I forgot about the Casamayor fight, a fight that shouldn't have even happened in the first place. What was he doing the 11 or so months before.

Surely he could have made the Khan deal instead of keeping us in anticipation of fighting Casamayor?

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.

Baldomir was a journeyman that was a Judah creater. Anyways, my example wasn't to bring Floyd into the thread. Is more like this stuff happens.

You either defend fighting the best or you defend the business aspect of the sport. You can't nitpick when a fighter chooses business over legacy or vice versa.

You act like Baldomir is the first journeyman to ever win a belt. I don't hear anyone nitpicking Joe lOuis for beating Braddock for his unified title.

Anyways, what Bradley did was shytty and shouldn't be defended.

He fought Peterson in December 2009, Abregu in summer 2010, Alexander and Casamayor in 2011. So in a little more than two years now, he's fought 4 times.

Yes, he should have fought Khan, but it's working out for Bradley regardless. Not defending it, just saying.

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

Sure he might fight Khan later. So what? Does that mean he didn't duck Khan?

Bradley like many fighterss made a business decision. It looks like it worked out for him. IMO it was a duck regardless. Like back in 06' with Floyd and Margarito. Floyd made the right business decision at the end of the day to get Oscar.

And, after it was all said and done Floyd ended up winning in the decision. Only time will tell if Bradley ends up winning.

It can be because any reasonable man who has to make a living would do the same, its not like Khan will be gone after June and this can never happen so relax.

The whole "bum of the month" nonsense was brought for Louis. Even though that was greatly exaggerated since Joe beat plenty of ranked contenders.

Anyways, I'm not defending anything. Obviously you have your agenda. Which is fine, keep expressing it.

Baldomir was ranked, yes?
An agenda that Bradley didn't earn his shot? It's not like I'm lying, he didn't.

what happened with that is pretty slick. supposedly braddok was supposed to fight schmeling who had just beaten joe. but instead, joe convinced bradock to fight him so he could get his belt back. yea, no1s gonna criticize that. its joe louis.

You can't duck a bum. Khan is a bum. Bradley simply went after the more lucrative option, that's what this business is about.
