Bradley Made the Right Decision

[_original_]

Everything all worked out perfectly for Bradley to be honest.

Signing with Top Rank was a great move no matter what anybody says. He didn't take on the Khan fight but now with Peterson beating Khan it took some of the heat he was catching since he schooled Peterson. Bradley biggest knock is that he isn't a draw but now he's in line for a huge PPV event that will get his name out there. So what if a few boxing nerds were calling him a coward for a while? He's about to fight Manny freakin' Pacquiao, and Khan can't even beat a Bradley "leftover" (I hate that term but y'all know what I mean). Not to mention Arum gave him a cool million for beating up a washed up Casa. Bradley is Boss!

Bradley was considered pu$$y for ducking Khan, a fight in which if he had won he would have become undisputed champ at 140. He will now gain the fianancial benefits of that duck by fighting Pacman but in the ring he will take a battering.

Bradley has pretty much schooled every fighter he's faced, even Holt who dropped him twice got outworked every other round. No that any of those fighters were Pacquiao, but I think people are underrating Bradley and overrating Pacquiao for this one.

Just because Bradley is fighting a better fighter now doesn't mean he didn't duck Khan.

Bradley outright turned down a fight with Khan.

i wouldn't completely count Bradley out...




so you're saying he should have had a stay busy fight with Khan right before PAC...gotcha

Another fact people like to "conveniently" forget too is - Bradley hadn't fought in nearly a year... and he was supposed to come back and fight Khan straight away???

It's okay when Khan fights McCloskey as a supposive "stay busy fight", but Bradley who had been inactive for almost a year (with promotional issues) was supposed to come back and fight Khan immediately - even while changing Promotional companies and being put in the Pacquiao sweepstakes. The double standards are incredibly staggering when it comes to the Bradley/Khan debate.

Again, just showing lack of knowledge of actual events.

He had a contract with Shaw...if he fought Khan he would have had to reup with Shaw. If he does that then he's stuck with Shaw and you can bet your ass there's no Pacquiao fight happening now.

That or he's knee deep in litigation and inactive for a year.

He had already extended his contract once to Shaw to fight Alexander. Then Shaw also decided to take his grievences to the media, talking **** about the very guy he wanted to sign for a lucrative fight FOR HIM (this was while they were still going back and forth about offering Bradley shares of the U.K. PPV, so nothing was decided at this time). Why the hell would Bradley sell his soul to Shaw, who is in the media talking **** about his own farking fighter, and even consider fighting under Shaw Promotions at that point?!?

Khan didn't fight McCloskey to duck Bradley.

Bradley ducked Khan to fight Casa.

Spare the sob story about how he'd been out of the ring. He CHOSE TO.

And if he was so confident about beating Khan, why does it matter?

All that aside.

It all boils down to the fact that Bradley was running his mouth, calling out Khan. To which Khan said let's do it and Bradley said no.

All the other parts of the story don't even matter at this point.

If that's not an obvious duck I don't know what is.

Had Bradley beat Khan it would've made his fight with Pac all that much sweeter...promo would build up nicely considering Freddie would want his revenge on Timothy
