      Man isnt chicken at all...Like he ducked someone that was on PACs level. He took the fight with PAC. Win or lose he gets respect for getting in the ring.

        I am no Bradley fan, but that "chicken" move was the smartest move of his career. He positioned himself as best he could and worked out perfectly for the biggest payday of his career. I don't personally think he is chicken, this was about $, not about being scared. It was a lose lose for him to be honest. If he had fought Khan and lost, there would be no Pac fight and no giant payday. If he had fought Khan and won, there would be no Pac fight, because Arum would never let him in the ring with Pac if he had beaten Khan. Arum was backed into a corner and had pretty much no choice but to pick Bradley this time. If not, he would have avoided him still. But now that Lamont/Khan have agreed to a rematch in May, don't be shocked if last minute Arum pulls the rug and we see Pac/JMM IV in June. Lamont, Cotto and JMM were the only people they were even thinking about anyways in reality. Regardless of what they say, Floyd was NEVER an option for them. Bradley "pussed" out, and got the dream fight he wanted. I can't hate on him for that. This whole deal may bite them in the ass because I think I am the only person I know that actually thinks Bradley may have a real shot at winning.

            Judging by the size of his wife, I can understand why he needs to feed his "family" so fast

                    I never looked at him as being a chicken. Not fighting Khan does not make you a chicken. What has Khan achieved in his career to be considered a chicken for not fighting him? Bradley saw a bigger opportunity. Now it has payed off. Plus, Khan lost to a man that Tim beat fairly easy. Now he's fighting the best P4P guy in the world and has a huge chance in pulling off the upset. Hell, if that's a chicken, then everyone that competes in the sport should follow the same path as that chicken. lol!!!
