How do you feel about avoiding tests?

Make a thread about it, and I'll comment on it.

Don't hijack threads

There was no guarantee he was getting it when he ducked Khan.

He'd get offers from all over and almost certainly more lucrative ones had he beat Khan. Mayweather and Pacquaio especially are running out of opponents.

It all boils down to whether he was confident about beating Khan.

He wasn't. Hence Duck.

The only current fights more lucrative then Khan are Floyd, Manny, or JMM. You have no way of knowing what lies ahead in the future. Niether does Tim. SO he made the smart move that guranteed him $6 mil.

Confidence about winning is one thing. Further damaging his already weak brand is another. He beat Devon but made his value worse. He may have beaten Khan (i was picking khan by ko) but it may have been so ugly that it hurt him.

He said it himself in his TR press conference. He rejected the Golden Boy offer because they wanted him to fight Khan first. Try another excuse. Im sure you've got a list of them.

Let's try your childish logic here. Now he's fighting Manny Pacquiao, a far less dangerous fighter than Amir Khan. Gee, why didn't he duck that? Or is he only scared of Khan?

Bradley's world doesn't revolve around Khan. What is wrong with you? Your line of thinking comes from such an obtuse angle. If you think taking the TR deal was a shorter term option than Khan then you're just not smart. In fact, the facts today prove your wrong.

The FACT is Bradley in his own words said he didn't want the Khan fight because he might lose.

What more do you want?

Khan losing to Bradley could have scuppered a multi-million dollar fight with Mayweather.

Did Khan say what if I lose, give me a easy fight?

No he wanted to fight the best.

The British and their fighters seem to have more honour and pride than their American counter parts.

Its common sense. Khan is being built huge by HBO. Beating him in a big unification fight on HBO which makes you the undisputed champ at 140 would have guaranteed huge offers.

Right now he's Top Ranks b1tch basically, thats what he signed to be. He went into that negotiation from a much weaker position than had he beaten Khan.

Khan makes easy work out of buckethead.

If Bradley was confident of beating Khan he would have fought him.

He wasn't.

Bradley seen taking a beating for 8 million is betting than than taking a beating for 2 m.

That the choice Bradley made.

Dude Tim still has no fan base. SO what increases his fan base more beating Khan and unifying the 140 lb titles or beating/losing to manny on ppv?

Again, you can't guarantee a bigger offer. SHane Mosley beat ODH TWICE and he didn't get bigger offers. SO there is no guarantee.

We agree he's a top rank slut right now. But he's getting $6 mil for that. Sow me where his other $6 mil guarantee is?

So Khan was willing to take a dangerous fight against Bradley for no growth in fan base and no extra bargaining power in future fights, he just wanted to beat Bradley and unify the division.

Difference between a true warrior and a guy who has no pride or honour and just chases the dollar.

Which group would you classify yourself in?
