People forget Bradley is the king at 140 NOT Khan

[deadbeat hero]

It's a pretty pointless debate. Whatever the reason for the fight not happening, until they actually do fight then neither can be considered king, and no amount of nuthugging is going to change that. I don't see a ring belt in either man's collection. Although, it is a shame this fight isn't happening at 140, as Manny is technically still the lineal champ after beating Hatton. A Bradley victory over Manny at 140 wouldn't get him the ring belt, but it would secure his place as the 'man that beat the man', and therefore unquestionably the top dog in the division. Unfortunately that **** isn't happening, so until the day comes that Khan and Bradley get it on, there ain't no 'king' at 140.

You can't duck a guy saying the reason is "what if I lose" and be ranked above him in my eyes.

Must be an American thing.

Hindsight is a marvellous thing. Bradley had no guarantee he would get the Pacquiao fight and wasn't even first choice. Stop trying to use Pacquiao as a reason he ducked Khan at the time it was a plain old duck.

It wasn't about one fight, it was about more money.

If it was about money wouldn't he have chose a guaranteed biggest payday against Khan instead of fighting weaker opponents to stay undefeated? He could have fought Khan won and then had an even greater chance of getting a Pacquiao fight. He admitted he was afraid of losing.

Because it paid less than the contract he got with Top Rank.

...which Bradley felt he wouldn't be able to obtain if he fought Khan due to the risk of losing. Hence a duck.

I think most people don't count that as a loss anymore after Peterson admitted to cheating in the fight. The fight will probably get changed to a NC and Khan most likely gets the belts back.

In all fairness, that's what should happen, let's be honest. It happened in Ruiz vs Toney after Toney got caught, it happened in Viloria vs Nino after Nino got caught, the fights got changed to a NC after those guys were tested positive.

Would you argue against Khan vs Peterson being an NC because I don't think many would now?

If Peterson cheated against Khan,who's to say he did not cheat against Bradley??Bottom line is Khan did not handle Peterson in the same fashion as Bradley..I would not argue for a cheat,so if the fight was change to a NC you will hear nothing from me on the matter..But I would still have what each looked like against a common opponent,and Bradley looked far better...Not to mention it won't change the fact that Bradley still has the better resume..Nothing Khan can do to change that..

Two things are untrue in this post..

1.Weaker opponents??Opponents meaning more then one,can you name these so called weak opponents??Bradley fought Casa who let's be honest,is the equivalent of Mccloskey..Now he is fighting Pacmonster,umm so that is false..He did not fight weaker opponents,to avoid Khan..He fought who TR(his new promotion team)put in front of him..He had no idea who he'd be fighting when he signed with TR..But that was a better deal then what Khan offered so there you go..

2.Bradley never said he was not fighting Khan because what if he lost..When he did say what if I lose,it was directed at a question about Shaw not about Khan..Comprehension is key when listening to an interview..
