    Tim is smart, he knows that boxing is a business first and a sport second.
    Looks like Bradley got some public relations lessons. The reply he gave to this question today was much better than "what if I lose" which he said a while back. He ducked Khan bottome line - it was a unification fight, for all 3 belts. He saved his goose egg and got rewarded, which is terrible for boxing.

      I'm sure that wasn't the reason because you make it look like he was scared to lose. Dude just went for the better deal period. Don't put words in his mouth.

        People use the term "duck" to loosely. I can understand if Tim would have not wanted to fight Khan because he wanted to fight a guy like Guerrero or someone like that (you get where I'm coming from) but he turned down the fight with Khan to get it on with Manny Pacquiao who people regard as one of the best in the sport AND he got out of his contract with Shaw (which he wanted to do). I don't consider that a duck but rather better business decisions for the future of his career. Khan shouldn't get that much props because he ain't that good and clearly Bradley is the better fighter (at least in my opinion).

          Funny thing about this post is this shows you did not even listen to the interview your speaking on..When Bradley said what if I lose,it was in a response to a question about Shaw,not Khan...Which further proves he just wanted to get away from Shaw,he's wanted that for sometime...
