What a difference a year makes..Bradley-Khan

[Earl-Hickey]

Not a duck if there is a better opportunity elsewhere..A duck is he did not fight Khan and yet has not fought anybody else..Bradley got way more money for fighting Casa and Pac then he would have got to fight Khan..What opportunity did he miss out on??

what a twerp.

Bradley could have made the Khan fight happen, won the Lineal title and unified 140lbs, and THEN fought Pac, but instead he fought Casa

It IS a duck if you are calling someone out, then they accept your challange, you go awol, they follow you halfway around the world to tell you to your FACE to grow some balls and get the fight on, and you STILL don't fight.

I don't like Khan, and I think Bradley would have beaten him, although considering how small bradley is and doesn't have much power it's by no means guarenteed.

but it's a fact that Bradley ducked him

a FACT

[Bushbaby]

When did Bradley call Khan out??All Bradley said was what his promoter said to him..Then he said what his manager said to him when he turned the fight with Khan down...I think People don't even know what a duck is..A duck is not chosen a better deal which TR clearly was...

I am factually a Bradley fan, never really liked Khan but respect his willingness to fight dangerous guys in their backyard even. But a duck is a duck & Bradley ducked Khan.

He did call him out.

He did sit on the self for a year before he fought Casa & finally got Pacman.

Doesn't change the fact that the Khan fight was on the table as a career high payday & he chose not to take it & sit out for a year.

Why did he duck?? A ****** reason considering he would have won & be 1 million richer any how.

Ironically people are hating on Khan less these days because that loss finally humbled him, while Bradley is one of the most hated men in boxing.

I was thinking this. Also, career wise their prospects are looking very different right now, it's not as cut and dry as it looks. The only reason Bradley is in this position is due to the complete incompetence (or, more likely, corruption) of a handful of men. Going back to the first post only part of it is about the decisions we make and part of it is about the decisions those more powerful than us make for us.

Bradley missed out on being the undisputed junior welterweight champion. That's a big deal. Beating Khan, which he would have, would have given him even more of a chance to make money. Maybe he couldn't have fought Pac this year, but maybe he gets Floyd instead. Maybe he gets Pac anyway. Either way, beating Khan would have been big last year.

I'm surprised at Rome in this tread. All he's doing is making up an excuse for the duck. Just because he got the Pacman fight doesn't mean that he didn't duck Khan.

Bradley sat out cause of legal issues..He wanted to get away from Shaw, this is well documented...But the biggest thing is TR had the better deal..Not a duck to take a better deal...But we have a different view on this, no biggie..

You forget the Khan fight came with Shaw connected to it..I just see how Bradley choice was not a duck..It was the better business decision...

[LeG00N]

yes,

Khan loses a controversial decision to a cheater, then gets KTFO by a C+ level fighter

while

Bradley gets dominated and wins one of the worst robberies in recent years

So, are you saying that beating Khan & becoming undisputed at 140 & receiving his biggest payday to that date would have lessened his chances of leaving Shaw & getting to fight Pacman?? He sat out instead of taking the fight Shaw got him that he asked for. He could have taken the fight,(which he would have won), his contract would have expired right after, then he could have allowed himself to be courted by top rank & still get the Manny fight anyway right??

He ducked & gambled & it payed off. Doesn't change the fact that he ducked. So ducking is only ok when you get to fight 1 of the sports greatest draws then?? Well then, I guess by those standards we who complain about ginger ducking his entire division are dead wron cause it's good business so the duck doesn't count right??
