    You are an emotional guy,and ya don't like to deal in logic or what the facts provided for ya..But that's ya right bro..Ya still a top poster in my book...

      I'm in the middle. I do feel it was a duck to a certain extent, but I'm not gonna forever criticize him for it. Would I like to see Khan vs. Bradley still? Sure, but both guys are no longer in the position to make it happen. When Bradley gets out of TR, we can revisit this match-up.

        So you like facts eyy?? There ya go. Like I said, I am a fan of Bradley & he did get a good deal after sitting out a year & ducking Khan. But a duck is a duck. All you're doing is making excuses to defend the duck. Timeline bro, read it & weep.

            By William Mackay: According to Dan Rafael, WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KO’s) has formally rejected WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan’s latest offer for a fight on July 23rd.



            Bradley had already rejected one offer made to him for a fight with Khan, which was said to be in the neighborhood of $1.3 million. Khan and his promotional company Golden Boy Promotions then reportedly came back with a bigger offer yesterday of $1.4 million plus a 50-50 deal on the UK pay-per-view money that Khan would be bringing in.

            However, it looks like Bradley’s not interested in that deal either, according to Rafael. That leaves Khan to have to pick between Erik Morales, who has already said no to a fight with Khan, Zab Judah, Marcos Maidana and Robert Guerrero.

            HBO is said to be willing to show Khan against anyone of those fighters. And according to *********.com, Maidana really wants to step in and take the fight with Khan and try to avenge his narrow 12 round decision loss to Khan from last December. It’s a win-win fight for Khan, Maidana and for boxing fans, because the Khan-Maidana fight in December was awarded the fight of the year for 2010.

            However, the major problem with putting together a rematch between Khan and Maidana is that Khan doesn’t appear to be eager to fight Maidana again, even though it’s a fight that boxing fans want to see and would likely easily draw much bigger numbers than Khan against Bradley.

            It would probably bring in bigger numbers than Khan against Morales, Judah or Guerrero simply because of how exciting the first fight was between Khan and Maidana. So, will Khan take the fight with Maidana? Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

              And i love how you capslocked ''BIG PAYDAY''. Wether he gets one or two more BIG PAYDAYS one things for sure, Khan has already made more money in his career than Bradley will ever make, so im sure Bradleys BIG PAYDAY wont be causing Khan any loss of sleep.

              Say Bradley get's his ass whooped by Pacquiao for the second time in the rematch and Khan wins a couple of fights, Boxings infamously fickle set of fans will soon be clamouring again for the Bradley - Khan fight, so i'd think twice before you prophetically claim who is getting the last laugh.



              Losing to Pacquiao is a lot more respectable then losing to Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson (nothing against them but)...oh yeah I am sure you will reply with "WELL PETERSON WAS ON PEDS" Ok he probably was on PEDS against Bradley also and Timothy STILL DOMINATED HIM!

              You can make all the excuses you WANT but Bradley no questions is having the last laugh at the moment, his career is not falling apart and he is not out searching for a new Trainer trying to regroup and get his career back on track...Khan can get what ever trainer he wants but no trainer can help that weak CHIN, even with better Defense your still going to get hit eventually during a match

              Sure anything can happen over the next few years or so, but I still see Bradley finish with a better Career overall then Khan because Bradley is TOUGHER and is just the better overall fighter

                  If Khan wins a few more fights,weather Bradley takes a loss or not I expect to hear people wanting these two to fight..They are rivals and many still want to see this fight...
                  Errmm actually there is a way of denying that.

                  How anyone can claim Bradley has gotten the last laugh i do not know.

                  Bradley has a decision not a win over one of the best fighters in the sport. Yes it's a 'W' on his Boxrec but it's a 'L' in the minds of Boxing fans, apart from a few Bradley fanboys like your good self.

                  Anyhoo, a 'L' against someone like Pacquiao is much better than a 'L' against Peterson or a Garcia anyway so im not even trying to compare the two.

                  I said before Khan lost to Garcia and before Bradley supposedly beat Pacquiao that i did not consider what Bradley did to be ducking Khan. He made a smart financial decision which paid out in the end, not only once but twice only god knows how(if he gets a Pacman rematch).

                  However it would be utterly foolish of anyone to claim either party has gotten the last laugh when you look at where both fighters are in their careers. Both have a long way to go yet in the sport and like you said could very well still meet each other in the near future.

                  And just to make clear, i absolutely still want to see this fight. When i was talking about the fickle fools in my earlier post it was aimed at those who dont want to see the fight on account of using triangle theories to claim that Bradley - Khan would be an easy win for Bradley.

                    No one said he was not offered a better deal by top rank. But he did duck Khan, period.
