    Khan wasn't even that vocal about Bradley. He did say he wanted the winner of Bradley and Alexander, but he didn't call Bradley a ***** or anything like that. It's not Khans fault that Bradley had promotional trouble. If Bradley didn't have intentions of fighting Khan e shouldn't have called him out a million times. But he did.

    If you back out you quack out.
    If by not referring to it you mean willfully ignoring it, then yes....

    Bradley made a business decision, it was proven to be a good one based on how his career has gone. You're ignoring it because you want to sit around and hate on him.

    If you were Tim Bradley you would have made the same decision. I doubt you'll actually admit it though.

      Khan promoted himself using Bradley's name at a time when Tim was in between promoters. You would know this if you were actually following the sport at the time.
      Khan was kicking the dog when he was down and i dont blame him. To imply Khan was only promoting and didnt mean to fite bradley is the real ignorance cuz Khan may have glass chin but not a glass heart. Hes never ducked anyone. Bradley shouldve moved promoters after khan as gary shaw isnt bad (no scandals) maybe another excuse.

      Maidana was GGG of 140 at the time Khan beat'em and gave him his first real loss and you think Bradley fite woudlve been tougher since bradley aint even a puncher. Again ignorance from petty haters prevails.

        Golden Boy makes big media offers when they know fights can't be made, it's a strategy to promote their fighters. They floated 2 million dollars for a Bradley-Khan fight because they knew Bradley was not in a position to accept, and it made Khan look better because of it. They did the same thing earlier last year when they floated a 3 million offer for Donaire to fight Mares. They knew Donaire and Top Rank would not accept so they were happy to promote their fighter off a bogus offer.

        Peterson beat Khan two years after Bradley dominated him. Peterson beat Khan using an inside game, Bradley's inside game is fantastic and it has nothing to do with his punching power. He's a better mover than Maidana, with better defense, better punching technique and more speed. He would have been a tougher fight for Khan than Maidana, there's no question about it.

            Yeah he was very vocal

              So what you're saying is that I as a boxing fan, after listening to Bradley call out Khan for a year, should accept his duck because it made business sense?

              I fully understand that it made business sense. Couldn't care less though, If he was confident in beating Khan, he should have taken the 1,3 million, beat him and still fight pacquiao.

                I'm saying you should be an objective thinker and use your brain when analyzing situations, instead of picking the most one-dimensional way possible to look at something.

                  Haha, so why did he say he wanted to fight Khan on July 23rd?

                  Maybe you should start seeing things for what they were, and stop taking your favourite fighter's side because he's your man.

                    Why would Khan need to use Bradley's bum ass name to "promote himself" when he was already a bigger name than Bradley?

                    Wait so Khan makes a legitimate 50/50 offer and it's labelled as "using the media" to promote himself?

                    So what exactly was Bradley telling Khan to stop running on HBO?

                    God Bradley fans are the most delusional in boxing.

                      Peterson was also on roids so next time some fiter loses to a roided fiter i assume you will not state your discontent next time a fiter loses to a roid cheat. The judging and reffing not to mention in that fite were.....

                      It was a fite the division cried out for. G.B is the best promoter out of all they pit the best vs best just compare pac-may undercards. They put their fiters in danger zone quick example ortiz-maidana, khan-garcia so they werent bluffing with offers.
                      I must add Khan has 1 million fans on fb and twitter as an indication for his following regardless on how many are actual boxing fans he does have a base. He doesnt need bradley to promote himself.

                      Bradley was the one who was talking alotta smack too.
