    He ducked Khan. He didn't wanna risk a loss and miss out on a Pacquiao fight. I don't see how anyone can deny that?

        His words clearly infer a lack of confidence in his ability to beat Amir Khan.

        "WHAT IF I LOSE TO AMIR KHAN?" (No mention of judges/robberies)

        "I just fought top notch oppostion, can a brother get a break?"

        "I can fight anyone in the top 10 on HBO for $1million"

        Now show me where you get your excuse.....sorry I mean "opinion" from.

          because bradley doesn't do well against fast fighters with power, holt and pac proved as much and khan wasn't as passive back then as those two when they fought bradley...I don't think bradley committed enough to his punches back then to really have been able to stop khan

            Because they refuse to admit that Bradley saw Amir Khan as a very genuine threat in the ring. It would get in the way of their agenda so they have to literally pull excuses out of the sky.

              Hmm still don't see I'm not confident in my abilities.

                So when Khan turns down an Alexander fight because he's been told a Mayweather fight is in the bag, he gets mocked, abused, laughed at etc, but when Bradley turns down a Khan fight for Pacquiao, it's perfectly fine? Love that logic.

                  Bradley-Pacquiao was the ultimate endgame and that is an absolute fact. That's why Bradley's first fight with Top Rank was on Pacquiao's undercard.

                  It's the reason Tim signed with them in the first place.

                    How is that a fact? That's a fact because he was on Pacquaio's undercard? How do we know he wasn't on the undercard to simply build his name up?

                    Obviously he was an option for Pacquaio when he signed for them.

                    But again the point is, he wasn't the first option. He didn't sign with TR with a guranteed Pacquaio fight and especially not within 2 fights.

                    He could easily have fought Khan in July like originally planned, then jump to TR but he didn't want to risk it with Khan.

                      lol.. you seriously not trolling?

                      at the time they were the top two fighters at 140, both were champions, the fight was offered but bradley ducked khan.

                      bradley wasnt even in the same division as pacquiao at that time..

                      why dont you just admit that bradley ducked khan because he already admitted it himself.. if someone admits that they're ducking someone no amount of damage control is going to change that
