Tim Bradley DID NOT duck Khan.

[Box-Office]

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.

Basically this ^^^

This thread was a poor attempt to defend Bradley's duck of Khan.

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.

I am not claiming he was the first option. But he signed with TR specifically to get a Pac fight.

If he declined Khan in order to chase Pacquiao then it's not a duck. Pac is a harder fight and gets him more money.

So why not fight Khan then chase Pacquaio?

We know why, "Because I might lose".

But that's a ridiculous blank check to give fighters. If it took 2 years for Bradley to land a Pacquiao fight, would it still be okay that he turned down Khan? It's really plain good fortune that he got the fight when he did, and that doesn't make a duck no longer a duck.

He probably didn't like the options.

A. Fight Khan without a promoter

B. Sign with Golden Boy

It wasn't a choice between the two he could have fought Khan and then Pacquiao. Khan was a guaranteed biggest payday and the biggest fight available to him at the time. Pacquiao was a possible future fight that he had no guarantee of getting.

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

The part where he questions if he'd lose to Amir Khan might be the hint you're looking for.

Or a hint of what I said. Opinions.

"To chase Pacquaio"

Everyone is chasing Pacquaio dummy. Just like everyone is chasing Mayweather. So does that justify them taking bum fights just because they are "chasing" a bigger fight?

No because he didn't say "What if I get robbed in the Amir Khan fight?", did he?

Keep reaching.
