Tim Bradley DID NOT duck Khan.

[Bushbaby]

Bradley ducked Khan, no way around it, period. It worked out for him, but the duck was in regardless.

Lol ofcourse he ducked him, you forget what he himself said***8230; "What if I lose to Khan"

Would love to see Khan vs Bradley after the Pac fight assuming Pac KO's his Alien arse

Mate, you need to run those kinds of statements by our semantics expert, IMDAZED.

"What if I lose" actually means "What if I don't have a promoter and get robbed"

Bradley didn't need to actually say these things because he knew IMDAZED would relay the real meaning to all of us.

[IMDAZED]

Wonder why he didn't say any of that. I guess I should thank you for showing everyone the hidden meanings in Bradley's words.

He didn't say he was scared either or "legit lose" or whatever. We can all infer what we want. But what we do know is that he negotiated with Khan, had promotional issues, pulled out, declared his intentions (which was to face a far more dangerous fighter) and got what he wanted. No guesswork needed there.

He had no chance of an immediate Pacquiao fight and didn't fight Khan because he might lose. Not fighting someone because you "might" get a bigger fight in a years time is a lame excuse that any fighter could use.

Kinda like the excuse Khan used to not fight Alexander I suppose.

Right so you agree both were ducks, correct?

[mathed]

Bradley moves up in weight to fight Abregu and Pac, fights Ruslan, JMM, then Pac again but he was afraid of Khan? Please, gimme a break.

If that's what you want to call it then I guess so. One ducked his way into the p4p list and the other one ducked his way into obscurity.

It's irrelevant what I want to call it. I'm asking you.

You agree both ducked said fights?

I don't think Bradley "ducked" Khan, no. That implies you are afraid to face someone, Tim isn't afraid to face anyone. He wanted a better plan for his career and that entailed him switching promoters and sitting on the shelf for a period of time.

At that time, he wasn't well known at all while Khan was a guy being heavily hyped by HBO so there stood a chance that a decision could have gone Khan's way even if Bradley appeared to get the better of him. Just like many, including myself, thought Pac won the first fight with Bradley yet he didn't get the nod. Tim made a business decision and took a gamble....same can be said for Khan only his gamble didn't pay off.

Wonder why Bradley never mentioned this idea of being robbed against Khan.

He only said "What if I lose?" and "Can a brother have a break?"
