Tim Bradley DID NOT duck Khan.

[Rome-By-Ko]

Probably because he had his career derailed by shady officiating, judging and a fighter on performance enhancing drugs.

You're pretty naive if you think Khan wasn't in line to face Mayweather. Golden Boy want that fight now but you don't think they wanted it in 2011 when Khan was at the height of his career?

Khan was willing to put that on the line against Bradley. Shame it didn't work the other way.

Guess maybe you did not read the whole post..Khan had 4mill and a three fight deal signed..Of course he was ready to put it all on the line(lol)..He had a safety net..I'd be down to jump out of a window to,so long as I had my parachute..

What did Bradley have??Oh that's right nothing,but a better offer..That out match that of the offer from Khans team/Shaw..This stuff is simple,when your not looking at things from one person perspective..

Bradley fans are giving their "opinions" and "educated guesses" and just plain old BS when the only thing we all know for a fact is BRADLEY BEING AFRAID OF LOSING was reason given for not taking the fight.

Just wanted to add some facts..

Bradley called out Pac in 2009 when Pac was the Champion at 140lb..



Now this happen while this had also happened within the same yr..



We move on,Bradley had beat Abregu and Alexander had beat Kotelnik..Khan had beat Paulie M..After the fight(since we like to bring up the what if I lose comment)Khan clearly say's..I'll fight Maidana Bradley and Alexander can fight,then the winners will fight each other..He then turns around and fights Mccloskey..Where he came in from??Oh that's right,that fight came with a 3 fight deal..Meanwhile they expected Bradley to take a Khan fight with no insurances while Khan just got a 3 fight deal..

It's clear that TR offered Bradley more then one fight..While Shaw and GBP did not..It's clear he was on the top of the list(being Cotto said he would not fight Pac again,and Pac did not wanna fight Marquez again)to fight Pac..It's clear Bob had showed interest in Bradley before signing him and said as much..

It's clearly not a duck,and why no mention of Khan fighting Mccloskey instead of doing what he said he'd do??Oh and the suppose Mayweather fight,if Khan could have fought Mayweather what happened??Why did that fight not go down yet??Oh that's right the set backs..Losing to Peterson(who Bradley dominated btw)and getting his lights turned out by Garcia..Two fighters everyone and their mothers said was not even in Khans class(some of those same posters I see in this thread funny)..Bradley made a very good busniess decision for himself..Deal with it..Also deal with the fact,Khan fighting Mccloskey open the door for Bradley to not have to fight him..If he'd just went right to the fight with Bradley,and then Bradley ducked him fine..I would agree..To expect Bradley to sign a extension and go into the unknown not knowing,while Khan had a three fight deal(worth close to 4 mill)is not fair and very short sighted..Just thought I'd add my 2 cents..

Can you point out the untrue part of this post??

It's all opinion let's deal with FACTS.

Bradley was afraid of losing = Fact
Bradley was offered his biggest payday = Fact
It was the biggest fight available for him = Fact

Bradley had the safety net from HBO after the Alexander fight of taking on anyone for $1m. He mentioned it in his interview. He said why fight Khan when I can fight anyone in the top 10 for a million dollars. We know he wasn't fighting Khan under any circumstances.

When Bradley's contract with Shaw ran out, he offered a lucrative multi-fight deal by Golden Boy too. The caveat was of course that he'd have to fight Khan in the first fight of his deal.

With Top Rank, his first fight was Casamayor.

I wonder why he chose the latter.

[Craveman]

He did. He thought if he lost to Khan, he'd be out of Pacquiao's sweepstakes. Also he fought Casamayor prior to Pacquiao, where he could have fought Khan instead.

Bradley ducked Khan. End of thread.

I never read anything about a multi deal for Bradley from GBP.. you'd have to provided a link.. Bradley had one fight deal which is why they offered him 2mill.. Which was a **** deal in reality.. I'll wait for a link that Bradley was offered a multi fight deal..

Actually this is opinion.. Facts are tr was a better deal then any other offer that was available to him.. Bradley never said he was afraid of anything.. PAC was the biggest fight..

I see Khan funboys are still living in the past since that's all they can cling to.
