Tim Bradley DID NOT duck Khan.

[IronDanHamza]

It's true that Bradley was on Pac's undercard in an effort to build up to the Pac fight. Whether that was going to happen immediately after or a couple of fights down the road is not the relevant point.

I think it is relevant because you just said;

"He fought Casamayor on the undercard of Pac-Marquez 3. As a build up to his next fight, Bradley-Pacquiao."

Key word being "Next".

Well, again, that's not true.

[M Bison]

He avoided a fight because he was afraid of losing if that isn't a duck then wtf is?

Its a most blatant duck, perhaps he didn't want to be matched up against someone who is tall and fast?

Either way I think Khan would of beat Bradley and Bradley probably knew this aswell hence why he chickened out.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Call me crazy but I think I'll survive.

Tim Bradley wanted to join Top Rank because he wanted a shot at Manny Pacquiao. And he got one. Everything else is speculation.

Doesn't justify the duck. No matter how hard you try.

JMM has a lightweight chin...juan diaz was able to hurt that guy when he hit him

I don't think bradley was a better fighter back then, right now yes, but back then khan would've whooped his ass

Lol why? Because Bradley was untested against elite?? The guy is the same fighter.. What Bradley is somehow better because he got Merc'd by provodnikov and schooled by Pacquiao?

Doesn't justify the duck. No matter how hard you try.

Looking to fight a better opponent for more cash? Doesn't need justification at all. I don't need to try.

Wonder how much he made in that fight lol ...

Certainly not anywhere near the cash that would of been involved with Khan vs Bradley.

"Looking to" - yes we know you justify certain fighters facing scrubs as long as they're "looking to" face better opponents. I've seen the pattern with you. Bradley, Stevenson, Hopkins. I get it. As long as they eventually get the fight, it doesn't matter that they face bums in between.

[ShoulderRoll]

Well it is a very relevant point because the question is - how long is it justifiable for a fighter to face scrubs like Casamayor or Fofarna with the likes of you defending it because "eventually" they'll get a big fight?

Once Bradley signed with Top Rank he was on Bob's timetable as to when exactly the Pac fight would happen. It was out of Tim's hands at that point, but the plan was to get him there eventually as evidenced by him being on the Pacquiao undercard.

Stevenson is a separate issue where HBO was playing hardball with him and Showtime came around with a much better offer. An offer that HBO could have matched but chose not to.

Please try not to make this about me. I don't need extra attention.

No fighter in Tim Bradley's position would take something like an Amir Khan fight in the allotted time frame. No fighter in the sport today. Not one. And the "rah rah Khan!" cheerleading from some, while writing off Bradley as some kind of fearful fraud, has been a bit much. The more that has come out here, the less sense Bradley fighting Khan on July 23 made. Bradley hasn't ducked anyone.

Golden Boy's Richard Schaefer doesn't buy the duck talk either:

"It's surprising to a lot of people. Some people have said, 'Well, he's afraid of Amir.' I refuse to believe that. There must be another reason and you know what people are saying. I don't have to get into it."

Pretty obvious since it happened.

Bradley: What if I lose to Amir Khan?

I wonder what part you're missing?
