What did Bradley do to get the Pacquiao showdown ?

@ thread maker, do you still remember Khan avoiding Devon Alexander last year because he thought the Mayweather fight was in the bag just like Bradley did to him before Pacquiao? Against a guy who Bradley bullied in the ring in Alexander! Pot calling the kettle black! LOL.Last edited by chocolate; 05-24-2014, 03:10 PM.Comment

It looks great now. Try looking at it from the perspective when the fight was just finalized. At that time there were no 24 rounds nor Marquez schooling. At that time it was just him ducking Khan and it paying off in the shape of a $5 million payday. Oh and an Abregu win at WW to justify it as well.
Again Bradley is an elite fighter, but at the time it didn't look pretty.Last edited by Box-Office; 05-24-2014, 03:16 PM.Comment

Just like countless others have. Ricky Hatton, he got a gift decision vs Collazo and fought Floyd, Marquez fought Juan Diaz 2 weightclasses below before fighting Mayweather, Brandon Rios has just fought Manny after fighting Alvarado at 140. Next in line will most likely be Danny Swift Garcia for Floyd.It looks great now. Try looking at it from the perspective when the fight was just finalized.

I do remember and yes Khan did duck Alexander. Point isn't Bradley ducking Khan, but how Abregu gets you Pacquiao and Collazo can't according to the people on NSB.
So, how does using triangle theories prove anything again? Khan also dropped and beat Maidana with a UD where as Floyd with a MD and struggled with it and it was probably a draw.Comment

The problem TS is having is that he believe's Bradley and Khan are even close to the same position..News flash is that their not..
Khan even at the time him and Bradley was suppose to mix it up was not really on level with Bradley..His fans and the media tried to spin it this way but it just was not true..Bradley had called out Pac after beating Peterson(come break down this wall Manny,remember)..This same yr Khan was laid out flat on his back by a never was/and never will be in Prescott..
Khan loss back to back losses and since has still yet to get a creditable win..Now while his win over Collazo was a step in the right direction,it's not enough to bring him back in the Mayweather fold..He still has not had a win of note in going on 3 yrs..
Bradley was a underfeated two time unified Champion at 140lb,and let's not forget was changing promoters..Bradley and Khan was in different situations..Comment

He didn't get knocked out by Breidis Prescott or Danny Garcia in fights that were there to make him look good.Comment

Khan was also a unified champion in the 140lb division. Bradley even came out and admitted he was plainly ducking khan. I can't paraphrase exactly what he said but it was along the lines of 'its a risky fight and if i lose where do i go from there'. Khan was also a bigger draw than Bradley, bringing better viewing figures on HBO and receiving a larger purse, despite that Khan was willing to go 50-50 to make that fight happen. Bradley didn't want any part of Khan.The problem TS is having is that he believe's Bradley and Khan are even close to the same position..News flash is that their not..

Bradley himself has been fortunate to not have losses against Pacquaio and Provodnikov.Comment

Khan has been calling out Floyd since for ever and that doesn't mean anything. Also what does "that year when Bradley called out Pacquiao and Khan was laid out" has to do with anything anyways?The problem TS is having is that he believe's Bradley and Khan are even close to the same position..News flash is that their not..

Khan was not on Bradley's level? Khan was fresh off of a Maidana win.
Of course Peterson's win over Khan would be a legit win for you.
I'm not even talking about Mayweather, because Khan needs one more win for that. I'm speaking specifically about Pacquiao.
Yes, I didn't forget he changed promoters and then he fought Joel Casamayor to defend his belt at 140 after switching promoters. I'm guessing Casamayor was "THE" win that got him Pacquiao and not Abregu?Last edited by Box-Office; 05-24-2014, 03:28 PM.Comment
