    Did I not say Bradley was offed 2mill??2mill for one fight..While Bradley was offed three fights by TR..1.2 5mill and 1.7mill..Why would I stop using money??Do you not know the name of the fight game,or any other sport for that matter??It's all about money..

    Khan was a dangerous fight,Bradley would have been a fool to not acknowledge this..Yet this was not the reason for him not taking the fight..Go back and listen to the interview you your self referenced at the start of this thread..Bradley does say what if I lose,as it pertained to being stuck with Shaw..There were a lot of reason this fight did not happen..

    Bradley had promotional issues that was well documented even before he fought Alexander..TR had a better deal on the table..Pac is a better fight then Khan..a few reasons bro..

    I don't even feel Khan ducked Alexander tbh..This is a business,as fans you should try treating it like what it is..In your logic Khan ducked Alexander and Bradley duck Khan..I don't have the same logic..I see the business in both moves therefor I can not consider it a duck..Just a gamble(on Khans Part)and a better deal(on Bradley's part)..

        Khan's been calling out Floyd forever,and has been getting set back for just as long..

        Bradley calling out Pac was to show you where Bradley was as compared to where Khan was..Again,he was KO'd while Bradley already had unified the 1st time..When he unified the 2end time it was only natural he'd be looking for bigger and better things..His over resume got him got him a Pac fight,he was a creditable opponent for Pac at the time..Khan at this point is not..It's really simple truthfully..
        Record book also count Bradley win over Pac in first fight.

        You idiots who start this deserving/undeserving crap are the ones who doesn't deserve to watch any good fights been made.

          Rome it's pointless carrying this conversation on, we aren't going anywhere. To me it will always be a duck and to you it won't. By your logic, everyone should chase the money, I can't blame the boxers for doing that but i'm a boxing fan, when i see a duck i'll call it as it is. Your logic is ruining boxing and it's the reason why some boxers like Rigondeaux are avoided. The best should fight the best and there's no reason why Khan shouldnt have fought Alexander when he was the IBF champ. Likewise, there was no reason for Bradley not fighting Khan when he was also a unified champ at 140.

              Collazo may be past it because he had a past. Abregu never had one to begin with. Abregu is a contender even after 37 fights who still hasn't even been in a title fight let alone win one.

              So, how does Julio Diaz fit in this argument again? Collazo is Khan's WW win before a potential Manny fight and Abregu is Bradley's.

              Anyways, Diaz was a former champ (abregu not) arguably beat Porter a fight before. Diaz was also a career lightweight fighting at 147 so 143 was only good for him. You could've gone with Prescott as a better straw man.

              p.s people have to bring in a 3rd person to make a point over Khan like ducking Devon and what not, because sadly they can't use their own guy cuz he ducked Khan.

                But, Stevenson doing the same with Kovalev by switching channels was a duck.

                It was, but I'm saying that with Bradley it is kinda cute how his fan defend that. "Which deal would you take doe?". Yes, Khan did duck Devon.

                  He had proved himself one of the better fighters at 140 or 147. He was a better opponent than anyone Pac could have fought that was a welterweight. IMO he was better than anyone Golden Boy had at the weight besides Floyd.

                    It's just the usual crap people out with to take a dig at Khan. Just a while ago someone posted that Khan's not a 'big name'. It's odd and ******, the nonsensical stuff that people come out with is mind boggling.

                    It's Khan's obsession with Floyd that has given him a lot of problems. It was the reason why he passed up on Alexander, and a massive reason as to why he overlooks his opponents. As soon as Bradley moved up to 147, Khan should have done the same. That was the only good fight for him. Even now he has a chance to get that big fight, the only obstacle is that he's now with Al Haymon. As i've said on countless occasion, if he can get rid of Al and forget about Mayweather, he can get fights that his name should command. Sit down with Oscar and make fights against the likes of Pacquaio, Rios and Bradley.

                      I can respect your view,until you say the highlighted..My logic is how every fighter is going to look at it..So in order to understand things that happen in this sport you have to put ya self in the fighters shoes..

                      Donaire fought Rigo and Mares wanted to fight Rigo as well..My logic has nothing to do with Rigo not getting fights,his personality and boring nature is why it's hard for him to get fights..He should move up as well,there is another way to land fights..I really resent the highlighted...I'm a boxing fan just as much as you are..Are view may differ,but don't put Rigo or any other fighters short coming on me or any other fight fan who looks at all angles of the sport..
