The facts are he had 1 fight left with shaw, no contract extension, he was getting 1.4m 80/20 split and 50% of UK ppv. Dan rafael stated numerous times there was no contract extension and that it was his last fight under shaw. Its as clear duck as there has ever been and there is no denying it! Bradley ducked khan!
On top of that he got his ass sued by shaw for declining that lucrative fight with Khan. Also Khan challenged Marquez several times, Marquez ducked his ass as well.
Gary Shaw confirmed that the Khan fight would be his last with Bradley.
Bradley simply was worried about losing to Khan and not getting bigger paydays in the future. You can argue till your blue in the face for however many years to come but those were the words straight from the horse's mouth.
It was a very embarrassing public duck. The worst I've seen in years.
Bradley would get easily outboxed. Khan is better everywhere, which is why Bradley wanted no part of him and ducked him. He's longer rangier,faster, bettere boxer and Bradley doesn't have the power to hurt Khan.
In reality, Bradley didn't want to risk losing to Khan and missing out on Pacquiao/Mayweather. In other words, Bradley was no where near as confident as you are about beating Khan. He doubted he could beat him 100% like you think.
But i'm gonna keep it real, Bradley fought a better fighter in Pacquiao and another great fighter in JMM, he also beat Peterson easily, while Khan struggled pretty bad with him. So I can't really call him a duck. But straight from the horses mouth, Bradley doubted himself. "What if I lose?" Let's face it, for a guy like Bradley who can't punch, Khan is not easy work, far from it.

I stopped reading there
I didn't see this until now. I basically just said what you said
Whoever was alive and well at those times know damn well Bradley did not want to lose to Khan and lose out on possible Pac/May fights. Did it work out for him? Yeah, it really did, fought Pac twice, and JMM, got paid very well. So in the long run his plan worked out. But people shouldn't make excuses for him. He was afraid Khan would beat him, plain and simple.

You posted the proof right here..Bradley's contract was up in June..They wanted to make the fight for July..How's is this hard again?/How would he have even fought Khan without signing a extension??This is not hard people..
Between Pacquiao fight being signed in February 2012 and talk of a Khan-Bradley match up after he beat Alexander in January 2011, there is a solid year of full on shameless ducking. Why is it so hard to comprehend?
Bradley fans factor in things: Pacquiao fights, PPV Headliner, Marquez, Multi-Million paydays. Ummm yeah, but the fact is you did NOT, I mean NOT have a crystal ball to foresee that. It wasn't so straight forward like "Oh hey umm Tim, you want to fight Khan or Pacquiao on PPV for Millions?"
It all looks rosy afterwards.
Your all over the place,and again speaking from an emotional place..Not one of rational logic..You did not need a crystal ball to know Bradley going to TR would be better for his career..You also did not need one to see if he was going to fight Khan he was going to do it with Shaw attach to the deal..Bradley's contract was up in June,they wanted to make the fight for July..TR offering 4 fights,Shaw/GBP offering 2mill..This is the best and most factual way of seeing it..It's also a very easy and simple decision..
