Is Kell Brook currently "ducking" Tim Bradley?

[CatchAndShoot]

Most ww's wouldn't want to risk it with a Bradley type fighter. PAC did it twice, and won handily, twice.

PAC > your favorite WW.

I don't think Brook is ducking Bradley just yet. Brook just KOed his number 1 challenger so he is allowed to fight a different opponent, Gavin is ranked number 5 so he is an acceptable opponent. Bradley is now the top contender for Brook's title. If Bradley asks for a title shot and Brook turns him down after he beats Gavin [if he wins] then he would be ducking Bradley. If Bradley was offered an eliminator fight with Khan and he said yes then how could he be ducking Khan?

Unequivocally , yes.

Eddie is fixated on the Khan fight, the Khan fans were right about that.

Bradley afaik has said nothing about Brook at all. If he becomes the mandatory we'll know what Brook's about.

Brook having option to fight top guys like Bradley and Thurman but fighting a guy they would be huge favourite against and characterising it as a "stay-busy" fight after just fighting a mandatory which was also seen as an easy fight

Well like previously stated, he's only staying busy because Khan ducked him.

If Khan didn't duck him, he wouldn't be having a stay busy fight on the Undercard of the May 30th card. But, he did.

So before the big name in July/August, he's staying busy on May 30th.

Very simple stuff.

Bradley has Chaves problems.

Honestly, the only fighters at 147 that can beat the special one are Manny and Floyd.

Everyone else loses by KO or UD. Chocolate Brownie is too much for them.

Khan isn't the only good fighter at welterweight, instead of taking yet another pointless tune up fight, he could gone straight to a proper opponent. He will fight Rios after Gavin...who is barely a top 15 welterweight. God knows when we'll him fight another top guy.

It seems he has a fight with bradley he coulda took that would have done just as much for his career as a khan fight IMO. (Maybe not money wise). The khan fight will always be there right? Instead you fight frankie ****in Gavin.

It doesn't really make sense.

I know he's not, I'm simply explaining why the stay busy fight is happening. If Khan didn't duck him, it wouldn't be.

Atleast the tune up is going be a quick turn around, he fought in April, he's going to fight again in May, then again a few months later.

I think Rios is a decent fight, would prefer Thurman or Marquez but Rios won't be an easy fight IMO plus he's a big name.
