    Dude, he's 28, he's not young, he doesn't have alot of time to "rebuild" his name if he were to lose. The thing is he just faught the "Khan fight" with Alexander. Part of him doing that prematurely and taking the money he did, was for future opportunities, why would he turn around and do the same thing again for peanuts, and risk pissing away his "big" chance. Like it or don't like it, but he's trying to right by his family and I respect that, selfishly I'm not happy about it, but I understand it.

    This man literally went to war, he isn't "scared" of Khan, it's like people get on this site and lose their ability to reason and critically think. Also do you not think he probably has some indication that he'll be in line for a PAC fight that may not be public knowledge? He's unified the belts twice, the man is a pro's pro, and deserves the respect he's earned and the benefit of the doubt.

    He was offered nearly $1.8M + 50% of UK PPVs (which was unheard of) and instead he cops out after saying "Khan why you runnin" so many times?

    A Duck is a Duck is a Duck, no matter how you cut it.

    The guy on your avatar was considered the greatest largely due to him saying so himself. In America, to be the best you have to constantly repeat that you're the best ;)

    If you won't fight a guy because there is a possibility you will lose. That is called ducking.

    So if Bradley is ducking Khan, then Khan is ducking Prescott, who has been screaming for the chance to give him a rematch.

    And why? Because Khan has a possibility of losing that fight. And if he does, he can kiss the PBF and Bradley fights goodbye.

    Sound Familiar?

    As soon as a fighter starts avoiding certain fighters he's not a fighter anymore.

    if you want to go teach a class on boxing business 101 , you would probably be a good teacher. but the boxing world, public and most other boxers dont care and sees a win would make sure he would make even more money vs a pc or mosley...he last fought in january...so hes gonna wait until sept for floyd and ortiz...and hope floyd wins and hope he doesnt take a year off before he picks a next opponent...manny fights in nov...earliest he will fight again is late april or may....if he doesnt fight one of those 2 next he will have been inactive for 16 months...quite a gamble ....and could be a bad business if the decide to pass on him....there are alot of dumbass posters on here...anyone who says he is scared of khan personally , us a dumbass because hes not...
    but if everyone was as honest as bradley...no one would fight no one unless it was for the mother lode...for fear of blowing that shot... maybe bradley shoudlnt have been so honest.....maybe bullshited like floyd and hide behind a test...floyds a good businessman and knows he could lose too...but will never admit that like bradley

    But Khan just fought an old Zab, who has lost ALL of his big fights and has looked shaky lately.

    Prescott Ko'ed Khan in humiliating fashion. Getting revenge against him is better than fighting Mccloskey, now isnt it?

    Also, Bradley has called out Floyd and Pac, who are WAAAAAYYYYYYY more dangerous than Khan.

    In fact, Bradley would be hard pressed to beat either one. He has a much better chance of beating Khan.

    an old zab still had a new belt, and IBF belt

    getting revenge only seems like something all you guys want,...khan has moved on in case you havent noticed and only fights high profile fights and not revenge fights

    khans last fights

    WKO5 Zab Judah IBF & WBA World light welterweight title
    WTD6 Paul McCloskey 22-0 WBA World light welterweight title
    W12 Marcos Maidana 29-1 WBA World light welterweight title
    TKO11 Paul Malignaggi 27-3 WBA World light welterweight title
    TKO1 Dmitriy Salita 30-0 WBA World light welterweight title
    W12 Andriy Kotelnik 31-2 WBA World light welterweight title
    WTD5 Marco Antonio Barrera 65-6

    Nice and simple. Just the way you like it. :roll:

    So you think both situations are similar? Khan has gone on to beat guys better then Prescott since his loss. So must avenge that or what? Never live it down to you? I'm sure Kostya Tszyu will jump to the idea he needs to come out of retirement to beat Vince Phillips in your eyes to redeem himself. And Hatton. Maybe Get Hops a third shot at Jermain taylor while your at it. Also, you must think Martinez should go back and avenge his loss to Margarito right? Wow Comp...you should just work for a promoter. It's just so easy for you to play matchmaker. You are obviously well versed in it. :lol:

    You just don't see that Khan vs. Bradley is what makes sense for them. Prescott vs. Khan only makes sense for Prescott who's done nothing since his win over Khan.

    But hey, you don't mind that Bradley sits even longer, avoids challenges and does nothing, or even worse, just feasts on hand picked safe foes do you? No, you just worry about his pocket book. :patsch
