    This logic makes sense to grown people. "Ducking" is how teeny-boppers interpret business that goes over their heads.

    Not quite. Khan and Bradley had an agreement which Tim backtracked on. He then sat idle for several months before Arum bailed him out with a Pacquiao fight.

    He could have made both fights had he wanted to and the Pacquiao fight would have been even bigger had he come into it with a win over Khan. Guess he saw Amir as somewhat of a risk.

    Sat idle? Is that what they call negotiations on Sesame Street? I guess if no one tells you about it it doesn't exist, huh?

    He did well at 140 and 140 then wasn't quite as prominent as it is now - the only one he did kind of avoid was Khan - but he got offered big money to fight Pacquiao and he's too big for 140 anyway, the guy fought at 154 in his amateur days I believe...

    Broner is avoiding 140 - Bradley didn't, he took on Pacquiao so it's not like he's scared of losing his 0 and is ducking the best

    He fought the ghost of Casamayor before he fought Pac. He probably would be better served to move back down if he can as he has been lucky twice and could easily have lost those two fights.

    The fight with Casamayor was part of the agreement with Top Rank.

    I understanding that you're probably some troubled, misguided soul looking for direction in life. I want to help.

    Therefore, on pages one and two of this thread, I have detailed what you should be doing right now.

    Give it a try, kid. :good

    Yeah forreal. But that was probably a showcase for him to make him look good.

    If you're in that desperate a need for a father figure, I will oblige.

    I already see why your other one left, though.

    Maybe you shoulda just ****ed off whenever he told you to.
