    ..hes exempt from being called a ducker? We all know he ran from Khan, why is nobody mentioning this awful blatant ducking?

    You don't know the story. HBO is guaranteeing him like 1.2 million in his next fight no matter who he fights. And i think he was about to get something similiar with Khan. So it was a calculated business move. People said he was avoiding Alexander. I knew that was bull**** as i know Bradley is a warrior. He'll fight Khan in due time. Both are young and have plenty of time. If he avoids Khan his whole career, then you can bash him.

    people know it has partially to do with his contract problems with shaw, he is free now. He should man up and target khan if he beats zab for december, no excuses.

    What are you ******ed?:roll: He's been labeled a "DUCK" by everyone in the US media and fans all over the globe. Being American doesn't somehow change the criteria for being a ducker son.

    it's not "no matter who" he fights. They had a pre agreed to list of fighters that would be approved. And as of now, he sits on the sidelines.


    Bradley doesn't fear Khan, but both sides had basically verbally agreed to the fight, more or less anyway, and Bradley backed out. It's just a bad move, especially since Shaw said he'd have no further options. It was this fight and his contract would be over.

    He's a regular bottlejob probably decided to give Khan a miss after his shitty performance against Deyvon 'it bleeds' Alexander.

    Majority of people are saying that Bradley ducked Khan. Even Americans

    there is a problem though, if khan wins vs judah and bradley wants the fight khan will probably really lowball him.

    Bradley turned down the fight and admitted that. He openly said that this fight could be too risky and he would rather wait for mega-fights with either Pacquiao or Mayweather.

    People accused Khan of being a ducker after the guy fought Maidana...

    People accused Bradley of ducking Khan after he unified against Alexander...

    I don't believe these guys are duckers, but they've got to look at the business side of things once in a while.

    I think it was a gamble that blew up in Bradley's face. He was hoping for a Pac or May fight and didn't want to be tied up. Now that those ships have sailed, he's left out in the cold and most decent guys around his division are busy.

    Give it a couple of years before you can call it a blatant duck. Right now, it's just a bad move.
