    In my opinion Bradley honestly has a higher chance of landing Pac with Top Rank promoting him and with Manny saying hes done fighting in 2013...I don't how Bradley could have passed up this opportunity. :smoke

    People should really stop with the ducking Khan nonsense...It was a smart business move nothing less. As big as Khan talks he really not that big of a draw, and 50% of the 2 or 300,000 PPV buys he may have sold in the UK....is not the the same as fighting on a card where Pac and Marquez will likely go over 1,200,000 buys easy....thats 5 times as many PPV Buys as Khan....hes not on that level. :smoke

    I respect Khans skills as a fighter, I would have picked Bradley though by 1 or 2 rounds a very close fight...but decisioning Khan and getting 1.4 million is not the same as losing to Pac and getting 4-5 million, and theres always the outside chance he pulls the upset (I don't buy that lol, but their is that chance) and beating Pac makes him a superstar...beating Khan....makes you Breidess Prescott lol. :smoke

    You can't knock his decision financially but you can question his professionalism. He has refused the fans and the sport of a divisional champion, which is surprisingly rare nowadays. This type of behavior hurts the sport and it's not like khan Was offereing ring peanuts.

    exactly..why unify if you ain't gonna defend after winning it.

    Poor Khan's got to lose to May, and Bradley laughs his way to the bank when he fights Pac. and I hope he headbutts the sh*t outta cherrypicker Pac.

    Probably a good business move, atleast for the short term. He's getting 1.2 million fighting Casamayor, though he would've got that even if he was under Shaw. He would've got more against Khan. Long term, I'm not so sure. Arum feeds him to Pac, he'll get around 3 million but will get destroyed and how much will he be worth then?

    It's also bad for his legacy. Khan is now the 140 king by way of Bradley's default. People will look back at Bradley's 140 legacy, and it will automatically be dismissed for his blatant ducking of Khan. He pretty much **** that down the toilet

    Khan vs Floyd is not as simple as people think, Khan at 147 will be faster and bigger than Floyd how many times can you say that about Floyd opponents?

    King Khan will put his will on Floyd, he is not used to getting outboxed in a chess match, he will beat Floyd to the punch and jab away all night.

    I defended Bradley's decision when the fight didn't happen, and I certainly understand the business logic behind it. However, he also talked a great deal of trash before turning down the fight, and for that reason alone a lot of the backlash is also understandable.

    Floyd has way too much experience and the much higher ring IQ than Khan...Khan will give him some problems early on, but Floyd will figure him out and pick him apart.

    Khan has great speed, but is still very flawed.

    And no, Bradley is a ***** ass ducker, period. He talked about how he wanted to fight Khan, and now that he had the chance, he ducks and would rather cash out by getting destroyed by Pac. Had he fought and beaten Khan then he would deserve the fight with Pacquiao. He sure as **** deserves the beating Pac is gonna give him, but he sure as **** doesnt deserve the pay.

    It's a duck because he feared losing and that would hurt his chances getting Pac. Now if he thought he could beat Khan easily...

    :lol::rofl

    Keep telling yourself that, you'll be more disappointed when the fight actually happens.

    Floyd is going to cherry-pick Khan, yes it IS a cherry-pick, and pick him apart with ease.

    Khan would be lucky to win more than 2 rounds.
