Tim Bradley is not ducking Amir Khan.

^^
Amen.

 

Good business move if he thinks he'll lose cos then it's best to get a huge pay day like David Haye did

If he's genuinely not scared then this is a pathetic move, this win would make him huge

So in conclusion, he's ducking

 

if he beats pacman its the best decision of his life.... but seriously what chance do you give him? a small, light punching fighter against pacman.... pacs last 4 wins he dominated, hatton, cotto, mosley, margerritto at welter weight. bradley looked ok against, alexander, abregu, peterson and holt. in none of those fights did he really dominate and show exceptional ability, more like good solid fighting with grit and determination.... that doesn't cut it against pac.

 

You have a point about how popular fighters can get losses. DLH, Cotto, Judah ect can get losses and still get fights.

Someone like Winky that isnt as promotable, one loss will throw you off. He was sent back to ESPN land after the disputed loss to Vargas. Meanwhile Vargas gets KTFO by trinidad and gets a DLH fight for it. Winky only got back in the picture when Mosley offered him a shot.

 

What about the fear of losing to Khan.

 

Sure he is duxking !

But why is he losing the belts , khans not a mando

whats the full story here ?

 

Exactly, which is why one loss shouldn't be seen as a death sentance.

 

When is the last time Bradley won a fight without using the top of his head to headbutt ? he has no fans as it is because of his boring style I fail to see where he is going to go if it's not khan.

 

because its a massive fight that the fans want and makes sense for it toi happen. i think its the right thing to do. boxers shouldn't be able to pick and choose who they fight. you should fight the best. if you lose your not good enough!

bradley had admitted he didnt want the fight because its too ricky... he out right admitted he's ducking for financial reasons. they had no choice but to strip him.

 

I don't think Bradley's ducking him either. His reluctance comes partly from the Alexander fight debacle and not wanting to rush into another big fight prior to it's peak clamor. Timothy has also seemingly discovered an ego and believes himself to be a bigger draw/star than want he really is which complicates any potential negotiation.

 

But fear of not making money implies a fear of Khan. Or at the very least a lack of confidence in his ability to beat Khan.

 

He was calling out Khan after the Alexander fight.

 

You got a link for this quote.

 

When Tim Bradley was calling out Khan he was being promoted under Gary Shaw. Floyd or Pac weren't on his radar at this stage so Khan offered the biggest pay day for Bradley. No wonder he was calling him out at every opportunity. It's no coincidence when he signs with Top Rank he no longer becomes interested in Khan, why is that, Arum obviously promised him a shot off Pac in the not too distant future. It's not exactly difficult to figure out.

I understand why Bradley is now ducking Khan, most boxers would do it, he isn't exactly a superstar and he needs the big pay day. However, the way he was calling out Khan all the time telling Khan not to duck him etc, he looks like a ***** now and he brought it on himself.

 

When there's a situation where 2 men stand to make career high paydays, where both have a lot to lose and everything to gain, when it's for the undisputed and Ring title, when you have that situation and one man doesn't want it then it's a duck.
