    He's not confident he can win against Khan thus avoiding him to have a chance of fighting PAC or Floyd which really means one thing and ONLY one thing. DUCK... if you really get to boxing's real definition of a DUCK what Bradley is doing fits the bill. Is he afraid? Yes! The simple fact that he's trying to protect he's "chance" for a big payday means he's afraid. Afraid of losing his "chance" not afraid of fighting Amir. If not for a "possibility" of fighting the big fish and making huge money enough to retire Tim would sign this fight against Khan in a heartbeat. But... It's a DUCK nonetheless :)

    So if he loses to Khan a fight with Khan goes 'out the window'.

    And if doesn't think he can beat Khan then he surely must also think he won't beat Floyd or Manny

    He's already stated that he doesn't want to lose as that will take him out of the Mayweather/Pacquiao sweepstakes.

    If that isn't ducking, I don't know what is.

    If Khan was doing the same thing, it would be a duck, so its a duck with Timbo as well.

    He's a sad, pathetic little man who had the opportunity to make millions but instead copped out at the last minute.

    That's why Kahn has a fan base. He's consistently called out Bradley or anyone decent, no excuses, not even a remote mention from khan or his team that it will ruin maybe his fight with Mayweather next year.

    That said I think if khan does it again and puts on another devastating show against any decent fighter, Mayweather will duck Kahn like he's ducked all the major names until Mayweather has his angle and is certain of victory, just like he's done for the last 10 years!

    Kahn for me has less to lose.

    Everyone knows the reason why he's not fighting Amir... He don't want to lose right? That's called a duck no ifs no buts

    Almost all cases of "ducking" in boxing are business decisions.

    And what'd Winky do?

    He consistently took tough fights, won them and brought his fame up the right way. He didn't duck anyone. There's a key fundamental difference here.

    Bradley is blatantly ducking. I hope a mountain ram challenges him soon to take the only real title Bradley has earned as the sports top headbutter.

    that summed it up...if he is acknowledging he wont fight him because he might lose...that is a duck....whether fear is an issue is a non factor..of course hes not scared of khan the fighter... but he is obviously scared he could lose...never looks good when you turn down a fight, a huge fight, unification on that basis...cant spin that one bro

    No that means he respects his opponent and understands that of course he "could" lose the fight, I mean is this not a given? To not be able to wrap your mind around the point he's making shows that your slow, no disrespect. The man supports his kids doing this why risk 10 million to make 1.5 million? If he can hold tight and make the 10 and at a later date still make the 1.5 why the **** wouldn't he? It may not be 10 but even if its 5 million for a Pac or PBF fight it's still in his best interest to wait, it's common sense really.

    if he was guaranteed a shot at one of them already , it makes sense...if hes turning down the biggest pay day of his career based on an "if pac calls" and "if mayweather calls" then its bull****...hes a fighter, a champion, and to not fight the 2nd biggest guy around because you might lose..is a bunch of bull****

    Khan didn't "devastate" anybody, I mean God Damn can we not keep some perspective, he won a fight (he was supposed to win) against a faded fighter, that showed up to get paid. I'm not taking anything away from Amir, I like him as a fighter, but scare PBF, come the **** on breh.

    Ortiz's win over Berto was far more devastating ( your word not mine) than Khan's over Judah. I mean come on dude, you're talking stupid here. SSM's win over Margaritto was far more "devastating" than Khans over Judah. Think man, surely you're better than this...surely.
