    it's a business move. just like when marquez passed up on a khan fight when it was offered to him to have a chance to fight pacquiao.

    but of course they are the #1 and 2 at LWW, so the issue of ducking here is very strong.

    Bradley's made more sense now that he got Pacquiao.

    1. You're a troll.

    2. Time is perspective. I think it's safe to say he didn't duck a guy if he would have been the big favorite and he went on to immediately face someone leagues better.

    Bull****, he clearly ducked him. I could not care less about his financial motives, point is that he had the opportunity to get into a fight with all the belts on the line for the whole division, which is rare in boxing.
    And he walked away from it, he could have beaten khan and gotten the pac fight as well.
    He admitted he ducked khan because he was too risky, had he been easy timmy would have fought.
    Just because khan lost a close war and bradley got pac this doesnt change it.
    Its not as bad as bowe vs lewis cause he gets a higher level fighter while bowe couldnt but it still is a pretty obvious duck and needs to be acknowledged.

    Why the hell would he be "scared" of Khan when he's fighting Pacquiao?

    Dumbass.

    They both came off big wins vs maidana and alexander so khan vs timid tim would have been a huge fight in the summer of last year. Khan offered timid tim the same deal peterson is getting right now and had he won that, this pac fight would have been huge. Now he is just a guy who ducked khan and is coming off a win over a high as **** casamayor.

    I admit atfirst i said bradley was ducking khan but look who's bradley is fighting? Pacquiao in which is why bradley signed with arum instead of staying with shaw. Its a smart business move.

    No duck when you are fighting some one as good if not better, more money and from the same stable.

    Good for Bradley.

    Kind of like Floyd taking Baldomir and then getting DLH and becoming a superstar instead of Margo.

    Who cares? He is getting a huge payday with a superstar. In contrast: Khan suffered a defeat and had to *****, whine, and beg to get a rematch with Peterson because he was too dumb to get a rematch clause.
