    I give Bradley the benefit of the doubt. Arum had clearly guaranteed the Pacquiao bout next (Arum was never going to negotiate the Mayweather bout), leaving Bradley in a horrible position in terms of media, and how to go about why he didn't take up Khan's offer.

    Bradley has never shown any doubt in taking up challenges before, unifying the division twice already, and now taking on a much, much, much steeper challenge in Pacquiao.

    That's my opinion anyway.

    1. How about you put me on ignore then and stop replying to my threads :patsch

    2. I think it's safe to say you've got your head up your ass, he wouldn't have been a 'big favourite' especially after Khans fight with Maidana, once he saw that Khan wasn't the lawn chair he thought he was he immediately bottled it in the fear he'd lose to khan and would then become irrelevant losing out on the chance to fight Pacquaio or Mayweather.

    Guy with Floyd avatar defending Timid Tim's ducking, what a switch :lol:.

    Firstly why are you quoting the word 'scared' when I didn't use the word anywhere in my post? And he was blatantly and shamefully ducking Khan because he feared the long term effects of a loss, he himself wasn't confident he could beat khan so decided to stay inactive.

    Bradley would rather lose for 5 million than 2 million.

    Smart business move? yes, but its also a duck no matter how you look at it.

    Yep exactly it was all about the $$$ but it's surprising to see people claiming it wasn't a duck because he's fighting someone better then Khan now :blood
