    Tim Bradley DID NOT duck Khan.

    He chose instead to sign with Top Rank in order to chase a Pacquiao fight. Since Pac is a tougher opponent and also a bigger payday in no way can anyone say that Bradley was "ducking" Amir Khan.

    And Tim has now managed to get not one but two big career paydays against Pac so he obviously made the right move.

    Yep I agree.

    the wiki sums it all up

    Timothy Bradley was stripped of his title as he refused to fight then World Boxing Association light-welterweight champion Amir Khan. Many have speculated that Bradley was not satisfied with the $1.3 million to fight a boxer of Amir Khan's caliber, although this was Bradley highest pay day in his entire career so far. Also, he had admitted that it was too risky to fight Amir Khan, asking rhetorically on the American radio show Leave It In The Ring, "What if I lose then I am out the sweepstake to fight pound-for-pound-king Manny Pacquiao for 7.5 million dollars?"[11] Bradley's refusal to take the fight led to a falling out between him and his promoter Gary Shaw. Subsequently he was stripped of the WBC title due to inactivity.[12]

      He had no chance of an immediate Pacquiao fight and didn't fight Khan because he might lose. Not fighting someone because you "might" get a bigger fight in a years time is a lame excuse that any fighter could use.

        Only an imbecile would think Bradley ducked Khan.

              He avoided a fight because he was afraid of losing if that isn't a duck then wtf is?

                  I do. Said so much about the two of them. One acting like an adult and the other like a petulant child.

                    If Tim Bradley didn't duck Khan then Mayweather didn't duck margarito.
