Seriously people. If you dont care to know at least some basics about boxing why even bother to come and post in a boxing forum?
Lamont Peterson: Current IBF world champ. Elite fighter that has never been KO. Had won his last three fights, against names such as Khan and Kendall Holt.
80% of commentators said Peterson would be too much for Matthysse.
I'll give you that he looked a bit worried about going against Matthysse but hell, so does Garcia and everyone else fighting him these days. That being said, Peterson started round 1 like a pro only backing when he felt those power shots. Matthysse had him down in round 2 and finished him in round 3. Sure, he got up and Smoger stopped it. But hadnt it been for Smoger Petersons courage may had caused the fight to end in tragedy.
Matthew Macklin: Nobody. Never won a world title. Has gone down more times than Britney Spears. Lost 3 of his last 4 fights. The one he won was against a tomato can from Canada to put a victory in his record after 2 losses.
Everybody and his uncle knew GGG would destroy this guy. He was scared from the go, hardly throwing a dozen real punches in round 1, and sticking to running away. Had he fougth a tough world champ and beaten him in the same manner then, yes, it would be comparable. If you're going to compare, Macklin is more along the lines of Dallas Jr. than IBF current champion Lamont Peterson.
I'm not taking anything from GGG, he's in my opinon the best in his weight class and you know what, I give him 65-35 chance of winning against Floyd. Yes, Money will duck GGG like you've never seen. He's a skilled, dangerous boxer that can end anyones carrer.
I hope he fights Martinez so that the title stays in the hands of a real champ.

Beat an old Holt, lost to Khan, beat Cayo
Macklin
Beat Alcine, took PFP Martinez 11 rounds, arguably beat Sturm.
Forget the titles PEDerson was gifted his anyway, PEDerson and Macklin are the same level. Only difference is US boxing media hyped up PEDerson while everyone remained realistic about Macklin.
I like both fighters but the public were misled over Peterson-Matthysse and the notion it would be competitive as well as the notion that Peterson was a deserving world champion. How he still has the belt is beyond me.Last edited by Weebler I; 06-30-2013, 05:24 AM.

Murray would have been a better fight I believe. It would have lasted longer for sure.
I would have LOVED to see GGG vs Martinez back when Martinez was still in his prime. Oh well, lets hope he fights Floyd eventually.

About Macklin-Peterson, how can they be at the same level when Macklin never managed to win a world title and has been KO before. He fought and old, crippled Maravilla Martinez last year and still couldnt win. Martinez is done. Dont get me wrong he used to be fantastic just a few years ago but now you can see he has limited movement and that hand of his is ruined.
