How good is Lamont Peterson.... really?

[Flash13]

Watch if Garcia does fight Lucas and gets dismantled then were goin to have a thread about him... I give Lamont credit for taking the fight against Lucas as so many lately have been hesitant to do. For the record I thought he got a gift draw against Ortiz and should have lost the khan fight.... But still a good fighter world class.

He fought Bradley hard, he overcame a rough start to earn a draw against Ortiz, and he beat Khan. He's not special in any way, but he's tough, adaptable, and proven at a world class level.

And Matthysse slaughtered him in ridiculously easy fashion.

This,Peterson is a tough out for anyone..Matt's made him look like a fish out of water..Peterson is a good fighter,Matt's deserves major credit for not only beating Peterson,but destroying him..

Peterson is a B+ fighter with huge cajones for the way he called out Lucas. But besides that, he has benefited from careful match making the way his brother has as well (check out Anthony peterson's record and you'll think he's ready for Broner). His biggest win is highly desputable and he was dropped by a very good, but featherfisted Timothy Bradley. It didn't surprise me that the hardest puncher in the division knocked him out in 3. He's chinny, and he isn't really hard to find. He's the 140 version of Alexander from a skill perspective. He's very good, but not elite because he's chinny but his cajones are too big for him to back down. He has heart like Josesito. Alexander and Judah are no better than Petey, but they were smart enough to not trade with Lucas, and they also benefited from fighting a slightly less aggressive Lucas.

After he beat holt ppl were saying he was the best 140 lb fighter. Once he got ko ppl say he ain't all that but they saying it to really down play Matthysse and his hype. Garcia vs Matthysse will determine top dog at jr ww. End of story.

He's somewhere between 75-year Morales and 49 year-old Zab Judah. Danny G has fought better opposition.

Even with his PED he is still an average boxer who needs all the advantages he could get to beat a chinny Khan, his best win is still probably a done Holt.
