How good do you think they are capable of being? Will they be ready to challange for a average title soon? How long until they can fight and elite fighter? Do you see them ever being on the level of some of the real big boys one day or just a step below? Which brother do you think will end up being better?
^^ beat me to it. yep I've seen via Dan Rafael the Peterson/Julio Diaz rumors
hopefully Anthony takes on either Julio or Kid Diamond in the very near future as the kid's had close to 30 pro fights (28-0 I believe)
really needs to step up the opposition
dunno about Lamont though, as far as he could face.
Anthony could face Julio Diaz on 2/21!!
Arum also laid out his plans for the rest of the Feb. 21 split-site doubleheader. The telecast will open in New York with heralded 2008 Russian Olympic middleweight Matvey Korobov (2-0, 2 KOs) in a four-rounder. "Then we're looking to do an Anthony Peterson fight, maybe against Julio Diaz," Arum said. "If Diaz doesn't take the fight, we'll do Peterson against another good opponent." Also on the New York portion of the card, Arum might try to do welterweight titleholder Joshua Clottey's mandatory defense against ex-titleholder Kermit Cintron. That bout would be followed by Cotto-Jennings. Then, Arum said, the telecast "will magically shift" to Youngstown, Ohio, for the main event of the telecast, middleweight champion Kelly Pavlik's mandatory against Marco Antonio Rubio. "We'll have five fights on the broadcast and not a lot of talking," Arum said. Pavlik opens training camp in Youngstown this week, manager Cameron Dunkin said.
i like the pair, they've got a great story, they seem like good people, and their fights are almost always entertaining. i hope they start getting title shots in the near future
The general opinion was that Anthony, the younger brother who fights at LW, was going to go farther than Lamont. Anthony does seem to have more power than his brother, but Lamont IMO has better defensive skills which might take him farther.
How far they go? Hard to tell, they are young havent really been tested yet. Also they havent been as active lately, not sure why.
They need to step it up big time.
Diamond vs Anthony Peterson needs to happen. The step up fight for Lamont, I'm not sure. Joel Casamayor? Casamayor would crush him.
