Peterson was given a chance to fight Khan in May and his team turned down the fight, Believe Peterson and Khan will be a waste of a fight since its Khans last fight at 140lbs and there are more exciting fights out there.
If Peterson fought Khan, Peterson would fight like Mosley, He will behave like a braggart about how he is going to stop Khan and wont be able to keep his big lips shut, Come fight night Peterson will turn up throw one lazy jab a round loose every single round to Khan and cash out.
Peterson needs Khan not the other way around, Peterson was sleeping on the streets of Washington, Thats not Khans fault. Peterson needs to forget this notion that Khan owes Peterson a living and handout. The kind of message Peterson is trying to put across is something like "Im young and African American, So the world and Amir Khan owes me a living and handout".
Who is Peterson? He is an ESPN fighter that has never won a world title in his life, Lost to Bradley, Got a gift decision against Ortiz. It takes Peterson about 8 rounds to get into the fight by which point he will already have lost on the scorecards.
Lets get Maidana -Guererro winner or Morales instead, Khan should not fight another African American with a low work rate that will do nothing for his career or for experience. If Peterson gets the fight and I hope he doesnt because it will be boring to watch Peterson struggle to throw one lazy jab, Peterson must be given a total slave deal, No PPV split, Just the minimum purse that he is entitled to as a mandatory challenger, Peterson must not get one extra cent of Khans money. Peterson wont have to live on the streets anymore thanks to Khan if the fight happens.
Peterson is a far better challenge for Khan than granddad Morales.
Khan picked on the undersized and old Barrera at 135 and now he's planning on fighting an undersized and old Morales at 140. :ugh:
Khan has been matched up well recently, has fought and beat some good fighters at 140.
Him fighting Morales is going backwards imo.
At least Peterson is a top ranked junior welterweight who deserves the fight after winning his eliminator.
Peterson won the fight against Ortiz, that wasn't a gift in the least. I had that fight 95-93 for Lamont. Ortiz only won 3 rounds, 1,3, and 10. If it would have been a 12 round fight he probably would have won by a bigger margin. And most people forget or don't even know that Ortiz had a 9lb advantage in that fight. He was the bigger stronger man that night and Peterson was able to outbox and counter Ortiz after falling way behind in the fight due to the 3rd round. He showed heart and ring intelligence. Give the man credit where credit is due.
This...:fing02:
is lamont peterson suddenly a bad fighter? wat am i missing? hes better than everyone khan has fought but maidana, kotelnik and even judah is arguable. i dont get it. what am i missing?

Peterson would probably make less than he was offered but am sure he wouldn't have to sign a rematch clause.
Rematch clause was never the problem,it was a rematch at the same price that was the problem..I think Peterson would get more being the mandatory now..
He just wants to smack Khan around the ring for a few rds. Far from a handout, just wants Khan to be a man and fight the best his division has to offer right now.
Yer cause up to this point, Khan hasn't been doing that at all.:ugh:
The difference now is, Peterson is Khan's mandatory, which entitles him to a mandatory purse split of 75%-25% if they were to go to a purse bid. I don't know what kind of deal Khan had offered him before, but now Peterson has some leverage in getting a better deal.
He was offered his highest ever purse off the back of basically two losses to Bradley and Ortiz.

*Sneers*
Khan will unify the titles with Morales if Morales wins the WBC, Khan is allowed one fight before making a mandatory defence. Peterson wont get a dime from Khan and rightfully so! It irritates the hell out of me seeing boxers trying to benefit from Khans name and the money he brings, Khan has earned his spot.
No handout or blank cheque for Peterson.
Khan benefitted from the name of Barrera. Whats your point? Guys like me want to see the best fights and not ***** about politics.
Peterson is a stiff opponent, simple as that.

What a racist, idiotic post!

The best the division has to offer? I guess Bradley, Mathysee, Guerrero, and Maidana are just bums...C'mon, Khan needs to fight either the winner of Maidana/Guerrero or Bradley. If they won't fight him he should move to welterweight and fight Ortiz after Mayweather beats him. Those other guys can follow him up if it comes down to it.
is that not like 55-45 or something am sure he'll be happy with that alright.

I thought you were a Tim Bradley fan? Am I sensing that you are starting to become a Khan fan? Just be honest.
