let's be real khan had looked past peterson thats why he lost

it happens so often in boxing when oscar had his mind on the fight with bernard he had to get past sturm first he overlooked him and sturm had other ideas as to how the fight was gonna go remember when sweet pea had one eye on the de la hoya mega fight when he fought Diosbelys Hurtado he overlooked him and nearly lost because of it khan had his eye on mayweather and took his eyes of the task at hand which proved to be a huge mistake let's stop making excuses blaming hometown advantage or the ref he had his eyes on the big money fight and just expected to blow away peterson but lamont like sturm did that night against dlh had other ideas im british btw and was very pro khan coming into this but he lost a close fight lets not get too excited here also why all the love for khan and not peterson in the first place? if anything peterson represents the everyday guy who works hard and reaps the beneifts of hard work and dedication khan has had everything fall into his lap he's been picked up by tv networks due to his amateur success in the olympics had the biggest promoter in the uk protect him all the way to the top then hooks up with one of the best trainers in the sport and becomes HBO/ Golden Boy's new wonder kid and has everything handed to him peterson grew up on the streets and had to work for everything he's got he hasn't had the advantages that khan has had yet he has become a world champion people should be commending his efforts and admitting that khan took him lightly and paid for it
