@kingpete26 who are your top 5 boxers you would like to fight next?”Khan, Bradley, Marquez, Rios, Pac
Hopefully Amir Khan is next cuz the other 4 are with Top Tank. Peterson vs Rios would be a phone booth fight.
Peterson and Maidana would both beat Rios. I just hope Gamboa KO's him 1st.
How does Peterson handle the punch of Rios?
And you'd have to favor Maidana over Rios but there are ways Rios could beat him. He could push Maidana back faster than Maidana could handle and outwork him a bit. If he could take the punch he is the better in tight fighter with sharper punches.
i think he should fight Marquez next. Really high status fight which he can possibly win at 140, and he still has a rematch with Khan to fall back on if he lose.
If he beats Marquez hes probably a frontrunner to fight Pac in november.
Rios vs Peterson would be a phone booth fight... for the one round it takes for Rios to stop him. Peterson has a weak chin and never really finished developing his outside boxing skills so he's more of an inside fighter with good speed and craft. That won't work with a better inside fighter with more than enough power. Maidana, Rios, etc. would all be major trouble for Peterson and early. Victor Ortiz is a headcase and don't let that fool you. I said it'd be an early Ortiz win and it was looking like it until Ortiz just... stopped.
