No, because I don't wish to ever see Peterson fight again. He is a drugs cheat and his presence shouldn't be tolerated in boxing circles.
So you don't believe in 2end chances??I mean Peterson did his time,it's not like he used plaster and beat someone within an inch of their life..I think Peterson did his time and should be let to fight again...
Peterson still looks like Khan's best option..He holds a belt and their first fight was a really good one...I really think Khan should be looking into this...
Beating Hatton doesn't prove anything, even for a tune-up. I rather see Khan take 5-6 months off and fight Brook. He has to fight an opponent that will show how much he's improved. He could fight Hatton with all his current flaws and whup his ass, pointless match.
It's not supposed to mean anything, other than to get him back on his feet with some confidence. He's no worse than McCloskey or Salita.
You're wrong, Khan is the draw. He can fight almost anyone.
It's all about what's best for his career.
Imo he should fight Matthew Hatton then move on to avenging his defeats.
dude never crossed my mind...but THATS a really good fight for AK atm...yea, that would work!!
Wouldn't hurt to try and get revenge against Peterson, would also be a great way to try and get his career back on track
It could finish Khan's career off. The PED excuse is just that. Peterson did not look anything superhuman to me and if the same Peterson turned up the best Khan could realistically hope for would be a scrappy points win. But there would also be a great chance that Peterson would beat him again.

If @MannyPacquiao picks @jmmarquez_1, Tim Bradley may pursue rematch with Lamont Peterson, I'm told.
Two boring rematches, let's hope they don't happen.
He needs a fight to get back on the horse after a devastating KO. Malignaggi already has a fight organised.

Matthew Hatton is everyone's tune-up fight lol. If Khan has any dignity, he would fight someone who's worth a damn. Hatton is taking a step backwards. If he's looking for a opponent who lacks power, fight Paulie.

I dont think peterson is the safer fight at all. yea prescott hits harder, but he is extremely limited in everything else. if khan can put his macho attitude aside, he can walk through prescott quite easily I think. Peterson has khans number, and considering their previous match, as well as his match with swifty, petersons chances are even better. If I were khan I would fight prescott, maybe a matthew hatton like the other guy said, and then go for a rematch with danny down the road (if danny keeps getting bigger), then see where he's at.
with all this, I think he needs to immediately leave roach and head over to a more qualified trainer. khan undoubtedly has skills. he needs a true boxing guy to enhance his potential. roach is not the guy. steward is his best bet I think. maybe even robert garcia, or floyd sr. who knows...
I don't agree..Peterson won that fight because the ref took those two(I know Khan deserved them but in the 12 rd the ref does it)points from Khan..If not for that Khan wins that fight..Khan also took those punches well and was not brutally knockout by Peterson..He fights Prescott those demons might come back and he might end up kissing the canvas again..Prescott to me is not a smart move,neither is Hatton tbh..If he stays at 140lb he needs to rematch either Garcia or Peterson..If he moves up he needs to fight Brook(in the UK would be great)Alexander or The Ghost...Smartest fights for him,stay away from Punchers as long as possible...

Khan is not a draw in the US,I think last Sat proved that..A fight with Hatton is a step backward imo...I thought his goal was to be great(this is what he said)great fighters take great fights..Hatton is not a great fight..
