Why does Amir Khan get so much criticism, but not Anthony Peterson?

I brought this up because whenever they are on TV, it's always against some carefully matched opponent. It's not fun to watch when you know who's going to win.

Lamont on Saturday beat up the old shot fighter who had heart, and Anthony on Versus last week. I find it rather boring that these guys don't step up and fight somebody who has even a slight chance of winning.

That's what prospect's fights generally are... boring.

Outside of the occassional Arreola vs. Witherspoon, Povetkin vs. Chambers or Pavlik vs. Miranda... it is usually something like Berto vs. Rodriguez, where a competitive air about a fight is no where to be found.
