Am I the only one sick of Lamont and Anthony Peterson? I've been watchin these guys forever, yet they have yet to take on anyone worth watching. Yes, I know they're both very young, but they've had very televised careers and they seem to be getting nowhere. I was wondering, if you had the power to choose their next fights, who would you choose for them?
Lamont Peterson, the older brother, is sitting in a division with young talent. He can work his way up to a Holt or Torres fight, maybe even a Hatton or Malinaggi fight. For now, I think a great fight between two unproven prospects would be Lamont-DHop. Demetrius is no Bernard, but he's still a very good boxer who is starting to be a lil inactive (although he is finally fighting again). I find him and Lamont very similar in many ways, and their careers have been almost identical. This would be the test to see which one deserves the spotlight and which one needs to get over their undeserved deal with major tv networks, or undeserved success over famous relative, and push to advance their career.
Anthony Peterson, baby bro is swimmin in a sea of sharks. Pacquiao is looking for an opponent, but let's be real this fight as much as I'd enjoy it, aint happenin. How bout Julio Diaz? He has no plan to retire soon, and this would be a great comeback/network fight that they could main event. One just coming off of a PPV fight with p4p #1, the other a network regular that has already cohosted main events before. There's also Jose Armando Santa Cruz. This guy schooled Diaz (until he got knocked out), whooped on Edner Cherry, and more or less beat CASAMYOR (not on the scorecards, but did win worst decision of the year)! As lackluster a performance as that was, it still says a lot for a guy that has since gone on to knock out Katsidis and get a ppv fight with a p4p fighter.
Am I the only one that thinks it's time for these guys to at least be fighting B fighters already? Are there any other fighters the Peterson brothers should be fighting instead? Or do you think they should keep on getting paid for these glorified sparring sessions on major boxing networks?
