Lamont Peterson future champion?

[MARKBNLV]

I was very impressed with him in the Bradley fight, even though he lost i thought the kid looked like he could be special in the future ,i especially liked his work to the body.so heres the question future champ or gatekeeper?poll will be up shortly

Any thoughts guys?

yeah i think so. bradley was too good for him that night, but i also think that lamont fought the wrong fight from the beginning.
b/t he and his brother, lamont is the more skillful boxer (anthony's the more aggressive, heavier hitter), but we saw very few of those boxing skills becuz he became a stalker.
even getting blown out by bradley i'd still put lamont up with the top up n coming contenders in that division. i'd favor him over khan and maidana....maybe ortiz.
the only thing he really lacks is power, but he's a solid all-around fighter with heart.
i think he'll hold a belt at 140 some day. i think his chances diminish when he eventually moves up in weight though.

Too much too soon, hopefully he can rebound mentally from it. If he can, he'll be getting a titlist. I really like his combinations and his defense is solid, Bradley's counter punching was just on point, too good, and not gonna have it happen.

dude was homeless at the age of 10. im sure he can bounce back from a simple loss.

I dont think so, but maybe his TEAM, which is important for him, will help him to get better.

I actually had Lamont taking a few of the early rds his body punching is impressive he needs to stick with it throughout the whole fight.

He did not look that beat up he just caught a better man that night,plus Bradley does not exactly have career ending power,match him up against an Ortiz Guzman someone of that caliber.

It's not the same. There are plenty of street toughs and tough kids that could never rebound from a loss.

Outside experience does apply, but inside the ring it's a different animal.
