Peterson's a solid guy.

But why him and not Ortiz.

You would think that Ortiz is the bigger name and would sell better.

Former world champion Zab Judah and *rising star Victor Ortiz – both Yanks – are also on the shortlist of possible *future opponents but one-time world title challenger Peterson is first in the queue.

Ortiz doesn't want to fight in the UK.

Wait, why not just wait for the Bradley-Alexander winner???

Peterson is a very solid opponent and could give Amir some problems. From a learning perspective its a very good fight for Amir but from an excitement perspective its just okay.

How about a Maidana rematch in the UK?

I’m sure it would sell out…

Because Amir wants to fight 3 times a year. He didnt like the fact he only fought twice a year in 2010.

He wants to fight in April, July and December. April is too soon for the winner of Bradley-Alexander to take on Amir which takes place on Jan. 29th.

Khan-Peterson is a good solid fight before facing the winner of Bradley-Alexander. The Ortiz fight wont happen yet and may eventually happen at 147lbs.

This will sell out in UK regardless of whom the opponent is.

Got no prob with the Peterson fight.

Peterson is putting himself in a tough Situation.

Bradley, Ortiz and now Khan.

That's a tough schedule.
