Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Looks For Bigger Game in April Homecoming

[JCairo]

I'd like to see Khan fight a counter-puncher like Peterson, see how he handles one.

He's already fought:

- A well-rounded boxer who has decent speed, a granite-chin, a good jab and decent counter-punching skills (Kotelnik)
- A slick, quick, granite-chinned, boxer like Malignaggi.
- A very strong, pressure fighter in Maidana, who also has a decent chin.

So now I'd like to see him fight a proper counter-puncher in Peterson.

I wouldn't mind him fighting Joan Guzman at a catchweight, say 144 or 145 - that way Guzman could make weight (maybe).

agreed. peterson is slick and has decent speed. but it seems like an easy fight for khan. peterson doesn't have the power to keep khan off. and he doesn't put together combinations very well. its a respectable stay-busy fight. i think what peterson does have that khan's past opponents don't, is height and reach. it will be interesting to see how khan deals with someone his own size.
