Comments Thread For: Khan vs Peterson is Being Worked Out, Says Roach

[Pullcounter]

peterson would not beat alexander......

also I just got word that the witter fight wasn't a lie....this is a great possibility of happining....i think peterson may have made 150 (grand) against ortiz & khan offered peterson 200 (grand) peterson thought it was too low he wanted around 5 to 600 grand to amirs 2 million. (500 grand in petersons favor would be FAIR vs amirs 2 million in my opinion) so now khan has increased it to 300 grand & it's his final offer....

i don't know if peterrson will accept it......

peterson should not accept it. who else is khan gonna fight when he's lowballin everyone; he even lowballs no name opponents.

peterson should stick to 500k. I mean he is with GBP so he will get another date against someone else.

I'm not a noob askk about me..Anyway Devon had three bad fights imo,the fight with Urango was not a great fight tbh..Yes a great finish but overall not a great fight by Devon,the fight was close at the time of the KO..Peterson digs deep and fights harder when the fighter in front of him is turning it up(look to Petersons fights with Bradley and Ortiz)Devon never digs deep he just relys on his talents to get him threw and tbh that's not enough to trouble Khan..I've been saying thiis since the Urango fight Alexander has a lot of flaws and then to top it off he. Really does not have a fighters mentality Peterson imo is the tougher fight and the better fighter..

thats your opinion......i do not see lemont beating alexander.... lemont was almost ko'd against ortiz & he was down on wobbly legs against bradley....if you are going by these types of triangle theories devon is tougher due to him never being down....and the alexander bradley fight was CLOSER then peterson/bradley before the stoppage. I do not feel that peterson would beat alexander. i do not feel that he is the all around better fighter or the greater threat to khan. I just think he has some heart....i think alexander would create MUCH more danger to khan then peterson could ever do.....thats due to devon being a tall tricky southpaw with pop....

also i am one of the ones who thought devon was up by at least 3 rounds before knocking urango out......ortiz vs alexander. i would choose alexander.....alexander isn't as nearly as bad as being portrayed by the nut huggers.....

. He made 100k against Ortiz. He is coming from a loss and a draw. Begger can't be choosers.

Lamont Peterson and Devon Alexander is a pic em fight IMO.

To say Alexander has more power, is faster, bigger, stronger, etc.... is crazy and shows your lack of knowledge on the 2. They are physically mirror images of eachother physically. I think Lamont has more resolve in him than Alexander thus making him a tougher foe.

He will take the $350k or so and give Khan a tough fight. He won't win a decision in the UK though. Ever.

Also, Peterson is not promoted by GBP. He is a free agent.

Yes they can.

Khan has to find someone that HBO will approve or risk losing the network fee from HBO which would cut into his money.

So yes, Peterson is in a little bit of a position of power.

He is coming off a draw, win and loss as well. And the loss was to possibly the best 140 lber in the world in Bradley and a draw to Victor Ortiz isn't the worst thing in the world either.

Khan will ante up.

150 k almost 200 k



the fight won't go through if khan doesn't put up 400 k. matter fact, i doubt if this fight will happen at this point.

alexander is faster, stronger, & bigger then peterson. peterson has more heart then alexander....i do not think peterson would beat devon. if peterson fights khan i think khan would blow him out due to the styles. peterson crouches down (thus making him smaller) he's easier to deal with......alexander is a tall tricky southpaw who FIGHTS like a tall tricky southpaw.......alexander would be a dangerous tricky fight for amir....not so much peterson...(in my opinion)

Thank god a lot of that is just your opinion.

Because facts are that height and reach are virtually equal on Peterson and Alexander. Fact is that their handspeed is pretty much equal.

And Alexander is not an awkward soutpaw. He is pretty basic actually. Jab, left hand, ocassional hook. Lead uppercut sometimes. Nothing overly weird about him.

alexander is taller then lemont (i don't care what boxrec says) he's slightly taller, but he's still taller. he's also bigger then peterson. peterson crouches & makes himself even shorter.....(plays into khans style) devon doesn't.

tricky & awkward are 2 different things prince nassem was awkward.

devon is tricky not awkward....again....

alexander is the much tougher threat to khan vs peterson......
