The great thing about the LWW division is there is no shortage of top guys to fight right now. Things didn't work out with Amir? Go fight Alexander, Maidana, Matthysse, etc.

No one wants to see Peterson anyway, cant beleive Alexander is geting over 1million in his next fight, its all absurd. HBO put your money in this fight and get someone decent! Mathyse comes to mind.Comment

You a world title fighter you've been fighting across the ocean for two fights in a row.
Then you gonna come home and your first fight in your home country, after winning what was recognised as FOTY, is gonna be a unification fight?
Or is it gonna be against the number 2 in your country who ranks above you according to the WBC?Comment

I'm gonna post this here aswell cos u Yank suckers can';t look past you stars and stripes...
They offered Peterson 300k.
He turned it down. 300k for a world title fight and you turn it down?
Your second world title fight at 27 years old for 300k?
You turn that down?
Peterson is probably at the peak of his boxing ability right now and only seeded 8th and McCloskey is 10th and over the hill 31.
McCloskey is also 2nd seed in the UK so he makes a bigger draw in the UK than Peterson. A better decision for Team Khan, people were getting on my back saying Khan was duckign McCloskey, especially when the talk about Junior Witter came out. He has a following and thats money in the bank right there. Would be ****** to pay over the odds for a similar level of fighter that has no following in the UK.
If it was Prescott I would be happier but its obvious Peterson was their first choice, unless he wanted to ask ****** money.
Guys like Prescott, Guzman and even Witter would have all been better draws than Peterson and they were willing to give him 300k and he gave it up. For what? A shot at Devon?
McCloskey is ABOVE Peterson on the WBA and WBC Rankings. Khan doesn't even register on the WBC rankings.
The Bradley fight has to happen sometime soon but Peterson?
He's hardly a mandatory, or a serious draw so he doesn't deserve ****** money. He should take the best he can get. His team didn't play his cards right.Last edited by DET. IRONSIDE; 02-06-2011, 12:02 AM.Comment

He is fighting a guy that is rank #10 in the World by the Ring. Not in his country but in the World. He has already beaten 2 guys who are ranked in the top 5 in the World. Not in his country but in the World. He also has another win with a guy who was ranked in the top 10 in the World. Not in his country but in the World.Comment
