    Lamont Peterson Has No Chance Against Khan

    I dont understand the hype with Peterson, He has never in his life won a world title, Was outclassed by Bradley when he got a world title shot, Was given a gift draw against Ortiz, He is nothing but a glorified loser and hypejob.

    Peterson is a slow startered it takes him about 8 rounds to get into the fight and wont be able to cope with Khans speed and movement, It will be a one sided beating, Anyone who thinks Peterson can beat Khan is intellectually challenged or just a hater. Peterson has no power like Maidana, He has no speed like Malignaggi, He doesnt have a combination of the two like Judah. I just dont see how Peterson can be anything more than a punching bag for Khan.

    Khan is allowed one fight before he must face his IBF mandatory, I think he should look at the Maidana and Guerrero winner or Morales if he gets the WBC. Fighting Peterson would be a step backwards for Khan and it will be a waste of a fight when we can see competitive fights instead of watching Khan beating the living day lights out of Peterson.

    I would expect a pretty good fight between Peterson and Khan. Peterson is a good counter puncher and one of the few fighters who actually commits to working the body. Khan would have to work for the win.

      Peterson is so underrated. I actually had him beating Ortiz. He got off the canvas in his fights with Bradley and Ortiz to fight to a decision.

        It takes Peterson 8 rounds to get into the fight, He is painfully slow, The fight will be over before it even starts for Peterson. Not just that but he is a very low work-rate, I think he throws like 10 punches a round and most of them are lazy jabs.

            I noticed Peterson gets hit a lot. Khan's got a harder pop than Cayo. His chances of beating Khan would increase if he had a much better defense.

            Cayo ain't no Khan. Let's get that straight first.

              Cayo barely connected in this fight. The punches he landed were good but Peterson blocked almost all of them.

                It's a good match up though, good opponent.

                  That's what I'm saying. Cayo connected with pillow fists. Khan will be connecting MORE and puts his punches together much better.

                  It was a good win for Peterson, but he better step his game up.

                    Peterson fights to his level,if Khan brought the fight from rd one Peterson would be right there to oblige...
