    Peterson is an excellent boxer and would give Khan all types of problems no question about it.

      This. Peterson does some nice work on the inside and to the body, and TS has no clue what he is talking about to say Peterson is slow. As a starter, maybe but that's because he is digging into the body, he's got nice hand speed. The problem is though I don't think he does a good job of trapping his opponent they somehow just start to want to slug it out on the inside which favors Peterson. However, Peterson blocks too much I'd like to see him counter a little more, I see this being a Manny/Clottey type fight in the sense that Khan will throw 3-5 punches combos and get out, but Peterson will return 2 or even 0 sometimes. I still think it would be a good fight as Khan likes to mix it up occasionally I'd definitely like to see this fight.

          Khan would have to be in stellar condition for a full 12rds with Peterson.

            I do feel that Peterson is a skilled boxer, but he isn't Khan's kryponite. If anything it will be any guy with power.

            Peterson to me will be easy for Khan. He hasn't got a great defense, and I don't think he has a great chin either. I feel that Khan would break him down and stop him.

            The problem for Peterson is that he will face a guy faster than him, stronger than him, similar size to him, and he also a guy who is improving each fight.

              Peterson wouldn't last 5 rounds, his style is tailor made for khan.

                Oh and btw hardly anyone can do bodywork to Khan. Maidana only had the chance because Khan got hurt badly while Peterson will not have the power to.

                Bradley vs Peterson watch half way and see zbradley easily out box on the back foot. Peterson didn't get close. He won't get pass the jab to get body work. Khan also has damn fast feet.

                Obviously vs Ortiz you saw him get dropped, and Ortiz came off it. I personally don't think Peterson won 8 of the 10 rounds to get a 'win'. Not if he lost one by 10-7 and a 10-9. He would need to 'win' all 8 to get a 'win'.

                  I would take THAT bet - Peterson will NOT lay down for Khan, no way.

                    Problem is that when the fight happens if it happens between Khan and Peterson, You will be nowhere to be seen or heard like Bradley to make the bet happen.

                    Peterson is slow as hell, It takes him 8 rounds to get into the fight by which point Khan will have won every round and probably even stop him before Peterson knows what hit him.

                    I understand Peterson is African American and other African Americans feel the urge to hype him and promote him, But he dont stand a chance against Khan.

                      I'm one of Amir's biggest fans but he has one of the worst inside game's in the sport, it's nigh on non existent

                      Although he actually threw a few nice body shots inside against Zab

                      Roach needs to work on that and sharpish
