Lamont Peterson Has No Chance Against Khan

[talz]

Please elaborate....

Ok first lets look at the physical advantages khan has:

Height advantage, Speed advantage, power advantage

Whereas peterson only has a reach advantage but he doesn't fight on the outside, he fights on the inside mostly.

Peterson is a tiny jnr.ww in comparison to khan, he was the same size as cayo who i consider one of the smallest jnr.ww. When he fought victor ortiz he looked like he was 2 weight divisions lower, he is really small, he could probably fight at 135lbs easily.

On how the fight would go:

Khan would consistently land his jab on peterson because peterson carries his hands by his stomach, as seen in the ortiz and cayo fights. You can't do that against khan who is one of the fastest punchers today, he will hit peterson like he hit malinaggi. Peterson has a questionable chin, he was nearly stopped by ortiz in the first round and even a feather fisted puncher like Bradley dropped him. So I see peterson following khan around getting jabbed in the face taking hard, fast, crisp combinations, trying to get close to work on the inside, but khan holds and ref breaks up. I see this repeating over and over again where peterson is taking accumulative amount of punishment. Along the way peterson gets dropped a few times, where the referee eventually steps in on the 5th round to stop the fight. I can't see peterson gaining khans respect he doesn't have the physical presence or knockout power like maidana does. If you can't outbox khan you have to knock him out, unfortunately for peterson he doesn't have the power to do that. Also Khan seems to get better, bigger and stronger every fight.

Good fight, but in the length Khan beats him. Peterson is good but he's nothing special. Just another in a long line of boxers like Raheem, Ishe Smith, Danny Jacobs, Broner etc.

Its sad but Mayweather is actually the only AA boxer worth seeing today...Kendall Holt is exciting, but he's nowhere near that skill level. Same with Tavoris, good and exciting fighter but not quite star level boxer.

I differ with ya break down of this fight bro..Now I feel Khan would win(mainly because I respect his talent and growth as a fighter)but it would not be easy and Khan if not on his A game could lose...Peterson prefers to fight on the inside,but does not mean Peterson can not fight on the outside..Look at his fight with Ortiz he fought on the outside and used his piston like jab(which funny enough was the rave about Peterson on his come up)and he has a good one to score and trouble Ortiz when he tried to get inside..You say Khan has a size advantage but only in height..Look at Khans body compared to Peterson,Peterson looks more solid more strong..Dude you said Peterson is small like Cayo??Noway look at my avi or go back and look at the fight between the two again..It's clear to see Peterson was bigger and thicker then Cayo..Peterson's conditioning is out of this world dude trust he'd push Khan..

How the fight would go...

I see Khan starting fast(as always)pumping his jab and using movement..He wins the first 2 rds with these tactics..Peterson figures him out and get's the right timing..Uses his own jab to off set Khans and starts punching with Khan instead of just blocking Khans punches..Now Peterson is in Khans guard and working his mid section over..it's a close fight until the 10th win Khans conditioning kicks in and he get's his second win and starts getting on his bike pumping the jab and getting Peterson out of position every time he is ready to punch...I say the ending result is Khan by SD or UD(but if it's a UD the majority of fans won't agree)in a fight that Khan would deserve the nod but ya could see going either way..

Peterson is better and more of a challenge for Khan then Maidana,Peterson fights like a dog and is more versatile then Maidana is..He is not small so he won't be pushed around and he has a good jab and great timing..Nothing easy about this fight bro,trust it would be Khan's hardest fight to date...

Please look at 4:05 to about 5:02 dude is not breathing heavy at all..his conditioning is out of control..

When Cayo through those sloppy combinations, all Peterson did was cover up. Khan would do the same thing, only Khan would land more. Bradley hurt Peterson, Khan will hurt Peterson even more.

If peterson fights khan on the outside, he will lose badly, khan is a superior boxer. He gets of first everytime in an exchange and he will counter petersons jab with a left hook, like he did against judah. I have seen the cayo-peterson fight and honestly he is only a tiny bit bigger than cayo, but remember khan is one of the biggest lww out there. Peterson looks more ripped but so did zab judah, but when zab and khan were in the ring, khan looked like he was a Welterweight. Khan bullied zab judah onto the back foot and zab is bigger than peterson. So I see khan forcing peterson on the back foot, not respecting his power, hurting peterson with blistering combos. Eventually a time will come where petersons chin won't hold out any more and the ref stops it.

Peterson is NOT a bigger chalenge than Maidana, how is he? Maidana has a better chin, punches ALOT harder and is MUCH bigger. Sure peterson is a better boxer, but he can't outbox khan, so thats not really useful. There isn't a boxer in 140lbs that is a better boxer than khan, thats why I don't give bradley a chance either because he doesn't have Ko power.

You give Khan far to much credit dude,I know ya like him but be for real..Why does Maidana have a better chin??Neither have been KO'd,and both been put down on the mat before??

Judah bigger then Peterson??No he is not,Peterson is 5'9 and built..Judah is 5'7 and has a small frame..Peterson and Khan's frames are wide bro they are both pretty big dudes..

As far as Khan being the best boxer,I don't know about that..I think he is the best talent in the div..But ring I.Q. not so much,tbh I give an edge to both Bradley and Peterson in that category...We might have to agree to disagree here and hope that we see it one day..But when it does happen I be willing to bet Khan does not have an easy time with Peterson..I don't believe anybody in the div would have an easy time with Peterson...

[Devils Advocate]

I don't know I like Peterson to start,but when he fought Bradley it was a thing of beauty to watch him fight and show his heart and grit..Then the Ortiz fight the same thing..Dude is a pretty exciting fighter and always makes for a good fight because he knows how to adjust..

I also would favor Khan but it would not be easy,I would also bet a lil something on Peterson just because he is a live dog and most likely won't be viewed as one..

I think if Khan beat Peterson it would be a lil more impressive..Although Maidana has power his stamina is weak..He tires in fights he does not have a great conditioning..Peterson does..He will push those shakes to the limit..If no Khan fight please let Peterson vs the winner of Maidana RG fight each other...

Lamont Peterson v Maidana/Guerrero for the IBF once Khan drops it to move to welterweight makes the most sense but b/c it make sense it will never happen.

For those of you that haven't seen Peterson v Bradley its a good fight to watch.

Please look at 4:05 to about 5:02 dude is not breathing heavy at all..his conditioning is out of control..

I don't know how anybody thinks anybody has an easy time with this guy...
