Maidana or Peterson which would you rather see Khan fight??

[bojangles1987]

There is zero reason to have a rematch with Maidana. Peterson offers an interesting style and a chance to one-up Bradley.

[Rome-By-Ko]

I have. I've watched most fights involving the top 10-15 guys in the 140lb division. He's good on the inside, but he can't impose his gameplan too well on his opponents. Which is why hes come up short in his 2 big fights.

And he's not that physically strong on the inside either. Quick example, it took him 12 rounds to wear Cayo down. Maidana stopped Cayo with ONE body shot.



LOL just LOL. Bradley would be a tough fight, Maidana too depending on how often he can find Khan. There's nothing about peterson that screams tough fight - do you think he can outjab Khan? And he won't be able to get on the inside the way you seem to think. He's not physical enough to do that. You're just looking for an excuse to criticise Khan.

You forgetting he just beat Judah? There were a lot of people here *cough* who though it was an even fight and Judah would be very dangerous with his left uppercut or even outslick Khan

But after Bradley backs out , and Khan dominates and slaps the shit out of Judah before stopping him on a body shot Peterson becomes the new big bad guy. Come on bro

I never said Judah would be some kinda tough fight for Khan,I did give him a punchers chance tho(more so not to take anything away from him winning that fight)..I don't want to take away from Khans win over Judah it was a good impressive win for him..But what does that have to do with him fighting Peterson??What does that have to do with Khan saying he wants to defeat Peterson better then Bradley did??Let's see it,Peterson is his Mando now here's his chance..Funny how now that Petersons back at the door all Khan fans say he will beat him easy..That did not stop him from fighting Paulie M Mcflurry Salita,everyone knew those fights would not be competitive but they happen...Why the big problem with this one???

How do you see Khan-Matthysse playing out, Dom?

Now that's a more interesting fight because Matthysse throws with his opponents and he throws his punches straight, better coordinated than Maidana. Matthysse's issue is that he sometimes fights at a slow pace and he'll take some rounds off. While he clearly beat Alexander, he could have won that fight much more convincingly.

I'd go with Khan by U.D, but he could have some serious serious bumps, Matthysse has a very good chin too.

Good points as always man. I also favor Amir but Matthysse's straight punches and pressure could give Amir problems. Matthysse is also alot better than Maidana at cutting the ring off. And his chin is very good. He took a flush Zab uppercut on the chin and didn't even wobble.

[Rome-By-Ko]

He does, but he doesn't have the right mentality. Cotto handled Margarito well early, but because of Margarito's determination, demeanor, he got Miguel out of there, no different from Maidana. Maidana also has fight changing power, where as Peterson doesn't.

You honestly think Peterson will land enough to accumulate damage on Khan? Enough damage to put him IN the fight...

Don't think so man.

I truly do see him landing on Khan and making a fight out of it..Petersons reach and good Jab being key reasons why..I think Petersons biggest problems is that he starts a bit slow at times,but because Khan style is so offenssive Peterson would pick it up eaarly imo...

[chiguy91]

a second maidana would be good, maidana seems like he'd try harder a second time around. i'm not sure about peterson, i think khan would be able to pick him apart, but who knows. it's better than fighting morales, that's for sure.

Matts is good but I totally agree is not active enough to beat Khan...

Yeah, Bradley also said he wanted to fight Khan... Things change

Getting back to the point. So you think because Khan flought McCloskey and it wasn't supposed to be competitive... that justifies fighting Peterson? What sort of logic is that?

That's like saying Pacquiao fought Mosley who is shot, so he should also fight other guys who are shot. No logic

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Jeez this guy is stil **** riding Petersen? Zzzzzz

I think you missed the point,the point is you and many others are giving Peterson no chance against Khan(which is absurd)when many of the same posters did not have a problem with him fighting Mcflurry Paulie M and Salita..Why the big problem with Peterson??
