shrug. . . i didn't see the fight, but i haev sparred before and i know how hard it is to "do something" that you know you have to do. . .

i just know you can't armchair a fight. . . im sure if he could ahve done something, he would have. . . you know how exhausting it is just to fight one round? shyt, even just hitting the damn heavy bag for a round. .

Yes, I do. I fought as an amateur for a long time, so I know what you can do and what you can't in actual boxing fights. Sparring is easy, fights are different but again, that's what your corner is for. They tell you stuff that you are missing because it's very easy to miss things in the heat of battle when you might not be thinking clearly.

He wasn't thinking clearly and missing the biggest reason he was winning. He did the very typical, classic boxing mistake. He stopped punching because he was landing easily thinking that he would finish it with one shot when it was combinations and good counter punching that got him into that position. It's probably the most common losing mistake for punchers.

Watch the fight and then talk to me about it. You'll understand what I mean when you see it. It wasn't as you're describing it at all though I do know what you mean and agree. Just not in this case.

Peterson is no slouch man....if Khan is sleeping on this dude, he might lose.

True, but that's the only way Khan will lose.

Yeah, it goes from journeymen level to top championship level without anyone really in between to bridge the gap. That's the biggest problem with this era. There are two brilliant top heavyweight champions and then nothing in between. Haye was a good in between fighter but he lost his one big fight and then retired.

Mitchell might end up a decent fighter but he won't beat either of the Klitschko bros at all, unless he fights them when they're ancient. That goes for all the rest too. There just aren't any good contenders that could become great champs. Mitchell is now a top ten HW contender and to me, in reality, he looks like an old, crappy club fighting gym guy, not a top world rated HW prospect. It is what it is though and maybe he can do something today.

Good win whatever else happens.

i'd say it goes from journeyman, to B - guys like arreola, thompson, fury, helenius, chisora and then B+ level fighters like adamek, povetkin, chagaev, chambers. .. fury, chisora, and helenius might be B+ guys if they prove their mettle over a few more fights. . . but there is even a WIDER GAP between these B level guys and the Klitschko. . .

david haye is shyt. . he gets beat by most of those guys i named

[mathed]

that was a slip and a push
