Lamont Peterson: "it would be ****** not to weigh my options"

[Evil Abed]

I would think following for Khan is much greater than Bradley. How would Peterson get similar payday?

I do think Peterson would lose against Bradley.

HBO paid Bradley and Alexander a bit over 1 mil.

Peterson got paid 650K for Khan.

Peterson as champ would get at least 1 mil now vs Bradley. IMO

That was mistake that they paid Bradley vs Alexander. HBO boxing is under new mgmt. Peterson would get much more fighting Khan. Khan has a much bigger following. BTW, I don't doubt he should get AT least a mil for fighting Bradley. BUt he could get much more with Khan. Khan has dedicated following in the UK and here. How many ppl showed up at Bradley vs Alexander? Pretty sad actually. But as to the gist of the article, I totally agree with Peterson and would definitely maximize $$$ just like Peterson and I would not go for immediate rematch with Khan. Lamont should get $$$ for his belt now. That was a gutsy performance.

i think rios beats him the same way he beat his brother.Just my opinion.
Would love to see him fight rios.

wrong.....lemont would box brandons ears clean off...........lemont isn't anthony. lemont actually fought on even terms with ortiz & khan & gave bradley some problems in some of those rounds.....you would have to be a moron to confuse lemont with anthony.......rios struggled for 7 rounds with john freaking muarry. lemont would blitz rios. wrong peterson.......rios fought no one close to lemont (or even fighters like khan, ortiz, & bradley) he's a overrated knock out waiting to happen....i can't wait for him to move up to 140 because the hype has gotten out of hand @ this point.

but i would also like to see a Anthony peterson vs rios rematch. i think anthony has a shot if he sticks to his boxing.............

Id love to see Lamont milk those titles. He should go after Erik Morales next.

Who you got in that?

This dude has no options because Amir is the only one who can give him a huge payday. He could fight Brandon Rios but he would get the crap beaten out of him. He won't be charging in like he did against Khan because Rios couldn't care less about getting hit lol.

He should weigh his limited options but the only fight that could generate a decent payday is the rematch.

he would fight rios & put the fat boy through a blender...........rios is slow. smaller, & kind of a dumb club fighter who only has 1 gear. lemont will mix it up on the inside & on the outside. lemont is a master boxer who throws a good jab. he brawled khan only because khan was so quick with his hands & feet. BTW LOL @ "rios won't care about getting hit" Hm yes he will. rios will be walking straight in & not throwing punches just like he did for most of that acosta fight........acosta wobbled & backed him up. antillon hurt him to the body & maurry hurt him..........all much smaller guys then lemont.


look at the fighters who lemont has fought........bradley, ortiz, khan. rios would get his a** r@ped by all 3 of these guys.........it's just that he's so overrated you can't see it before it actually happened.

Peterson v morales I'm excited

That 300k for Peterson

His attraction is being the underdog who wants to see him take easy fights? It's not like he's a ko artist

Khan makes him $2 mil + but only of it happens now

He waits and khan is gone and he's got Bradley another dud fight money wise

If khan loses again or beats a name at 147 Peterson fight is a bust

[jvsnypes]

I think he should fight Guerrero next and then Khan. If he can't get at least 2 mill to fight Khan, then I would look else where.

I like Lamont's humility. If I were him, I'll try to avenge the loss vs Bradley first, then Khan second.

[Dedication]

I would like to fight someone that isn’t going to run all night, so that I could show more of my skill, instead of always trying to chase someone down.
