    Don't care what Khan or Roach say... he must've run a mile in that ring Saturday

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.
      It does not matter about Bradley or Peterson's following..It's about contracts,I have to continue to say this..KHAN IS NOT A DRAW IN THE STATES,so can we stop acting as if he is..9000 in DC who were all there for Peterson,that was not Khan who had them pouring in the like that..Peterson makes a mill his next fight to fight Bradley if that is Peterson's choice,and maybe a good deal(2 fights or so)with HBO..Peterson is in the drivers seat believe that..He get's a nice mill to fight Khan or Bradley believe that..

      If I was Peterson I would fight a throw away fight then Khan,time to get paid..

        Great interview. Peterson deserves a chance to weigh his options. And of course I love his comment about Bradley being obviously better than Khan, because it's true.

          lamont is very articulate and speaks the truth. you can't help but learn from his words. that's respect. most people will bitch, whine, brag or follow a script to look humble.

              Khan rematch would be nice but i wanna see something new,morales is booked,id like to see him fight Joan Guzman who i believe is his mandatory,or a fight with Bradley and you can bet hes gotten offers from both parties.

                I was impressed with his adjustments.

                Peterson is much better at making adjustments than Amir Khan.

                  Peterson is in the midst of his Nate Campbell moment.

                    He can work on cutting the ring off instead of just following Khan.
