Comments Thread For: Roach Prefers Lamont Peterson For Pacquiao's Next Bout

[GRUSTLER]

So Lamont Peterson a 140 fighter instead of the Berto/Ortiz winner at 147? Or even JMM, a fighter Pac still can't convincingly beat after 3 fights? Cherry pickers to the fullest. Pac got the Kevin Costner body guard protection in the sport. PROTECT YA FIGHTER AT ALL TIMES.

Trainer Freddie Roach is possibly looking for a taste of revenge. The hall of fame coach would like to see WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38KOs) defend his title against IBF/WBA 140-pound king Lamont Peterson (30-1, 15KOs). Pacquiao is going to return in May or June of 2012. With Floyd Mayweather Jr. recently getting hit with a 90-day prison sentence for a domestic abuse charge, a number of boxers have been named as possible opponents for Pacquiao's first fight of the new year.

Roach knows Khan has no chance in a rematch with Peterson.What a cu*nt Roach is,get the Bradley fight

[GRUSTLER]

"P4P" Floyd fought Ortiz, who happened to draw with L. Peterson.... Why not?

Because after the draw with Lamont, Victor Ortiz moved up and beat an actual WW champion before Floyd fought him. Regardless of how inexperienced or regarded Ortiz was at the time. He atleast proved himself at the weight. This will be the 2nd fighter Pac made move up to fight him from a division he can clearly make the weight for. Face it fam. Roach and team are cherry pickers but I think it is actually hurting Pac more than helping him. JMM proved that.

I don't expect the fight to happen because Peterson is a winner and he is not the type of guy to complain, quit or give up. Dude is going to fight like his life depended on it against Pac and if Amir Khan wasn't fouling Lamont Peterson so much then the fight would have been much easier for him. Don't sleep on Lamont but also shouldn't sleep on the fact that Roach and them are clearly trying to pick a fight that they feel Pac can win but Peterson is the kind of fighter that can make it blow up in their face.

[GRUSTLER]

No he is not, Bradley is, and Peterson will likely lose to Khan in a rematch.I would love to see Peterson vs Maidana or even Matthyse.

As an opponent for Manny/Floyd, you simply cannot compare the 3rd best welter on the planet with a guy who is likely the 3rd/4th best at 140.

How the *** is Peterson "worthy", and yet Ortiz was "not worthy"?

Don't see that happening.

Ortiz drew with Peterson at Jnr Welterweight where Ortiz was struggling to make weight, but thats not the issue, this is in no way a disrespect on Peterson, i think he is a very good fighter, but i feel he is tailor made for Pac plus he has to come up a weight and im sure Roach knows that, in your opinion do u honestly not think there are better options in the WW division? hell if he's gonna fight a JWW why not Bradly? i think its an easy payday for Pac and there has been too many of them imo

Peterson weighs 155 lbs. on fight night against Khan while Pac's highest weight at WW was 148 lbs. You have to remember that Pac is just actually a lightweight playing with the big boys of the WW division.

Yes Roach and Pac are indeed cherry pickers, with Pac who is just actually a lightweight cherry picking and playing with the big boys of the WW division who outweighs Pac by some 12 to 15 lbs on fight night. Grus you are a very knowledgeable boxing fan and please dont tell us that the weight difference doesn't matter because all the WW fighters Pac fought are slow and all plodders. There must be a reason why weight divisions exist right?

Roach seems to be a hard loser...

It's seems to be that roach only wants to revenge the loss of khan,peterson is not seems to be a big challenge to Manny, why don't he pick Sergio Mertinez, Marquez or even the winner of Berto vs Ortiz....

Lamont is to hungry for over the hill pakman.

Lets be honest, I give it 4 rounds before his legs start cramping
