I don't know anyone that thinks Peterson is on that level. Maybe if Khan was struggling with Bradley, I'd feel differently.
    you don't have much appreciation for Lamont Peterson do you?



    me and my Father picked Lamont to beat Amir, we bet 50$ straight and won back 387.50$ plus the 50$ back. to this day I'm still betting that money, 21$ here 21$ there. Lamont put me in the game yo it pays to know who's who, just because damn near everyone was on Khan's nuts it didn't mean Lamont would be a sure win.

    this time I will be picking Lamont by Decision and another bet with Lamont Straight (might even throw 21$ in a Draw). I did that with Dan Henderson VS Fedor Emilianenko, I bet on a straight up win and a win by KO/TKO and won both bets, made 200$+ in that fight betting far less than 100$

      No one has any appreciation for Peterson. I don't understand why everyone is acting like he's a bum or that him giving Khan problems was a fluke. He's a good fighter, maybe very good.

        Khan is good fighter, however extremely overrated. Chavez just may be Freddy's best fight right now.

          I agree,Peterson is a good enough fighter to give anyone problems imo..

            ATM Bradley>Peterson>Khan..... Been saying this since I first started posting on the subject......

            IF Khan beats Peterson he gets all props from me...... I even gave em props for just taking the fight when he surely could have found a soft touch

              it's been very obvious from early that khan is an irremediably flawed fighter. he has superb, one-in-a-million athleticism, but his skills and instincts are seriously lacking in comparison. that athleticism is what tricked a lot of people into believing he was destined for pound-for-pound glory, and it did indeed enable him to rise to a certain level without his sketchy boxing ability being an issue -- but, as we've seen, it can only carry him so far. i make peterson the favourite for the rematch because he's the more adaptable fighter.

                Khan has no inside game and Peterson exploited it.

                    I expect Khan to win because there is so much room for improvement - so much - whereas it'll be hard for Peterson to top that performance. That said, the reason why their is so much room for improvement for Khan is because he's just not that good. At all.

                      Good point. Peterson did very good work there...Amir just pushed off.
