Comments Thread For: Peterson on Khan II: I'll Show That I'm The Better Fighter

[Rome-By-Ko]

Floyd too physical? Khan is bigger than Floyd... and he's also still growing.. Floyd doesn't usually try to out physical his opponents unless they are already smaller than him or the same size, anybody bigger than him he usually just outboxes them, but I suspect Khan may be a little to fast for that, you guys have to take into account that Floyd is 35 now, that's far out from the prime age range, If he was still 28 Khan wouldn't have a chance but he's closer to 40 now... all the greats began to diminish at 35 from Jordan to Roy Jones..

Khan was manhadle by Peterson you don't think Floyd will manhadle him even worse???I really don't think Khan is that strong which is why he hasno inside game..I could see Floyds over hand right landing all day while pushing Khan off with the shoulder...Khan over commits to his punches,like he is running in..I can Floyd making him miss clincing and beating thehell out of Khan on the inside..Its pretty much what Peterson did,except Peterson is not anywhere near as talented as Floyd so he had to pressure Khan a lot more then Floyd would have to...I agree Floyd is getting up there,but I have not seen any sliping in his reflexes that makes me think Khan stands a chance...Floyd would really have to get old over night....

This time Khan will approach the fight with a different tactics. He will be the power puncher with bad intentions for each and every punch that he throws with a special focus on the body punches.

That's what's going on the training camp. I don't think Lamont will fancy that tactic as Peterson's success was when Khan was back pedaling.

Khan was winning the fight when he was marching forward or stood his ground in the middle of the ring, he should do the same in the May fight.

I think Khan will KO Lamont this time , don't be surprised if that happens.

You heard it from me first..

Don't be surprised if Khan gets KOd trying to apply that tactic,there was a reason Khan was on the backfoot bro...

[Rome-By-Ko]

No Rome you had it as a draw I remember you saying that. How you been man ain't crossed paths for a while

What's good Big Money,I've been good,just getting off work now..My gurl is going to make me miss Friday night fights tonight(she wants to go out)but I'm. Doing this tonight so I won't have to be bother tomorrow night for the mainevent...But all's well man,how bout ya self???

I did have it a draw on the watch back(which is when I made my scorecard thread)but on the night of the fight I had Peterson by a point...There was a rd in the watch back I gave to Khan,but the night of the fight I scored that rd for Peterson...But it was a close fight all together can't wait for the rematch...

you got a point but every fight has a tailor made tactic. The scenario you are referring to makes sense if you fight a power punching counter puncher, but Lamont is neither. He's a guy that applies pressure and punches in bunches and his shots were never close to get Khan out of there, it bothered Khan but if he stands his ground and makes Peterson pay instead , that's what the tactic will look like this time.

Im really lookin forward for this fight

Peterson won the first fight. All Khan did was run. *** that, this is BOXING.

Peterson wins a UD or a possible late stoppage next time. Khan sucks. Never understood why he has such a following.

[4Corners]

If Khan wants to make a statement, he has to beat Peterson convincingly. He can't struggle with him. And if he really wants to make a statement, he has to knock Peterson out. I can see Khan beating him handily in the rematch by decision, but I can't see him knocking Lamont out.

[WESS]

I say this because it sounds like from what I've been hearing out of Floyds mouth that he plans on fighting beyond 2012 which would mean beyond 35, the soonest a Khan / Floyd fight could happen would be 2013 so thats why I say at that point Khan would be more than capable of giving Floyd a run for his money...you just said you think Floyd will lose to a young more active guy, well that guy in all likelyhood is Khan, taller, bigger, younger, quicker, and stronger(2013)...Thats why I hope Floyd retires this yr after putting a few more touches on his HOF legacy because I don't want him to go out like that, I'd rather see him retire gracefully rather than see Khan running around acting like he beat a prime Floyd vs an old Floyd.. it's his choice though

But Like I said, nobody from 154 or below IMO beats him (younger or older). Khan is below that 154 mark, nobody has the skills/size to beat Floyd here. He needs to move up, which is where I see him losing before he retires.

once peterson put that pressure on khan again. he'll revert back to his amateurish ways. we will see the exact same fight. the difference will be that peterson won't be falling for khans antics. like yelling "hey" to the ref so lamont can leave himself wide open. khan used sissy moves throughout the entire fight

Khan is naturally bigger than Floyd and much quicker what are you talking about, weight class don't matter Floyd is just 150lbs.. like I said Floyd should just retire after 2 more fights his time has come..
