Comments Thread For: Khan Rejects Peterson's Apology: My Life Was at Risk!

[Shogun99]

Khan cannot fight on the inside but he still wins the first fight anywhere in the world outside DC. Pederson would not have been able to trap Khan on the inside as often as he did without his testosterone boost which allowed him to weigh 155 lbs on fight night despite 147 being his fight night weight for his previous fights. Face it Lamont had every possible advantage that night and most impartial observers still had him losing. Forcing Khan to fight on the inside will be a difficult task for any future Khan opponent and that includes a clean Peterson should Khan give him a rematch.
yes Khans inside game sux but you will have to go through hell to exploit that without PEDS, a hometown ref, and Petersons reach

This^^^^^^

He sounds like a complete clown.

Dude, are you kidding? Testosterone helps to build muscle which in turn may increase speed, power or both. Testosterone does not increase your ability to take a punch! Bottomline is Khan does not have as much power as he would like to think and then guy simply could take whatever he dished.

[WARQUEZ]

If I was in his position, and the guy not only attempted to cheat in this fight but admitted to cheating in the last fight I would feel the same way.

I do feel sorry for Khan but its not like Peterson took his unbeaten record from him (cotto vs mag 1) Peterson should have not done what he did and is a cheat but getting hit with plastic is worse........ Cotto never moaned as much but he didnt have actual hard evidence 2 prove it. for me his face after the fight was enough tho!

Overall speed, having the better conditioning, more power. More than anything Khan's defensive holes are still there, his inability to fight in close and he still hasn't fixed some bad habits, e.g backing up straight and squaring up too much, which leaves him open for the overhand right, rarely does he ever get under punches. If Khan is as good as he was being hyped to be, he should have still been able to deal with Peterson.

Spot on, Dom. And honestly, I don't see those things changing.

I don't like Khan & 95% of what he says but here I agree...Peterson knew what he was doing & there's no apology that rights his CHEATING...he should b suspended 4 LIFE, as any boxer that does it ...

[Ray*]

I dont think he should be suspended for life, I think he deserves a ban for sure and i dont believe his story of not remembering but Khan is milking it though, but i dont blame him, its easy to sit on the outside and critise someone that gets in the ring with a cheater who was juicing himself up in training.

[FlatLine]

I fully support Khans view on this.

Me too. Being a fighter your life is at risk anyway but Khan's life was technically more at risk by Peterson using the testosterone, than without it.

[Thickback]

Its funny how all of a sudden Peterson fought like a drone and hit harder than anyone he ever fought. Petersdon has recovered in numerous fights and news flash to Khan, you don't have one punch KO power....

BUT, the fact that Peterson was caught dirty gives Khan the green light to sound off. Peterson really dissapointed me here. I was looking forward to this fight. I just wish Khan didn't come off like a **** victim all the time. He'd have a lot more fans if he didn't....

[TyrantT316]

Khan is justified in this, but the way he's always talked makes his milking of this that much more annoying.

Peterson and those involved should be ashamed really.
