How does the 140 fights play out?

[Doctor_Tenma]

Peterson has known stamina issues though, which might be attributed to Hunter's over training which I've heard, or having to make 140, it wasn't noted in his last fight because that didn't go the full 12, neither was he touched to the body, that's a serious issue that definitely needs to be looked at as well. Which is another reason why I lean towards Rios, but no point in bringing that up as it's the same TR-GBP bullshit.

For me, it's because his strengths match up well with what would work against the other top fighters. Peterson is a very hard fighter to beat inside, and Matthysse, Garcia, and Rios are all guys who look to stand and fight, which Peterson does very well.

If Matthysse didn't hit as hard as he does, I'd pick Peterson over them all.

Well I've never seen Rios bested on the inside, I'd pick him over Peterson for one.. Garcia is a tough fight to call, Broner though should beat Peterson with his all around skills and the Matthysse fight would be great too.

I guess if I was to rank I would have it.. Broner, Matthysse, Rios, Garcia, Khan, Peterson.

The division is great though because none of these guys are A class talent (besides maybe Broner) and all have different strengths which would work in different match ups as you said.

Khan loses by KO in every match-up.

now that he has a new trainer I don't think we can write him off soeasily. If Hunter can get khan to protect his chin the way stewrad got wlad to, Khan could be a real force at 140/147.

He will never restrict himself to two/ at most three punch combinations, which is the main issue.

Matthysse and Peterson can beat anybody on that list. Garcias capable of beating everybody but I wouldnt bet money on him beating Matthy and Pete. I cant see Broner beating the top 2 either at this point in his carreer. Rios gets slayed by everybody on that list.

This is probably the best way to put it but i think Rios could beat Khan

[Ringlife]

Well, I would have to say Garcia gets past Zab. Amir Khan beats Lopez if they make that fight in UK. Matthysse beats Peterson by decision. Rios beats Alvarado again by KO plus TR+GBP=no fight. So who cares what Rios and Alvarado do tbh.

Khan vs Garcia rematch in October. I would say Garcia wins by decision. Garcia vs Matthysse fight happens to end the year. I got Matthysse losing by a counter left hook by Garcia. Lucas will be to aggressive in that fight and get caught cold in that fight. Khan vs Peterson rematch Khan winning that fight by decision.

Matthysse beats them all

Matthysse vs Rios/Khan/Garcia/Peterson/Broner
Matthyse beats Rios in a bruising encounter
Matthyse stops Khan in the middle rounds
Garcia has a chance at beating Matthyse over the distance
Matthyse stops Peterson inside 10
Broner edges a close points decision


Rios vs Khan/Garcia/Peterson/Broner
Rios is relentless, bad match up, Khan gets battered
Garcia can outpoint him but again, Rios seems unstoppable, he could test
Garcia's chin
Peterson gets beat up!
50/50 with Broner, the skills are with Broner but Rios has the power and a granite chin

Khan vs Garcia 2/Peterson 2/Broner
If the Khan who made the same mistakes against Molina turns up for the rematch, he gets stopped again.
Khan outpoints Peterson
This is a tough call, Khan is 3 inches taller with a longer reach. He has fater hands too and Broner is no Floyd, he doesn't move around the ring as well. He will get tagged but what happens if and when Broner tags Khan?

Garcia vs Peterson/Broner
Garcia outpoints Peterson
Broner outpoints Garcia

Peterson vs Broner
Broner

well you have garcia vs judah happening in april, word has it that mathysse vs peterson will have happen on may 18th,winner from those two fights end up fighting sept. rios alvarado could end up in a trilogy or face pacman or marquez by the end of the year. khan already moving up ,facing diaz at 143,then he could end up facing victor ortiz in december ...my crystal ball predictions :-P

If Matthysse didn't hit as hard as he does, I'd pick Peterson over them all.

It's not only that he hits so hard, he also has the best body punching in boxing, and has a granite chin.

That combination is a problem for anyone.

So basically, he's coming after you regardless because of that chin. That's truly what makes him so successful.
