Comments Thread For: Bradley: Peterson The Best at 140, Beats Matthysse

[LAFIRPO]

Why should Garcia be considered the best? He never beat the best. Peterson beat Khan when Khan was on top, and looked pretty damn good against Holt. The winner of a Matthysse-Peterson fight deserves to be called the best at 140 a hell of a lot more than Garcia.

The answer to your question is easy, Peterson won a very close decision against Khan. As a matter of fact, if Khan would've won the decision it wouldn't be very surprising. Garcia knocked Khan out cold. Which win was more decisive?

Who cares how decisive the win was? Garcia beat Khan coming off a loss. Khan wasn't the best fighter in the division anymore. There's no reason to consider Garcia the best fighter in the division because of the Khan fight. If you believe he's the best, that's fine, we'll hopefully see soon enough if he is. But he never earned the right to be called the best.

Yes, but again, could've the decision gone to Khan vs Peterson?

And also, you forgot that Peterson was caught doing roids. And that fight was almost declared a NO Decision. So, Peterson's win was tainted by the fact that he tested positive for a banned substance.

seriously lets cut through the hype.

Matthysse, his power is the real deal period but he isn't invincible. he's got slow hands and slow feet. he's decent with the skill set he has but power is his main tool. any boxer with movement, a good jab and a solid defense will give him problems.

Garcia has fasts hand and decent power. Garcia doesn't throw a jab, all he does is hook. he's open to big shots and who knows how his chin is because he hasn't fought any big hitters. Garcia has a lot of flaws but he keeps on winning so you got to give him that but as he faces better opponents his flaws will show

Peterson is a decent fighter. he's a warrior and fun to watch. at the end of the day Peterson is a pressure fighter who tries to break you down over the distance. he's not a huge puncher and he gets dropped.


Matthysse is probably the best at 140 right now. Danny Garcia is probably 2, Khan 3.

Rios and Alvarado should be mentioned by since they aren't with GBP we'll never know.

Peterson is probably 5th or 6th best.

Its possible.....

Would rather the answer be found out in the ring

Bradley doesn't know **** about boxing. NSB says otherwise.

LOL @ people criticizing Bradley for being a boxing fan and having an opinion they disagree with.

I like when fighters talk boxing matchups.

Me too.

Besides that, we're posting about him (Bradley, that is).

He's gotta' like that.

Forget about the stoppage, who do you think will win?

As of right now, I'm leaning towards Peterson..But this fight is close as hell tho..

That matters why?

Why not? IMO he's not making the "big impact" @WW.
A possible rematch with Pacquiao, Marquez is not likely to happen, Mayweather..well you got the TR issue. But, JWW is red hot right know.

It might be a good idea moving down just for a while and look for big fights.

ANd he won't be able to fight any of them as far as I'm aware because he's contracted with Top Rank.
