How good is Lamont Peterson.... really?

[DoktorSleepless]

Even thought I thought Ortiz won the fight, Peterson came back strong in the second half and made Ortiz look like a *****. Peterson got knocked down twice, and it was Peterson who was chasing around Ortiz.

How good is Lucas Matthysse.... really?

Fixed title for you

[ßringer]

Good enough to be considered a dead split in a fight with Matthysse. That fight was 50/50 on fight night, it's only now that people are attempting to pretend that Peterson is/was a nobody who was there to be beaten.

What the hell is wrong with people on this site???Peterson gets KO'd and now he's not a good fighter? Isn't this boxing where the unexpected can always happen? Lamont has an excellent resume. Win, lose, or draw, this kid can fight. Good fighters throughout the history of the sport have been KO'd or dropped. What kind of boxing fans are you people??? When fighters fight on a world class level, anything can happen. A very good fighter in Matthyyse KO'd a very good fighter in Peterson. Its that simple. Zab Judah, another good fighter, told the world how good Lucas is a long time ago. I hate when these ignorant people criticize these hard working fighters. All fighters are not elite or on a Mayweather/Ward level. That doesn't mean they are not good fighters. Lamont Peterson is a beast in the ring. Go ask Khan, Ortiz, Bradley and any guy he's been in the ring with. He was KO'd by another very good fighter. How does that discredit him???

The point isn't that he got Ko'd and is no longer a good fighter.... it's that was he ever really any good???

His best victory was against Khan, and now we know he juiced during that period....

Have you ever seen Peterson fight? Does he look like a bum to you??? There, you have your answer.

No longer a good fighter? He hasnt even had a comeback fight to judge him. So what type of moronic logic is that?

Lamont Peterson overall is a good solid fighter

[Mr Ehrmantraut]

He is a complete scrub.

Probably journeyman level without his performance enhancing drugs.

Lamont Peterson is an excellent fighter. His positive drug testing left a mark, but other than that you cant take away much from the guy, and this was only his second loss. Matthysse happens to be, by a broad margin, the #1 in the 140.
