    When you have 4 times your natural testosterone levels, a hometown ref and some dodgy judges you tend to win a few rounds.

    No real boxing fan counts that fight a win for Peterson.

        This was around the time both Michael Gomez and Willie Limond had Khan on his arse.

            No that was 5 years prior when Khan was 20, this was around the time that Peterson was caught taking exogenous anabolic steroids days out from a planned rematch and then admitted taking it for mths included prior to the first fight.

                Have you seen the fight? If you have then you know the answer.

                        He has. on many occassions previously. Apparently, Kessler was "outclassed" - Yet Khan-Barrera should have been a NC

                        Oh, double standards..

                            Who cares at this point? The fight was 5 years ago. Seriously, people will come up with anything to discredit Khan.

                                I was at the fight. Barrera was shot to shît, it was a cherry pick to shortcut Khan back on the public radar following his KO loss to Prescott. Khan was too big and too fast, the cut was irrelevant. Terrible fight.

                                    I agree, Barrera was well past his prime.
