Comments Thread For: Spence: Lamont Peterson Was the Welterweight Willing to Step Up!

[j.razor]

Love Spence's attitude seems a guy who'll fight anyone. This is a solid fight just a real shame that Spence will only fight once this year. I'd love to see him jump ship from Haymon/PBC and get an individual deal with a HBO/Sho/ESPN.

Errol is on the best team, what are you on? Why don't you ask uncle bob to mix his fighters up with the PBC Fighters? Cuz boby knows better than to mess with the wolves.

How is this his biggest test when he is coming off the Brook win?

Cuz Peterson is better than brook.

How quickly we forget Lamont's flop against Mattysse. I am sure Al Haymon gave Peterson an $$offer$$ he couldn't refuse so it's not like he's taking this fight for the challenge. Lamont goes down in 3.

I think Peterson was sleeping on Mattysse's punch. Doubt that would happen again if they rematched.

nice joke

This fight is set up to make errol look good that's it.

No not at all. Peterson can box & probably better than Errol....Though I have Errol winning this fight, too young, too big, too strong.

This should be a good fight, Lamont Peterson is a very durable guy who will push the bully back a few times, which is what you need to do to a guy like Spence. Lamont has a very good inside game and he can fight off the back foot, it'll be interesting and he'll give EJ new looks. Peterson has only looked really bad against Matthysse, who is easy to down play now after Danny Garcia took his heart, but that guy has/had crazy power. If Spence blows him out of the water in similar fashion, that'll be another huge statement from the Texas kid.

What about Bradley? He looked so bad there that I scored it a shut out for Timmy.

Lamont Peterson has fought:
Timothy Bradley, Victor Ortiz, Amir Khan, Kendall Holt, Lucas Matthysse, Danny Garcia & now Errol Spence Jr.

Now what names does brook have on his resume??

Exactly!

Spence Jr is truly a throwback to another era. Hes willing to seek out all possible opponents that will test him so that he can earn fans respect & become cash cow. Hes aware that thats how you build your name & status; by giving concessions to get certain fighters to come to the table & break bread,then once u beat enough known fighters, people will respect u & want to pay to see u fight.

Then you'll be able to get more big fights & even if u cherrypick a few fights here & there you'll still have a great resume & have respect in the bank,while others like ggg are still having to build their name & resume at older age when peeps get fed up w your career cherrypicking.

People that hate on Spence are no different than those that hate on cash cows like Canelo or even Fmj. Yet it's many Fmj fans that are also fans of Spence, but hate on Canelo,wonder why?

Canelo from a young age was following the same formula all the cash cows before him followed,so now hes the face of boxing & made more than 80+ million in 2017,he now has an amazing resume to show for his years of paying dues also.

FMJ followed the same formula(but lets just say way differently),& now Spence is the only Haymon fighter thats actually trying to take on the literal best challenge available(free agent)to him unlike the rest only chasing instant riches where if cashcows don't fight them,they only want bums in meantime.

Out of all those names who has be beaten? Holt and a gift in the Khan fight

Matter fact he was juiced up in the Khan fight. Brook's win over Porter is better than any win Lamont has. And I'm from DC and like Lamont but stop making him out to be something he isn't. Good fighter but he is not better than Brook
