Thread: Anthony Peterson-prospect, contender, or champion?

I have been watching this guy for a few years, and imo he was ready for a title shot long before his brother Lamont. Now that he is in 'stay busy' mode, I wanted to get your opinions of him in relation to the new LW landscape.

I'm a fan but he needs to fight Diaz or something he needs a top 10 at 135 before he fights a champion.

IMO he's taking way too long to step up. 5 and a half year pro, with loads of talent, but still fighting guys to make him look good. One of these days he needs an actual challenge.

I heard one of the Peterson's might be scheduled to fight Edwin Valero soon, because apparently Arum wants to move Valero into position to take on Pacquiao.


I like the Peterson's they are humble, they are classy fighters, but that being said they don't have the "flashy" side to them so I can see why the road to the top has been a bit longer for both of them. I hope Anthony gets at least one top teir fight before having a crack at a title like Majesty said.

I've liked him, both of them really, for a long time but wake me up when he fights somebody, its just getting absurd now. He might retire undefeated and not because he's an all time great fighter.

Sadly, I agree. It's fine time for him to fight a top contender.

I always thought Lamont was da beta fighta
Id like 2 see Anthony testd soon
It seemd like hed b more popular early because of da kos
But hes become stagnate

Looks like he's been listening 2 us
Seems hes fighting Soto in June
Quality fight
