Not really, what's "suspicious" about it?
It's just weird that they've been destroying everyone in there way and had the same trainer and just about everything they do is the same in training and nutritioning. But in there last fight they both didn't look any where as good as theyve been.
Then there's the fight for mayweather next year that I'm sure they both want and is of course going to require blood testing and theres the accusation of illegal supplements. It just makes me think to be honest with you.
I don't know about Khan, but if Pacquiao is juicing he must have some almost fool proof method for not getting caught. I believe you're reading way too much into this. :)
Lol This fights been bugging me for years but ya I might be reading to much into it. but
I'm just pointing it out because I know it could be a rumor to begin then I could say "I KNEW IT!!" kinda like when people predict fights, get it right then think there HOT SHIT lol
You've gotta be careful around here, you mention Pacquiao and 'roids and Pac haters will spawn 20 threads about it. :-X
Re: Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread
Khan is just another Prince Naseem Hamed; carefully managed to make him look a whole lot better than he actually is.
Just like Naseem, all the big names on his record were past it when he fought them or perfectly suited to his style and the moment he went in against a truly top class fighter with a real desire to win he was found out.
Sure, the ref on Saturday was biased, but Khan got it all wrong and Peterson fought like a man who really wanted those belts. All too often you see title challengers try and play it too safe, but Peterson gave it absolutely everything he had and it was great to see. He deserved his win.
Khan is not a great fighter, but he has been in some great fights and that will always make him worth watching. I'd love to see a rematch between these two and I wouldn't like to predict which way it would go at all.
Any talk of Khan beating Pacman or Mayweather is ridiculous. Both of them would beat him, but they are fights that need to happen.

He refused to call a break, what else was Khan supposed to do?
I see your point. It is just the way it is. The ref dissliked all the pushing and did not care about peterson putting his head in. If you lean and push into someone you have to expect to be pushed off. I enjoyed the fight but Khan was too negative. I had the score pretty much as the judges had it. I dont think any points should have been taken and I dont think the first knock down should have been counted. Which would have made the fight a draw.
I think the next time they fight it should be in vegas and have a different ref. So they can just get on with the fight and we dont get any bullsh#t.
Good fight needs to happen again. Will be interesting to see how each fighters game plan changes.
