Lamont Peterson Eyes Danny Garcia Unification at 140 - Boxing News
Printable View
Peterson isn't even a real champion , he is a joke.
And I want to have sex with Kelly Brooks but does not mean it will happen.
Unification? Didn't Matthysse leave him drooling on the canvas just a fight ago? Good luck with that, Lamont, you roiding sonofabitch.
Lucky for him that was 1lb over the weight so it did not count.Quote:

Agree. Id expect Garcia to stop him but if he cant I would not be surprised to see Peterson outpoint himQuote:

Believe me Peterson wants no part of Garcia.
Garcia does not want Peterson, he has just beaten the man that knocked him out, Garcia is getting criticism for fighting his next scheduled opponent. He would face further criticism for taking on Peterson.Quote:

This stuff never stops amazing me. Garcia would be criticized for fighting a title holder but GGG is commended for fighting never weres. It bottles the mind.
(BTW it's not that I disagree with you Master, I'm just speaking on the absurd double standard)
Garcia is in a deep division with guys like Provodnikov, Demarco, Soto, Lundy, Alvarado, and rematches with Matthysse and Khan, and plenty of guys at WelterQuote:

Peterson would be a decent opponent but well Garcia is expected to do more since beating Lucas and has the opposition to be able to do so, that's where the double standard starts
So Garcia should fight worse fighters because they're there? The more I listen the more confused I become. Forget the good fighter that would be a unification fight because there's guys that are unproven. WowQuote:

Some of those fighters are not worse, Peterson is not worthy just because he holds an alphabet strap does not mean people forgetting he got knocked out.Quote:

What more do you want GGG to do?
Okay, of that list he just made who would you pick against Peterson? And who is more proven than Peterson at 140? If you find 2 guys that meet both those criteria the conversation is over because people are just making stuff up.
I don't care about his alphabet title but 20 years from now nobody will care about Garcia beating Demarco or Soto or or or but unifying 3 titles will be mentioned on his bio
how are Provodnikov, Alvarado, or Matthysse worse than Peterson? Peterson got a gift draw against Ortiz and a win against Khan where he tested positive for banned substances right after, then was KTFO by Lucas, so don't see how he should be the front runner by any meansQuote:

Obviously Provo and Matthyse are better opponents than Peterson right now, but Garcia could do a lot worse than Peterson and probably will by the sounds of it. If Peterson has actually asked for this fight I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it, certainly makes sense in the meantime. However unworthy, Peterson does still have the IBF strap, it's a good thing if he's interested in fighting the other champs
Asking for a "unification" speaks to the emptiness of trinkets coming from a guy who agreed to a 'gimmick clause' so he could keep his belt in the likelihood he would be sparked out. Peterson wants to relevant again, that's what he wants. Garcia doesn't gain anything with a Peterson after his win over Matthysse, that was the whole point.
Im not going to judge Peterson too much off the Lucas fight.. Danny has a different style and I believe Peterson matches up better with him..
Peterson can beat Garcia..
Who would suggest this is a bad fight? In my opinion, it's the opposite. It's a great fight and the most competitive fight out there for Garcia. I somewhat doubt he would take the risk before moving up to 147. I bet he takes a "gimme" fight. Is Peterson advised by Haymon?
Unifying his title with a real title is an interesting idea.
