Has anyone heard of Anthony Peterson ?

[DC Amateur Boxing]

A freind believes he is a promising lightweight and thinks he will get a title shot in time. Has anyone heard of him ? I've never seen him fight. Will he get a title shot or is he just a mediocre fighter ?

Has anyone ever heard of Andre Berto? A friend of mine told me he is a boxer that is really quick?

To be fair this forum isn't meant to be a pissing contest about who has the wider fighting knowledge.

We should welcome all comers no matter what level of knowledge they have. I guess few outside the hardcore fans will have heard of either Peterson brother, or maybe even Berto for that matter so we shouldn't feel the need to boast about our superior awareness of fighters.

Well said. Take me for instance. . .I love boxing, but I have too much other crap in my head and not enough time to really study the sport like I would. That's why I love the 'net and forums like Saddo. I don't have to know anything (and believe me I really don't when it comes to boxing) - I can just ask or look it up.
