Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson - Saturday - fight/chat thread

[tysonesque]

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.
