very intersting indeed as whether the WBA say yes or no its wide open to what each fighter does next....
IF the WBA say no to the rematch the you will probably see peterson take on pacquaio or more likely bradley.....khan will probably move up in weight
IF the WBA say yes to the rematch then peterson might still say no...so wo does amir fight for the belt....well by all rights it has to be the regular champion...maidana....that means khan moving up to 147lbs then as he has no interest in fighting maidana again.....peterson will probably still fight pacquaio or bradley
That's quite interesting. After the fight Peterson was up for a rematch saying Khan gave him an opportunity and he would do the same back. I think he's changed his mind because of a fight with Pacquiao. If the rematch doesn't happen then Khan definitely moves to 147 in hopes of chasing a fight with Floyd. I think Khan would lose to Ortiz, Berto and Brook at 147 but knowing boxing he won't fight them and will still get a fight with Floyd.
What do you mean knowing Khan he wont fight them. He has taken on Maidana and called out everyone under the sun. You should be complaining about Peterson not wanting to have a rematch with a guy he had a stupidly close fight with in his own town.
That fight needs a rematch. If Peterson does not take this fight and in stead fights a nobody then he is going to look like a coward. If it was the other way round Khan would be put down by everyone for not giving a rematch. You would never hear the end of it.
There's a difference between calling them out and then actually fighting them. The reason I said knowing Khan he wont fight them is because the man has made it quite clear him self that he's more willing to fight guys on their way down. Like he said after the Barerra fight that you have to catch the legends on their way down and beat them. About Floyd he's been saying I want to fight him after his sentence because he will be weaker and more beatable. These are Khans own words. Freddie Roach is smart he knows who Khan can beat and who he can't so he's been carefully matched and there's no way they take a 2nd fight with Maidana or fight prime live fighters like Ortiz, Berto and the rest.
