Bullshit if you ask me, marketing ploy if anything.

Hope this isn't true but i bet its a ploy to sell more tickets and so on but if Peterson is that good Bradley is in for a bad night.

[Gandalf]

I like this saucy talk! It's anyones guess if it is true or not though.

I agree. At first I was thinking Bradley should have a relatively easy night with Peterson, but if this is true, then who knows...

To make it seem like Floyd is vulnerable?

[JazMerkin]

To be honest it comes down to who is the more reliable journalist Doug Fischer (who I personally can't stand) or Rick Reeno (who I quite enjoy)?

There's a reason that Fischer is a senior journalist at the Ring, whilst Reeno churns out rumour after rumour at BoxingScene. I mean ask yourself, which site do you go to for reliable news & insight, & which do you go to for the latest rumours in boxing (if not here)?

It's all a bit suspect, I mean their sources are Peterson's trainer/manager/some anonymous bloke. Lamont Peterson is referred to as a world champion for the love of God. I suspect this is a double-marketing ploy both for the PBF-JMM fight & to help sell Peterson as a viable opponent for Bradley.

There is nothing that Lamont Peterson has to give Mayweather troubles with, FLoyd is far faster and far more skilled with more power.

[Tysonbruno]

im thinking this is to drum up more interest because 2 of our British fighters have been over in Mayweathers camp James De gale and Steve Omeara and they were saying he was awesome in training and that no one in sparring could hit him and he was doing his long rounds then so perhaps this is bullshit.

[OumaFan]

Wasn't Roach going on about Mayweather not looking that great in sparring?

[ElTerribleMorales]

Roach is talking out of his ass, now any fighter who's not trained by him isn't too hot

[SweetPea]

Maybe Lamont Peterson can fight Paul Spadafora now to settle who's the best fighter in the world.

I disagree here, especially because Roach said "he heard" that Floyd wasn't looking that great, which implies that he,s not sure himself.

Back on topic, I could imagine the better guy simply having a bad day at the office but in the circumstances, it is very dubious. Matter of fact, before any important match, every 'shocking" rumors' are always dubious, it is simply trying to get into the other's head.

thing is this isn't the first time he mouths off about fighters who aren't his, IMO he's become a bit of a douche since Pacquiao's rise

Actually, most trainers are like that and are saying strange comments here and here, Manny Stewart had has his bad moments with Andy Lee and Jermaine Taylor as well, we'll not mention the Mayweather as it is too easy and I remember James McGirt saying weird things as well. I have nothing, personally, about boosting your fighters here and here but I am clenching teeth when the arguments are getting private and personals.
