    I've met Barry Hunter a couple times and one thing I can say is that he is a straight shooter. I'm sure DC amatuer boxing could confirm that. I'm not sure what that means, what "even" on the first day really means but if anyone is BSing I'm sure it's the king of bullshiters the Mayweathers.

    That doesn't mean Peterson would beat Floyd, but the Petersons, especially Lamont, are both very skilled fighters. Taeth you are at it again. What does Paul Spadafora have that Lamont Peterson doesn't? What did Victor Ortiz have for De La Hoya? God forbid the almighty Mayweather 2 years out of the ring might have an off day or 2 against a young, hungry and skilled fighter in his own right. Like blegit said, anyone can have an offday literally anyone. Floyd said himself that Anthony Thompson gave him the hardest time of all when they sparred. What does Anthony Thompson have that Lamont Peterson doesn't? That doesn't mean it actually did happen but it's possible.

    Peterson is P4P material.

    I don't see any speed in Peterson..... if it has truth to it, Mayweather is going to have a very tough time with Marquez.

    I'm at what again? Why are you pointing fingers at me when plenty of other people are saying the same thing? I am saying stylewise, and skillwise it doesn't make sense. Lamont Peterson is a good fighter who will be a very good fighter, but even on an off day Mayweather is Mayweather and I have hard time seeing Peterson pull it off. Then again Cintron according to his manager went many rounds with Bernard Hopkins to a standstill. The point is what goes on behind closed doors is all hearsay, and aside from that hearsay, logic says Mayweather is out of Peterson's league.

    True. We have 2 sides of the story. What it boils down to is who would you think would work over who in a sparring session? I'd wager my last dime on Mayweather working Peterson over. It makes way more sense than the other way around. But sometimes the sun shines on a dogs ass & maybe Peterson did get the better. It just doesn't sound that likely of a scenario.

    Peterson came in out of shape, used the bigger gloves, fought about 40 minutes with little to no rest AND worked over the best boxer in the world who is in great shape & has been training for a huge fight against the #2 p4p ranked fighter?

    Seems a little fishy to me. Alot fishy.
