Lamont Peterson got the better of Floyd in Sparring Session...

[ono]

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

This was my initial thought aswell. It means very little.

Who knows what happened but I don't think this was some overall plan by Peterson's team to get his name out, seems like they wouldn't have said anything on their own to begin with but it got out to Doug Fischer from someone else and they either disagreed with the report or didn't want their guy to look bad.

I doubt he got punished or anything, he's a defensively responsible fighter. Its of course possible that he wasn't ready to do more than 8 four minute rounds.

If they gave out belts for sparring champions then this would probably mean something. Besides floyd is crap so what does beating him prove ??

I don't put to much into it.Just talking it up with Mayweather/JMM and Peterson/Bradley coming our way.The Peterson's seem to have been in permanent career idle mode forever....bop-bop-bop.

especially with 15 to 30 seconds break thats pretty rough, the big reason I think Mayweather wouldn't lose against Lamont is or are in this case.
1) Mayweather is near to or at fighting shape right now, whereas Lamont isn't.
2) Mayweather with the better stamina not to mention the fact he should be sharper would progressively do better and better as the fight went on.
3) Mayweather is the better fighter, and I can't see him having an off day this close to the fight, his body should be ready for any challenge right now.

I agree...this sounds to me like the infamous "Lebron got dunked on" video. I think there is a bit of truth to this though. The trainers are looking at different things, Floyd's trainer(s) is/are wanting to make sure he's blocking properly, moving well, and Lamont's trainer is making sure he lands punches and applies pressure...this could be just a case of different points of view.

I think Marquez will give Floyd a hard time, he's rarely if ever been totally outclassed.
