Lamont should to say NO rematch

Bradley got his belt from Witter, then beats Holt, then beats Campbell, then beats #2 or #3 at the time titlist in Alexander, not to mention Peterson as well..

Khan beats Maidana good fight, Kotelnik, good fight. Malinaggi isn't a highly rated 140 fighter, never beat a top teir fighter. Judah was past his prime and is no more a "great" win than Campbell.

Bradley clearly has the better resume and the most experience. No way was Khan ever ranked over him and there is no way a man he beat clearly, Peterson, is ranked higher than him.

 

Why should he get a percentage of Khan's future earnings? Genuine question. I understand this happens in boxing but is it widespread? Did Khan have rights on Peterson?

Also those splits don't seem fair to me. It should be 50/50 full stop. The fight was even. Khan is the name with a brand already built in both countries, Lamont isn't.

 

Why should he get a percentage? Why not, he is giving Khan a rematch why shouldn't he get it? Especially when you factor in that the promotor, who obviously hates you, might stack the officiating in the money man's favor next time around.

Khan wants the rematch, so that is Peterson's leverage. Same with Joe Louis and the Cinderella man.

 

Witter & Judah are similar wins. Both quality opponents on the wane.

Campbell and Malignaggi are similar, I'm being generous to Bradley here given that Malignaggi was a contender who only lost to the best at the weight (Cotto/Hatton) and was coming off Diaz win.

Holt and Maidana could be seen as similar. (Again, being generous to Tim). They are both hard but limited punchers.

Kotelnik all but beat Alexander and also beat Maidana. So I rate that as a greater win.

Ah well, opinions are opinions, that "clearly" tag just mystified me.

 

No Witter and Judah aren't any where close to being similar wins, especially when you factor in the Witter fight was in teh UK.

Campbell is similar to Judah, Malinaggi is similar to the Casamayor fight, because both were irrelevant.

HOlt was the champion at the time, Maidana was just a challenger, I would also add that Holt is a 1 punch KO artist at 140, far more dangerous at the time than Maidana was again Khan.

Kotelnik beating Alexander is irrelevant, styles make fights, and Alexander was the #2 140 fighter at the time and Bradley dominated him and made him quit.

The clearly tag mystifies you because you don't know any better.

Bradley is the 140 champ, the only thing that kept it from being recognized was people saying bull**** about Manny P. being the 140 champ for beating Hatton, aka blatant bull****.

 

Fair enough, I would bust balls as well if I was in Lamont's position, but would do it mindful of the fact that a big payday would be on the horizon against a guy he could genuinely beat more impressively next time around.

 

I don't understand your point at the end. Either way if the option I'm saying is taken, if he wins he still makes money off of Khan. If he losses he still makes money, more money, off of Khan, plus he benefits from the huge gate and tv money the fight will generate in the UK. It is a win-win financial situation.

 

never yous (use lol)atsch a sony ericson phone..that is all

 

Judah was always a class above Witter. both were past prime. Khan knocked Judah out. Bradley outpointed Witter in the UK. Neither 1 is significantly better than the other.

Don't bring Casmayor into it, just don't. Malignaggi beat NDou and Ngoudjo, he was a contender for many years and was still relevant, coming off a win over Diaz.

Holt was the champion because he headbutted Torres into a state of unconsciousness. I'm always surprised when people forget about that.

Yes styles make fights. And Kotelnik's style beat Alexanders, thus he was better, and should still be regarded as such. As a result, a wipeout win over Kotelnik should be regarded far higher than one over that genuine hype-job, Alexander.

That's personal bull**** that means next to nothing, you've never had a conversation with me about boxing or anything else on this forum or otherwise. It holds about as much weight as your theory that Bradley's record is clearly greater than Khan's.

 

It's not really a point to analyse to the ends of the earth. I would use the tough negotiation tool too, obviously, but there is no guarantee Khan and his team will accept it. Prescott beat Khan more emphatically than Peterson, and he ended up being the one chasing the rematch.

 

So Khan doesn't deserve a rematch, but Peterson deserved to fight for the unified 140 titles in his hometown?

 

Khan and GBP accepted the fight, thinking it would be a cake walk and they got upset because they didn't do their homework. 2nd time GBP counted someone out when they shouldn't have, ie Angulo-Kirkland.

No the Judah, Khan beat wasn't a class above the Witter Bradley faced. Judah lost on an illegal blow to the body, at the end though, it doesn''t matter how you win as long as you do win.

LIke I said Casamayor has as much relevance as Malinaggi, who was coming off splitting fights with a 135 lber in Diaz. Malinaggi wasn't a factor at 140 after surviving the slaughter from Cotto and embarassing himself against Hatton. He arguablly lost his fight but was givien a gift again Ndoujo.

Holt was the champion and KO'd Torres clean out of his mind. Either way, he was still a 1 punch KO artist who knew how to wisely deliver his power, which puts him miles ahead of Maidana IMHO and Bradley beat him in New Jersey, I believe, after being knockdown twice.

Kotelnik lost the fight bro, and like I said Alexander was the #2 140 fighter when Bradley beat him, like it or not.

Like I said, you really don't know what you are talking about if you have Bradley under Khan or Peterson, it just isn't possible to come to that conclusion if you are educated.

If Khan doesn't accept fine, he looks the worse off and Peterson can push for a fight against Manny or Floyd, or rematch against Bradley.

 

just stop people a rematch is warranted and its the best money for Peterson

 

I trust Peterson will do what is best for Peterson. Good win, weirdly enough though, I dont know if he can make that much money on his own and it may be the reason why he will accept the rematch. It's called "professional boxing" as in "boxing for money" after all. He surely deserve the win, the fact that Khan deserve or not a rematch is irrelevant because if HBO buy that and only that from Peterson, he'll do it.

Just check Pascal. After the draw with Hopkins he was suppose to rematch Dawson (contract wise), both HBO and WBC said no and Pascal rematch Hopkins instead.

 

This is my last post on the matter because obviously it is a difference of opinion and has little to do with the original topic.

You haven't shown me personally why Bradley is the clear number 1 at the weightclass. Was Casamayor ever a light welterweight? No. Has Alexander legitimately won any of his recent fights at top level? No. Has Tim Bradley been inactive? Yes. Amir Khan rushed past him in the last 18 months, while Bradley was waiting on a money-spinner at welterweight, Khan beat 3 contenders. Peterson then beat Khan.

There is no "clear" number 1 at the weight. If Khan and Bradley had fought we would have a much better idea of who the number 1 was, but for various reasons they didn't.

And if you were "educated", you wouldn't make such bold statements whilst insulting others opinions without the ability to clearly back them up.
