Amir Khan: "I would love to fight Lamont Peterson again if he is off steroids!

Regarding Lamont Peterson's positive test and whether he believes he should be given back the belts he lost in December :

"Well basically Lamont Peterson is a cheat! We knew from day one that there was something there that I have never seen before, in the fight against me he was coming forward, and have never seen him come forward so much and be so aggressive and take so many shots and come back from them being put down twice in first round and him using his head and everything, it was a tough fight! "I knew there was something wrong in that fight and I'm glad that the Nevada commission, anti doping caught him and is cleaning up the sport of boxing. About the titles, I'll leave to the commission, the boxing board if they want to restate me or put it in the next fight, but I think they should restate me as champion."

If he would still be interested in having a rematch with Lamont Peterson:

"Ya! I would like to cause at the end of the day is was a great fight, a great fight for the fans. I would love to fight Lamont Peterson again if he is off steroids, but if he is still on them he is a threat to my career and my life. Other then that if it's going to be fair and he's not going to take anything, it was be an easy win for us. I think that's what kept him in the fight so long, cause if he was not on anything I think I would of stopped him in a couple of rounds, cause it shows that it helps an opponent when you take banned substances.

Sadly that is word for word :rofl The issue is how much do I change from what he said :conf

 

Amir says what's on his mind and holds nothing back......and this is why he is one of my favorites to interview.

 

Well, I mean if he was Floyd Sr we would cut out 3 repeats every other word....but for the most part you try and capture the way that he said it, so in your head you can hear him saying it.....the Floyd Sr one you can read and feel like he is in the room with you......but I ran that through the grammar checker and it actually targeted those areas....but again...better to get what he says then to change it and make him sound less like him.

 

Well, after losing to Peterson I was not a fan of how he was acting, but after Peterson came back positive, and admitted that he took it before the last fight.....it just gave Khan free reign to say whatever he wanted, and for us to sit down and shut up until his next fight.

 

Boxing girl, when are you going to ask Mayweather Snr/Roger Mayweather on their opinion on Peterson getting caught?
They previously claimed Khan lost against Peterson because he was off the steroids
