    Its the only time in his career that Peterson has been able to get inside, stay there, bully and out-muscle his opponent....I wonder why that was :think

    Is the wedding still going ahead, was he not caught out laying pipe on two club whores recently and it was splashed all over the papers.:deal You should have seen the state of them:lol:

    He needs to fight 3-4 times next year as his career is going down the toilet

    Khan has no inside game and is physically weak.

    he fought molina on the inside pretty well in one of the rounds, he fought off the ropes and throughout the fight he was landing uppercuts on the inside, not from the outside which cost him against garcia. i think his inside game is way better then it was against peterson and maidana,

    Again it was Molina's lack of skill and size that allowed Khan to do that, I reserve judgement until I see Khan in a real fight.

    Also Hunter no doubt taught him a "bit" of basic inside tecnique.

    He had none prior to that night.

    Given that he showed absolutely no aptitude as a true pressure fighter in the past you would have to say that illegal substances probably played a part....Peterson turned from pussycat who could be dissuaded to a steamroller who couldn't in the space of a few months. I still dont understand how the result of that fight still stands given that LP has admitted taking testosterone in the run up.

    It comes down to money

    Khan will lose again when he steps up his competition, he's too open defensively and believes his hands are heavier than they are, strategically he's fighting all wrong! its a shame but there it is

    What would you do if your promotional company gave you cans to knock over for $1.5M every time your out, at this age? i know what i'd do, i'd say thank you very much

    Danny Garcia is not a top class fighter, if Khan cannot beat a guy like this, he's in serious trouble when he does look above that level, Matthyse, Marquez, Rios, Abril, Guerrero and Bradley (could do 140 for the right money IMO) these are the division's better guys, Danny Garcia is a front runner, and he knocked Khan about and brutalised him!

    In answer to the question yes, Khan should be looking for the better guys, but he won't, and there's reasons for that!

    Personally i think Ricky Burns @140 in the U.K next up makes the most sense, it just fits!
