    Dude.

    I don't like Khan. But Peterson was popped for taking synthetic testosterone.

    How can you defend that?

    Yup and seemingly past it. Bradley is a great name to have on your resume, and would help do good ratings on TV.

    Either Khan is totally negligent of what his team is doing, or he is seriously not wanting to face anyone that is even remotely a threat.

    He is costing himself millions of dollars waiting on that Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. It's not as if Mayweather pays his opponents a lot of money either way. Pacquiao is the only guy who can get the kind of split that he got. Everyone else (Guerrero, Ortiz, Maidana) settled for less than 5 million, I believe.

    Khan is a big man only on twitter. When it comes to getting in the ring not so much.

    Not feather fisted or past it enough for khan though. Khan needs absolute washed up never-weres.

    And why should he risk fighting anyone else? It seems fighting these calibre of opponents is enough to fool most fans and help him create the illusion that "I'm stwonger now, I'm gonna beat Meeeer-wedder!"

    The reality is Khan is still the same chinny, brainless, feather fisted, arrogant and delusional idiot that he was the minute he turned pro. He has not changed one bit.

    He's got a bit more money and his fights are generally pretty entertaining.

    No they didn't: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/17987251

    Peterson was stripped of his WBA for failing pre-fight tests: http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/173591-the-wba-has-stripped-peterson-of-its-140-pound-title.

    He was caught, and admitted through his attorney, using testosterone: http://ringtv.craveonline.com/news/172783-kizer-peterson-tested-positive-for-testosterone-pellets

    Yeah its even more suspect when Peterson didn't even disclose he was having any sort of treatment within the random testing forms.

    One group of professionals that matter bought it - the other stripped Peterson.

    It MAY have been legitimate - it's a shame Peterson or his representatives didn't think to share the details of the synthetic testosterone with officials.

    Since he didn't, asides from standard trolling practice, I can see why people would doubt Peterson and consider him as someone who may have cheated to gain a competitive advantage...
