Amir Khan vs Anthony Peterson

Good lord - Peterson would ANNIHILATE the glass-jawed Khan. There is a REASON he fights extremely light-hitting tomato cans, people!! :nod

 

:nod my thought on the matter as well.

 

Khans handspeed and power are immense. Any fighter can get knocked down from a shot and its better it happened at the early stage in his career for his development so i'm going for Amir.

I still believe he will win a world title but whether he becomes the superstar he wants to i have no idea

 

**** it. I will go with Khan he gets so much abuse on this site thats un called for. He has a handspeed and a power advantage over Peterson.

Khan late TKO.

 

Power advantage over Peterson? :huh :huh

 

i have seen a few anthony ARUUHHHHHHHHHHH peterson fights, and imo the talent level is not comparible.

now that does not stop peterson from winning, he might hang tough and drop a perfectly timed right over the top and khan might not be able to take it and be ko`d.

but looking at it objectivley , khan if mirrored against peterson and say they matched jabs and fought from the outside is going to littreally bamboozle peterson with his speed.

khans hands and feet are so much faster than petersons and peterson dropping his hands so much is going to be an easy target, that petersons best chance would be to turn bomber and stalker, because his jab and boxing from the outside are just not going to get the job done against khan.
he will be picked off and not have time to counterpunch before being bombed.

khans straight punching style IMO would prove to much.

peterson is stronger looking than khan , and if he could trap khan against the ropes and unleash nice short precise punches he has in his armoury he might overpower khan , but skillwise and speedwise khan is a level above peterson.

 

Yeah. I think Khan is more hurtful shot for shot.

 

Peterson KO

 

Amir Khan is probably more talented, but he's still naive, very young, he's not been hit with anything substantial and he's not got a great chin. Until he gets more rounds under his belt and gets used to being hit he's going to be in danger against world class opposition.

He's not been hit very often in his career so far because he's totally overwhelmed the guys he's fought, and when he has he's not taking it well. Willi Limond is a good strong fighter but he's not puncher, but he had Khan seconds away from being stopped. I think his chin will improve with experience, and his ability to cope when hurt will improve too, but until then he stands a risk of getting beat. He's 21 so he's got another 15 years of career ahead of him, he's far from the finished article.

In time Khan will get bigger and stronger and I reckon he'll probably end up somewhere around middleweight by the time he retires. He will win world titles in more than one weight division. But he will also probably get beat, and stopped, on the way.

In about 5 or 6 years though I think Khan would destroy Peterson, because in terms of natural talent only Gamboa can compete.

 

Even IF this is true - and, at best, it's debatable - the key issue is that he can't take punches even from light hitters without hitting the deck!!

There is a REASON his management has fed him one extremely light-hitting fighter after another. And even one of THOSE guys had him on the deck!!

 

lol dude khan has fought guys with single digit KOs on their record, They will NOT put him in there with Anthony Peterson. Peterson is a big 135lber and is very fast and strong. He will BRUTALLY KO Khan.

 

See here is a man who knows what he's talking about! :good

 

Yeah it is true. But I was saying that Khan had a harder punch. I think Peterson would get outboxed.

And if Khans chin did betray him he would be up on points at the time.

I don't doubt that's possible - Khan has great boxing ability, he just doesn't have the durability to make it in this sport, and his handlers KNOW it, which is why they're matching him with such extremely light-hitters.:yep
