Can / Will Peterson simply vacate the WBA to avoid a Khan rematch ??

At the end of the day he got exactly what he wanted. If he hadn't had made such a big deal about it he would not have got a rematch. He did exactly what he had to do.

 

He hasn't got a rematch though has he?

Peterson can drop the belt and tell the WBA to **** off. Imagine if we saw this sort of drama after every close fight? atsch

 

I'm amazed that a man as tightfisted as Khan places so much value in ''paid for'' titles.

I'd have thought he'd just declare himself ''champion'' and start from there

On Peterson, I think he'll run with the rematch unless an offer is made for him to face Pacquiao. For that he'd be looking at probably $3m+, whereas a Khan rematch he'd be lucky to do much over $1m.

If Peterson is stripped then I'd assume there'd be no Vacant title as Maidana has the WBA regular title.

Khan deserves a rematch here.

 

what the guy who was really trying to hurt him in the ring really loading up on his shots like he had real grievance with him:roll: .

 

Can't see Golden Boy and Freddie letting Pacman near Peterson until Khan gets another crack, and interesting situation is if Khan was made to fight the WBA regular Champ for the vacant beltatsch

 

I think you've got it the wrong way round - Pac drives the sport financially right now, so if he wants Peterson then there's no way Khan gets the rematch any time soon.

Khan would have gotten his rematch if he'd been patient.

 

Without the point deductions I think that Khan won the fight, I thought he won even with the deductions but it was close and it was a decent scrap.......Why would Khan give a rematch to someone he dominated (McCloskey), stopped legit (Judah) or is in no position to give a rematch to because he was stopped (Prescott), thats just daft. Maidana is now up at 147 so we may see that again in the future

 

So you would rather see Peterson carried and then stopped in a one sided beat down by Pac than a decent competitive entertaining fight with Khan? Boxing fans bemuse me sometimes

Lame ****

Sure he would

 

i think its more a case of thinking he deserves a crack at the best and a very nice payday, rather than (in all likelihood) getting jobbed at the MEN against khan for less money

 

dont be daft

youre telling me that punch is the other way round and Khan gets stopped?

huh? he wont rematch him because he knocked him out?

after that 10th? not likely

 

You telling me that McCloskey didn't lose every second of every round before the stoppage? You can't be one of the daft ones who thinks that his plan was to get beat up and then come on strong in the second half?

The Prescott situation is self explanatory...its not up to the beaten man to offer the rematch....Its as daft as Salita offering Khan a fight in New York, just to settle things

 

Contradiction, much? Khan's offering Peterson a rematch but, if my eyes don't deceive me, Khan lost.

 

no you old goat, mccloskey didnt do **** - but neither did Khan. I was ringside for that fight and Khan looked terrible. Its clear that goldenboy underestimated mccloskeys awkwardness and once that small cut happened saw a great opp to end the fight and get Khan outa there asap. McCloskey obviously got jobbed but i suppose thats economics and thats boxing, but it swings both ways. Khan cant shout about the ref, commission and the city of Washington itself (?) after proclaiming what a great service he was doing by bringing the fight there.

He also got 'assisted' shall we say against Barerra - youre not really going to try to rationalise that one too?....and the 10th of the Maidana fight where 9/10 fighters would be stopped (if not HBO + Goldenboy).

As for your Prescott point - its neither true or relevant. Its a HIGHLY sellable fight, a HIGHLY winnable fight - economics and common sense, yet something prevents that match being made.


Khans always had everything his own way his whole professional career - people are simply taking a bit of enjoyment at finally seeing the roles reversed and the double standard hypocrites they are revealing themselves to be
