    I get what you're saying... i personally still think his chin is as shaky as **** though.
    Against Maidana.. a fighter he should have been able to run rings around and easily outbox (like Alexander did) he got easily caught and was in a bad way and very nearly stopped. Then squeeked by on the scorecards.
    Peterson can't punch for ****. Only fighters he has stopped are fighters that have a history of being stopped and in that fight Khan showed he lacks intelligence and doesn't possess any resemblence of an inside game which you can now expect everyone and his dog to start exploiting against him now

    For people saying "Why does Kell have to prove it?" simple reason is, Khan doesnt need Kell Brook to make huge money in his next fight Kell Brook does need Khan (Unless somehow he gets matched with mayweather or pac) As soon as khan makes the 147 weight he is more than likely going to be offered a world title shot so why waste time with Brook. It makes no sense whatsoever for Khan to take a fight from a fighter who's never beaten a top 10 just to give said fighter a big pay day.

    We've seen Peterson against three current top-level guys: Bradley, Ortiz and Khan. He lost clearly but competitively to the first, drew with the second (and could have scraped a win) and beat the third (I don't believe the testosterone had anything to do with how inept Khan is on the inside).

    In each of those fights he's displayed a variety of skills - he's pretty well-rounded.

    We've never seen anyone who can put Brook under pressure, never mind world-class. I think he's a little one-dimensional, relying on reflexes and a fairly unorthodox style that will nearly always fail at world level.

    :good cool. I agree to some degree although i don't tend to base my core analysis of a fighters skill set soley on who he has fought because what you essentially just described there is again eluding to the fact Peterson is more proven as opposed to more skilled.
    You see Brook as one dimensional... i also see Peterson as quite one dimensional. i actually see Peterson as a bit of an ordinary Joe to be honest. Does the fundamentals OK but doesn't really excel at anything

    :think You're either very young, foreign, or just generally not very bright.

    You quoted me asking a question and then posted something that bared no relavence to the question you quoted.

    You mean the post that was posted after yours... by someone completely different... who did actually make a relavent post in conjuntion with what he quoted???? You should take notes

    I guess it'sjust looking at things a bit differently.

    I agree Khan should have been able to run rings around Maidana, IMO though he wanted to show he can punch with a puncher and he did.

    With regards to Peterson, I think Khan won the fight, but not grumbling about Peterson taking it he fought the better fight on the night.

    Khan will have learned more (probably) in those 2 fights than Brook has so far in his career and is another reason to favour Khan.

    The two tie together somewhat - I've found that Kell has a fairly repetitive set of moves, but Peterson has shown lots of different wrinkles to his game. He's not great at any of them, that said.

    :huh Your arguments for claiming Kell being superior lacks any real logic and your suggestions that I could be young or "foreign" indicates your real level of intelligence

    But you haven't made an argument at all.

    i implied that Peterson has better skill set than Brook by fighting better class of opponents

    I think with the ease in which Kell has dealt with his domestic opposition shows that he has some serious skills but yeah i agree with you that until we see him properly tested to the point he has to up his game we won't know the true level of his abilities.
    I think it is the ease in which he has done everything that makes his skill set look so impressive. Beating Matthew Hatton is no big feat but to do it with relative ease and in a more dominant fashion than Canelo did shows he has some ability there.

    As i said in my first post in this thread, i'm probably a bit biased because i don't like Khan so the old **** stained goggles come out when his name is mentioned.
