Khan wants Peterson

He got screwed the first time around, in numerous ways.

Hometown ref, hometown judges, fighting a doped up PEDerson.

For those saying he should've targeted the rematch sooner? He did. It was set. Lamont failed a PED/IQ test and it got called off. Wilder was justified walking away from Povetkin, Lebedev wasn't wrong for walking away from the Jones rematch, and it sure wasn't Khan's fault about Peterson.

Consistency, people. Try it once in awhile. You don't have to like Khan one bit, but the dude got done wrong vs Peterson and it's ridiculous to put it on him.

 

How long ago was it that Peterson failed, and has since has his licence back to fight legitimately?

This isn't about revenge, it's a convenient alibi for him to avoid facing Brook.

He could have rematched Peterson years ago.

He even had the chance to enforce his mandatory position and avenge his loss to Garcia. Instead he chased a fight that he knew he'd lose just to pocket some money and avoid facing any top 10 welterweights that were punchers who could ruin his reputation.

The man is a disgrace to the sport, and you sir are an apologist for this utter disgrace of a human being.

 

Hope the match gets made. Khan gets bullied to another defeat in my book. He shouldn't have lost the first fight but his simpleton ring IQ saw to it that he did - he chose to go toe-to-toe when he could have out-boxed Peterson. But Khan has slipped enough now for me to feel he loses again, whatever his approach might be.

 

But he's not rematched any of them in the near-decade since his first loss. You think he would have managed to have at least got Prescott back in the ring if he was so keen to avenge losses. I think the key indicator which determines the difference between a boxer saying he wants to avenge losses and actually avenging them is the number of times he fights opponents who previously beat him. He's 0 for 3 on that score currently...

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Khan/Peterson winner fight the Thurman/García winner, and the winner of that face Brook/Spence winner. I wish Boxing was tournament-centric sometimes.

 

What year was the Peterson rematch scheduled, do you know? I seem to recall it was a good few years ago now...

 

I think Peterson wins the rematch again.

He'd figured out Khan by round 6 and all he has to do is start the rematch like it's round 13.

 

Amir Khan is the gift that just keeps giving.

 

Khandasians

 

Allow me to rephrase that for you;

Amir khan is the fraud that keeps defrauding.

 

Why does he mention cotto? Khan said he won't step up again from 147lbs and Cotto is no WW.

Again it's just Khan the contradiction again.

 

Khan clearly ducked Brook and has no shame... But this isn't a bad fight.
