    Khan is the favourite as he should be. But for me it wouldnt be a massive upset if peterson wins. He has decent skills, looks in great shape and as good as khan is he is somewhat over rated. Looking forward to a good competive fight.

    I think he has a great chance and I am pulling for him to win this. His timing needs o be on point and he needs to win the battle of the jabs too bc Khan has a really fast jab that is pretty good. I also think Peterson needs to fight on the inside a lot and rough Khan up. Do a little of what Ward did to Green. Khan can't fight on the inside at all and he is a sucker for over hand rights. Maidana timed him a lot and hurt him as well. We will see tonight.
     
  5. i just cant see this man winning against someone like khan. peterson's a journeyman at best.

    I think he has what it takes if he can put it all together. He needs to be on point with his jab tonight to offset Khan which will neutralize a little of his speed and be very physical on the inside.

    He stands the best chance since Maidana of pulling off the upset. Khan-Judah was virtually split on this forum, many people picking Judah to cause the upset...yet Peterson is being given little chance. I think he'll cause Khan problems, but Khan will pick up the win.

    Slim

    Good upperbody movment but not enough power to knock out Khan and not enough activity to outpoint him

  13. i know exactly what it means. do u? khan is one of best fighters on the planet. his resume is already pretty impressive. he should be in the top 6 or 7 p4p. top 3 if he had bigger names on his resume. peterson has good conditioning. thats basically it. he's relatively experienced too, but he doesnt stand a chance against khan. if khan had a stronger chin, there's no telling how far he could go. the man has a lot of heart, incredible boxing skills and is extremely fast. if it werent for his questionable chin he'd be the complete package.
     
  14. incredible boxing skills i beg to differ, the guy leaps in and leaves himself open all the time againt someone like mayweather hed be counter punched all night and made to look an idiot... his advantage is speed and workrate his skills are not his main asset...

    He stands a chance. Fights have to be fought regardless of what it looks like on paper. Khan has been beat before and it can happen again. Speed can be neutralized and timing can and will play a huge factor. Khan might just destroy Peterson. We will just find out tonight. I am going with Peterson and may the best man tonight win.
