    What win do you think was the most impressive ?



    Bear in mind Khan had lost his fight prior to his bout with Garcia against Lamont Peterson, plus Khan had been knocked out before and looked shaky against big punchers, Peterson had only been beaten once by Tim Bradley and was known to have a pretty solid chin and was also extremely mentally strong.

    Even though Petetson was overrated imo, Matthysse destroyed him in devestating fashion. A good few boxers could KO Khan if they land the right shot, not many could destroy the likes of Peterson in 3 rounds

    Agreed. Danny Garcia himself picked Lamont Peterson to win against Matthyse, and was noticeably shocked when Peterson got blasted.

    When Khan was mentioned to Matthyse as a possible opponent he smirked, and moved on to the next question.

    Matthyse definitely. Lots of people predicted Khan's chin getting smashed. I can't think of many who saw Peterson losing like that.

    Both Peterson and Khan were overrated but the answer here has to be Matthysse's W over Peterson.

    matthyse. peterson is a good boxer and should have done alot better vs matthyse i remember alot of people saying peterson would easily outbox him but matthyse made real quick work of him.

    garcia however was down on the scorecards and landed a solid shot to the neck area (which he was not even looking during) and managed to finish khan (which we all know khans chins reputation)

    conclusion - Matthyse
