    Khan stops him late on accumulation in a pretty good, competitive fight.

    Why would Peterson have to get inside Khan's jab, Peterson has the longer reach, by 3 inches, while being an inch shorter.

    Should be interesting to see how Khan adopts to a fighter of similar size. I just wonder how big Khan is gong to be, he looked huge in comparison to Judah, especially compared to how he (Khan) looked against Maidana.

    I don't know if Khan will get the KO... I just feel the level in class will make the difference. Ortiz is more or less on Petersons level...he's more powerful and bigger but Peterson is more technically sound.

    Khan is faster, bigger and stronger...plus he's a better technical fighter...There styles are very different and Peterson has a more flashy style but he's not as sound defensively or offensively as Khan. I won't be surprised one bit if Khan ends peterson's night early....I expect it but who know...Peterson may up his level and put on a performance that a lot expected from the brothers when they first hit the pro ranks.

    Zab would school Lamont or Anthony...and get double KO's:lol: ON THE SAME NIGHT!:roll: I'm exaggerating but Zab would beat Peterson without much doubt in my mind.

    Before the Khan fight everyone had Zab as a "sleeper" at 140...Thinking he'd beat the likes of Tim, Khan and Devon. I think even now Zab can beat Tim and Devon but in far more competitive fights. Khan would make just as easy work out of Tim and Devon as he did Zab.

    Zab wouldn't beat Lamont, he would get KO'd for real in my opinion.

    Peterson showed me that he was at capable of performing on Bradley's level, especially when I found out why he looked so bad in the fight.

    That being said I think he gives Khan hell, because while he is not as fast, he has a better chin, is a better in fighter, and is pretty good at timing and countering.

    Lamont hasn't even won a fringe title yet...he's a solid cat but he isn't a top Jr WW. Zab is proven...he's a former MULTI division champ and his experience alone would be enough to cover the one advantage Lamont would have which is his age.....being younger doesn't mean you will beat an older guy.

    The problem Lamont will face is "CLASS".....Class with a side of physical demensions that will be too much for Peterson to overcome. I agree Lamont is probably a better in fighter based on having shorter arms and works well with his style...but Khan will pick him apart from the outside like he did Zab.

    The reason Zab beats Peterson is for that reason you "THINK" he'll trouble Khan....Zab is a better in fighter than Peterson...he's more explosive, faster and more talented. Zab would probably beat Peterson FASTER than Khan will.....but BOTH would beat peterson inside the distance.

    You know the thing about Lamont's performance against Bradely was that he was sitting idle for a long period of time, and previous to that fight he hadn't been given any opportunity to step up his level of opposition. Top Rank really screwed the Peterson brothers over in terms of fully developing them. Take someone like Rios, and they really put alot more into developing him. After the Bradely fight, everyone with money lost any interest in Peterson other than as an opponet, which was the case for Ortiz.

    I think Lamont is alot better than we've seen and now that he's been given a major fight with ample time I'll be suprised if he doesn't really push Khan, and I think maybe beat him. I didn't like the way Khan looked against McKloskey or how he finished against Maidana. As for the Judah fight, Zab quit like a dog. Super Judah was just there for a pay day and not willing to take much punishment. Lamont can crack hard and he'll be hungry. If he can get this win, he's in line for a big money rematch and maybe a fight with Floyd.

    Zab is a shell of himself, especially since he dropped to 140. Anybody that can push Zab will take his heart. Matthyse is overrated, too wild and not effective with his offense.
