Haha that's exactly what I thought when I heard Peterson's story and saw him on screen

Oh dear Khan.Bit of a sore loser.
This
Angry Nome! I agree completely. Poor from Khan, that defeat has been coming as well...Khan deserved to lose that fight. I for one am happy because I dislike Khan's general attitude....
I think he always comes across as a decent bloke.
I dislike Khan a lot, and he's massively overrated. People saying he could be best p4p is one of the strangest comments I've heard. Anyone who thinks he has the remotest chance against real greats like Manny or Floyd are mentally ill, including himself. It would be a humiliation for him.
I have no time for boxers who try to take punches to try to prove that they can. cnut.
He spent half the fight putting his chin out and goading him saying the punches were doing no damage, like a dick. It's like he was trying to show the crowd more than Peterson. He also didn't seem to realize that he would be scored lower for not being the aggressor, as oppose to DC just being corrupt.
I am pretty sure he will beat him in the rematch mind
Khan fought like an idiot. He constantly allowed Peterson to trap him on the ropes and unload on him right through his guard.
Two losses now in fights he shouldn't have lost. He's just hype.
He will as he is a far more skillful fighter than Peterson but clearly has none of his heart.
Fought a stupid fight and got punished but still a very good boxer who could still be a p4p king once manny and floyd have retired. I think some are writing him off too soon, he's still only 25.
Good fight but Khan's complete lack of inside game was apparent yet again. He's a class act but it's clear he can only really fight one way.
I assume there will have been a rematch clause in the contract so I'm looking forward to seeing them go at it again, there was some really good action at times.

I find it even more hilarious now that he was serious about fighting Mayweather or Manny before this fight.
I missed the fight. Blaming some points deduction?
Two judges have it by one point to Peterson. The other judge, the blind one, gave it to Khan by 3 despite the fact that two points were taken off him.
Khan had points deducted by the ref in the 7th (I think) and the last round for pushing. He was warned on numerous occasions and he could have had points taken off him in every round. He never stopped pushing. Anytime Peterson got close, Khan kept holding his head down, so I was surprised he wasn't docked points for that.
I have always though that Khan was an arrogant arsehole , he is a bad role model for kids.
I thought the ref had a good fight , but now they want to question his ability at the boxing board.
Just looks like sour grapes to me.
What Kahn should do is shut the feck up admit he was beaten by the better fighter , get the match and show everybody how you can really fight , because he has got a massive amount of talent but shoots his gob of far to much.

The judge that gave it to Khan by 3 even after the 2 points taken away , has no place being a boxing judge.
Based on what? Seriously, I don't understand. I know a couple of kids who trained at his old gym...and they've only ever said good things about him...in contrast to the loveable Ricky Hatton, who said the right things in front of the camera...yet has always been loathed in Hattersely his home town.
how about the car accident that he had and nearly killed a man , showed no compassion and was caught speeding not long after that doing 100+ mph.
What exactly did he say?
it is just his actions that piss me off , after one accident where you nealy kill somebody , you would drive more carefully , but not him.
He was driving his £87,000 BMW convertible in Bradshawgate, Bolton, when he struck Geoffrey Hatton on a pelican crossing. Mr Hatton, 55, suffered a broken leg in the incident.
Khan was cleared of dangerous driving, but found guilty of careless driving. He was given a six-month driving ban and fined £1,000.
Three months later he was back in court to face magistrates for an earlier offence of speeding.
A police officer said his own speedometer was "off the clock" at 155mph as he pursued the boxer on the M62 motorway near Rochdale.
He's in the wrong sport then...I'm sure he'd make a great partner for Lewis Hamilton. Amir Khan's clearly a cock for speeding...but..but...you'll find most sportsmen with bags of cash are bellends...including most United players.
yes true.
I've got to go against the grain a little bit. Not saying Peterson deserved to get points deducted or anything but he was leading with his head and I didn't see Khan pushing him away as being anything that warranted the referee getting involved. Peterson was right on the money in his post-fight interview when he said that the pushing away didn't bother him but the pushing the back of his head down did - personally I thought Khan only started going crazy with the head grabbing when the ref docked the first point for the pushing. Take away the point deductions and I'd probably have had Khan winning by a point or else a draw.
i did feel the refs was a little 'homey' he had no interest in seperating them when they got tied up instead insisting they fought their way out, this played right into petersons hands and denied kahn the space he needed to work, I actually commented to my mates during the first couple of rounds i felt the ref would inevitably dock kahn as he was on at him right from the off and barely ever said a word to peterson
having said all that kahn should've found a smarter way to combat it, the pushing was far too obvious and he clearly lost focus after the first deduction, goading one minute and running away the next he had no answer to petersons tactics
I think a draw would've been a fair result, the 2 docked points was harsh
was very impressed with peterson too, a real warrior, i doubt the rematch will be any easier for kahn

Considering the easy night Bradley had with Peterson, it makes a mockery of Khan's claims to be the best fighter at 140.
It makes Bradley's win look even more impressive but I'm not sure it tells us who the best at 140 is... styles make fights and all that (sorry for the cliche but it's true).
Having said that, I'd say Bradley is the favourite if they ever actually fight. If Khan was troubled by Peterson leading with his head and roughing him up on the inside then he'll be in for a long night against Bradley.

Prior to last night I considered Bradley to be the best at 140. He has a much better resume, IMO. Khan losing to Peterson just reinforced that, for me.
I couldn't choose between their records up till Saturday night, both have got some good wins on there. Bradley takes it now, obviously.
Not really. Different circumstances entirely. Peterson had the fight of his life and was revved up being back home in DC. That victory was all heart. My money is on Khan taking him apart in the rematch quite comfortably.
He might well do. Bradley is still the best fighter at 140. Before last night, and today.
Na, he's had some great wins too. Any fighter can lose, it's how you bounce back. He's shown he has a chin now but why he chooses to give it to his opponents i have no idea...
He's still young, he's a much better fighter than he was but he's guilty of believing his own hype. If he faught his fight he wouldnt have lost. He showed a lack of maturity.
Every fighter loses, unless you are Floyd Mayweather. But i can see why fighters want to fight Mayweather, it's a win win situation, you make a shit load of money and lose to a guy who doesn't really hit that hard, he might stop you but he probably wont ruin your career with the beating you take. On top of that there is no disgrace in losing to him and if just IF you might pull an upset you are a superstar.
If Kahn learns from this and wins the rematch i dont doubt he'll be calling out Money again.
It's one of the reasons he lost. Already looking past his next opponent!
Fair play to Peterson, he got so outclassed in the first round, it was almost impossible to see him winning. He then got in Khan's face and took him completely out of his comfort zone.
Khan looked completly classless in the post fight interview and he should have given Peterson more credit. Perhaps the referee could have warned Peterson for going in too low with his head. However Khan could have made a point of that to the ref, rather than completely ignoring his own warnings for pushing and spoiling.
Whatever happens, Khan needs to work on his game. That victory is a template for anybody to beat Khan, it completely nullified his speed and a heavyer hitter would have had him out of there long before the bell.
REPORT: VITALI TO FIGHT CHISORA
Vitali Klitschko will defend his WBC heavyweight title against Briton's Dereck Chisora in February, according to German newspaper Bild.
If true, the news completes a remarkable year for 'Del Boy', who was twice jettisoned by Wladimir Klitschko in favour of David Haye before losing to both Tyson Fury and Robert Helenius.
However, while dropping his British and Commonwealth titles to Fury following a troubled preparation, Chisora redeemed his reputation against Helenius earlier this month in Helsinki, winning the fight for the European strap on all cards bar those of the judges.
And with Finn Helenius sidelined by a broken hand suffered in that contest, Chisora's all-action style and marketability clearly appeals more to the Klitschko team than the arguably more dangerous Fury.
Chisora's promoter Frank Warren had demanded an immediate rematch with Helenius following the shocking decision, which gave Helenius a split verdict.
Bild say the fight will take place in Munich on February 18 while rather spuriously adding Klitschko will then take on former WBA champion Haye in June, again in Germany.
There can't be many fighters that have come from two consecutive losses at a mediocre level and then gone on to a World Title shot. I can only assume that a deal was made when he lost his shot at Wladimir.
He was robbed against Helenius. Coupled with Wlad pulling out of two fights with him, I can see why this could be made. There is a dearth of credible challengers in the HW division.
I agree about the dearth of talent Lance, I just find it odd that two consecutive losses = title shot!
I didn't see the Helenius fight, I read it was a terrible decision. I can only think a deal was struck months ago and maybe the performance against Helenius, rather than the result enabled them to go ahead with the deal.
