    It'd be big, big, big. PPv numbers here usually match the states (all be it at a lower price).

    Yep, and Floyd knows it too.

    Only thing which may prove a stumbling block would be the Olympics next year

    I think Brook is excellent, but the way they are managing him indicates they don't have the same confidence. Swimming around dominating in B waters and jumping all the way to A+ waters in your first real step up is a prescription for failure.

    I do not go for the "now that he has been knocked on his ass and gotten up to win, he will believe in himself" crap. I don't think a fighter needs to be 'tested' as in having a competitive fight before taking a major fight, either. But I do think that a fighter should probably beat a fighter at each level before getting to the top. The exceptions are fighters who show vulnerability at the lower levels and make it make sense to cash out and see what happens.

    I give Peterson a chance to beat Khan. Khan doesn't hit as hard as Ortiz, and he's not as busy and tenacious as Bradley. I hope I'm right and Peterson wins. That'd be awesome!

    What's wrong? Did I give the impression Khan is a mere mortal?

    Peterson has some hand speed and he throws alot of punches.

    But he's not a puncher at all and has shaky defense.

    Khan should outspeed him and he doens't have any hard punches coming back to worry about.

    Khan via UD.

    You know what. I don't think this is as easy as people believe.

    I hope Khan isn't focused too much on Mayweather and prepares as good as he can for this one, (as I expect he will).

    Peterson is at home and he'll have the crowd on his side, so he shouldn't go down without a fight and I do expect this to be Khan's toughest test since Maidana.

    I don't expect Peterson to throw alot early. I think he'll be quite cagey early doors and aim to establish his jab but with no reward. He's not all that bad. He throws his punches in a nice compact way, moves pretty good and has good hand speed. He'll have success on the inside, (because as we know, Khan can't fight for shit on the inside), but will definitely struggle on the outside with Khan's jab and combination work and superior speed.

    Khan's jab and combination work will tell the story in this one on his way to a comprehensive UD imo.

    There's a case on Peterson's behalf that he gets star-struck by the great King Khan and falls apart at the seams from the opening Bell with his corner throwing in the towel and the home fans running amock in the arena.:lol:

    Actually I have completely reversed it. Peterson is the very sort of real challenge, deserving challenge, live-dog, that this Khan boy needs to face up to. You can face all the Maidanas and all the McCloskeys but this here be the realio dealio,yo. Slick, Inner-City etc.

    Seriously....he doesn't want to fight any live dogs, unknown quantities or people he knows can trouble him

    Kell Brook
    Maidana
    Pacquiao
    Prescott

    It's not ducking per se, its more how he conducts himself with the fights being stopped conveniently on cuts, getting blasted out in 60 seconds and getting a title shot 2 fights later. All the shit his dad talks too.

    What? :lol:

    As I said before, when Brook stops picking on Lithuanians nobody has ever heard of, he might get a shot. Not saying Brook is no good, it's just he has done nothing to earn such a big fight. At the moment that is a potentially dangerous fight for absolutely zero reward, nothing for Khan to gain in beating Brook.

    Maidana has already been beaten by Khan, and if he beats him again Maidana will just go from monster to bum. Again.

    LOL @ Pacquiao.

    Prescott needs to start, you know, winning some fucking fights :lol:
