    Peterson again
    Ive got a feeling Khan will have too much speed for Peterson to handle however Peterson will have more power. I think its going to be Khan winner by decision this time round.

    IF Khan listens to Roach, who will have a plan to dismantle Peterson, he should win by decision. I don't expect a KO; it'll go the distance again. Let's see if Amir is mature enough to stop going toe to toe and sticking to the strategy.

    Can't believe it, the fight is off! Peterson failed a drug test and the titles are now vacant for Khan to find an oppenent to have a shot at regaining them.

    it took a dodgy ref, meddling wit the score cards and steroids to questionably beat khan.

    What a joke from Peterson, was looking forwards to this as well. Khan says he's after an opponent again for the 30th June. Any thoughts who he could get? Marquez is meant to be in talks with bradley for a July 14th fight at the cowbiys stadium in texas, but nothings been announced yet.

    It would be great if Khan could get Marquez! I'd prefer to see that than the Peterson fight anyway

    What a bummer this news was. I don't think he'll find a decent opponent in time. The story on Peterson's side is murky. Medical drugs that boost your testosterone and why weren't they declared earlier?

    This was always going to happen; so much controversy over the first fight it was only a matter of time before something else turned up. Sucks mind.

    So the Kahn fight has been cancelled due to Peterson testing positive for drugs.
    Does that mean the belets are vacant now?

    No i should imagine they'll go back to Kahn, seeings as he tested positive BEFORE the 1st fight, which was when he lost them.

    I think what's disappointed me is how late this failed drugs test has come out - a week for the fight. And shockingly, the failed drug test happened BEFORE the first fight, a fight which Petersen won. A fight in which he pushed Khan and also, maybe incidentally, put on 20pounds from the weigh-in to fight night also.

    I was looking forward to the re-match and shame that its been cancelled for failed drugs test reasons. No doubt, whether that steroid was intentional or not, it would appear that it helped him that night.

    I can see Khan vs. Alexander or Khan vs. Danny Garcia (who beat Barrera for the WBC belt?) and for a unification fight in July - that'd make sense.

    Khan should fight Miguel Cotto, if he wins it would prove he is ready for Mayweather

    Khan is fighting american Danny Garcia now, who holds the WBC title at 140. Beat Morales last time out, looked so-so. Khan should win

    Boxing is just for chavs and idiots. At least those who take part in it are. I'd bet a lot of money that Amir Khan got an F in GCSE Foundation Maths. Prove me wrong.

    I think the fact you thought that about boxing fans clarifies the epitome of your intelligence to be honest.

    Real boxing fans understand the Art of the sport, not the crap on the outside

    Exhibit A: Most people from my school went to sixth form. One of the guys who failed all his gcse foundation papers started boxing because he has nothing better to do. lol
