Comments Thread For: Peterson: Beating Spence, Others Would Get Me to Hall of Fame

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Lamont Peterson was optimistic, yet honest. He doesn't consider what he has accomplished thus far in boxing worthy of induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The two-division champion is confident, though, that he can change how he is viewed historically by upsetting Errol Spence Jr. on Saturday night and beating other elite welterweights before he calls it a career.

Last time I recall a fighter talking about the HOF like this was Paulie, right before his fight with Danny. Paulie didn't see the final bell that night. I expect the same to happen here.

he isn't even a two division champ. peterson was always a level below the elite.

I like Peterson, he is very realistic and down to earth, guy came from nothing.

Peterson is a solid guy but I think he's in big trouble tonight. Last time he faced a guy with serious power he wilted pretty quick and Spence is packing some TNT in those fists.

while i agree he never beat any elite competition and his best years is behind him and no way he beats these young killers at 147 NO WAY

IT IS the power that will most likely make the difference here. Although at +1200, alot of mofo's are selling Peterson short. He'll show he's better than that...

I say the names Lamont would have to beat in order to get in the hall of fame would be Spence, Thurman, Crawford and plus rematch Lucas Matthysse (and win) if he does that he's in lol haha.... Alright Lamont go out there and make the critics believers. Go dominate Errol Spence ...... (sarcasm)

Peterson probably won't make the hall of fame as a boxer as a person he's up there.He's done so well to turn his life around from nothing.He beat good fighters on his way and deserved his victory wholeheartedly against Khan who only got a point or two deducted when there should have been many more he fouled Laumont over fifty times!

I think Peterson's hall of fame trip will end tonight I can't see him making the final bell.....I hope he does.

Spence is the real deal but he hasn't done anything yet besides stopping Brook

You'd need a lot more than Spence on your resume...would need to dominate the division as a minimum
