Pacquaio, Mayweather and Khan All Announce Fights

The biggest question, unfortunately, in boxing was answered a little over two weeks ago when Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced a May 5thbout with Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This was followed by an announcement from the Top Rank camp that Manny Pacquaio would be meeting the man many figured was brought into the Top Rank fold to one day be an opponent for Pacquaio, Tim Bradley. Fight fans then got another big announcement when a May 19th rematch in Vegas was announced for Amir Khan and Lamont Peterson.

Khan vs. Peterson

I'd be inclined to agree with Khan's opinion regarding the split decision victory for Peterson. Let's clear up one thing first: Lamont Peterson put in a hell of a performance. At the beggining of the fight I thought Marcos Maidana would remain Khan's toughest challenge so far in his career, but he quickly proved me wrong. He came in excellent condition, was able to take everything Khan threw at him and landed some absolute bombs which should put any doubt about Khan's chin to rest finally.
