Amir Khan has demonstrated exactly what he did to Lamont Peterson that cost him two points in Washington on Saturday. He told Hatton TV that he still doesn't think his push was illegal. What do you think ?

Re: Amir Khan demonstrates the push that cost him his titles
He's clearly lying. It wasn't a little nudge, it was a big push which he was warned about several times before the point was deducted which was proven by the vid that somebody compiled on youtube.
He needs to stop being bitter, get his re-match and right the wrongs

I have always been a fan of Khan's but he is delusional, think its been tallied up as 51 pushes if I have read it correctly, he deserved all he got for me. You should be fighting your way out of that position, dont push the other guy away when he's working, that can't be right no matter how you dress it up.
Wants the decision overturned now by all accounts, which makes him sound even more stupid, I realise the request is probably just to ehnance the rematch call in case Peterson tries to decline but why would Peterson not want a rematch, Bradley did a number on him so no reason to want to go down that path again he must think he can do something similar to Khan and it will pay better.
Really disappoints me the way sportsmen in general cannot take a defeat, there is always something, even a poor winning performance prompts a well I had the flu or injured my right hand prior to, just get over it guys, we all fornicate up and get things wrong, just admit the bugger.
Peterson is being overlooked here and not getting enough credit for performing very well in a fight where few gave him a chance, with his story of early life as well, full credit to the guy
let him enjoy his win and Khan you need to wind your neck in son and take it on the chin.

Re: Amir Khan demonstrates the push that cost him his titles
I agree he's not telling the truth. He wasn't pushing to avoid Peterson's head, he was pushing because he lacked the skills to fight his way out. I don't see how he's going to learn to fight inside in time for a rematch but his outside game is so effective I think he could still reverse the outcome. Any talk of him fighting Mayweather though is just hilarious. Mayweather would humiliate him.
