Quotes from Lamont Peterson

I just love to fight, and regardless of who I'm fighting, I want to be at the top level.

That's just the business of boxing. Things just turned out that way. I don't think it was any particular reason. I had opportunities to fight in bigger fights, but things just didn't always work out.
