Two interesting articles concerning IBF Junior Welterweight champion Lamont Peterson as we get closer to Saturday's title defense against Dierry Jean at the DC Armory. First, RingTV.com's Lem Satterfield poll a number of boxing writers about how they see Saturday's contest. There are some interesting opinions here:

Although I've never won a title I understand that feeling of being bitter towards the sport...My cousin retired at 32yrs old 2x world champion 36-4 because of the dirt in boxing it's sad man...it's like lamont said you love the sport but coming in this isn't what we signed up for. I feel lamont is a true champion who deserve his just do.
For those who don't know, his cousin is Maurice Blocker, one of the greats from the Beltway region.
