Am I the only one who feels this way? Why is everyone so high on him? Just because he knocks guys out? To me, all he has is power. I havent seen any kind of skill from him, his D is bad, and he is badly out of shape. Is the HW division that bad so we have to boost this guy up?
As for him and Wladimire I dont know who will win. I think Wlad is shot and it wouldnt surprise me to see him get scared and Peter knock his block off. On the other hand it also wouldnt surprise me for Wlad to make him look like a C+ fighter. I think Wlad's speed can give him problems and if you can make it past the first 3 rounds then he looks really tired. I think Wlad could kill him after that.
Either way, this guy is no way near a good looking fighter to me. Maybe if he got in shape I would feel different but all he does is just walk around and throw a big punch to KO a bum
Rock, Paper, Scissors : Klitchko, Peter, Byrd
Styles make the fight. Peter could land the big one and Klitchko is not the most elusive fighter out there. And it's nighty night for Klitchko. However, Sam will hit mostly air against Byrd and lose by UD. But Klitchko has the right style to decision Byrd.
That's the way I see it. :)
I agree. It's all true. I guess it's all up to how much pounding Peter can take while trying to land the big one. It could also be the beating of a lifetime for the slow, defenseless Peter.
Sam Peter has displayed great punching power, and that's it. He hasn't fought anyone yet but should have a punchers chance against anyone in the division. Having said that, history has proven punching power may get you a title shot, and even a title, but it has never been enough to maintain a champion. I think I already know what to expect from Peter's career.
It is Wladimir that I'm most interested in seeing. I'm not concerned with Wladimir's skills, he is a far better boxer and much more experienced than Peter. This will be a test of Wlad's confidence. If Wlad is confident, he should make Peter look like a school boy, if not, he may end the fight on his back.
I gotta agree there, Sanders was deceptively fast and powerful. But still he didnt take boxing too seriously.
He in my opinion did well against Vitali but took too much punishment.
Corrie Sanders was semi retired, however possessed some of the quickest hands in the division, and he could thump too. Brewster is still a champ, Sanders got a title shot(lol, i dont know how) after KO'ing Wlad, but that Purrity guy, probably retired or something.
What gives me confidence in Peter is that an overweight beer-bellied sem-retired golfer (Corrie Sanders)shattered Wlads chin and confidence.
By the way, I wouldnt pick any of the people that beat Wlad to beat Peter. And by the way, none of the people that beat Wlad have gone on to bigger and better things. Thats very tell-tell if you ask me.

don't be so astonished. The guys that beat Wlad are all better than anyone Peter has faced. I'm not guaranteeing a win by Wlad, but that fact alone gives me confidence to bet.
Rakim sucks. Even Juelz is better than him
you officially have no credibility as far as hip hop is concerned. I bet you were cringing when you were trying to type that. lmao. Juelz.
It astonishes me that people can still bet on a guy who hasnt looked good in years and has lost to mediocre opposition.

Nowadays.....in ta heavyweight divison, all you need to be champ is power, and ta ability to take ta otha guys punches. and o ya, stamina(WLAD!!!!!). nyhahahahaha.
Cmon, tis is ta heavyweights. There aint no Floyd or Winky or BHop defenses here. Most of ta fights end in ta earlier rounds and decisions barely happen. That bein said, a perfect punch from Peter in round 1 could finish off Wlad! Sam Peter has ta needed things to be champ.
I KNOW WHACHU THINKING!!!!!!!!! What bout David Tua? LOL! Fuck outta here, Lennox Lewis retired. LOL. Seriously though, I miss Lenox kinda. Lenox really is ta best.
No, we cant say that. Losing to Wlad is not a shameful thing. He is one of the best fighters on the planet. Now, losing to, say....Gilbert Martinez, or Billy Zumbrum, or that Monaco guy, that is when you know you suck. Not losing to a fighter like Wlad.
WHAT?!?!?!?

You know, I can't wait for the next Cotto fight because I am really starting to worry about how much you and I seem to be agreeing with each other nowadays.
Peter hits hard that's all he has shown so far, I honestly see Wlad giving Sam the boxing lesson of a lifetime in their fight next month and earning an easy UD or maybe even a late ko.
well it depends on who and how he is rated!!!.....
he/his team will be demoted back to nigeria after the wlad fight..........wlad knows his own strengths and weaknesses, and at the same time knows his opponents.....so expect wlad to stay away from the raging bull for the first 4-5 rounds and then wlad will castrate him with a big KO.
yup yup. That's it right there.
Yeah, but I think if Peter loses to Klitschko, we can all admit he sucks.

I watched Peter vs. Diaz again today, and I gotta admit, if Diaz was a stronger puncher, that fight could have been real bad for Peter. Luckily, he took the few good shots Diaz could dish out and blew that troll out of the water. I think as long as Peter can take a punch (I think he can), then Klitschko is dead meat.
Well, all punches are not created equal, Diego. Being able to take a Gilbert Martinez punch or a Yanqi Diaz punch is NOT the same as being able to take a Wlad punch or a Tua punch.
Wlad has shown pressure and power are a mixture he doesn't do well with. Peter is going to use pressure and power on Wlad the whole 4 rounds or less it may go.
So if Wlad wins he is a bona fide contender again. People like to downplay performances but if Wlad wins by stoppage will be very good, considering all the negetative feedback he gets from fans over Brewster, Williamson fights. Or will people bitch like girls and say Peter was nothing. Because if he was nothing don't u think he would have gotten a title shot already ?
