we need more fighters like this guy...

we all have to agree tho that Sam Peter is Notn Speical, he is a one trick pony, his movement is awful, if we where in any other period in boxing we would not be even talking about him at this moment untill he steps up a few levels opponent wise,

Peter and Brewster are my two fav hw's.When it comes to them scorecards be damned they are looking for the knock out.

When you're only 5'9", slow moving, and grossly out of shape, sometimes skill isn't enough. You realize the effect a Samuel Peter body punch would have on Toney right? He wouldn't need to land on James's head. Also, have you noticed that the first time Toney fought a good puncher in Rahman (who didn't throw many big punches) he lost? Toney will never take a fight with S. Peter or anyone who can really punch.

Samuel Peter puts some fun back into heavyweight boxing, and for that reason he's one of the best guys out there for the sport. I just hope he can control his weight and come in a good 20 pounds lighter than how he showed up tonight.

Samuel A lot of guys are gonna think Long is terrible. But he isnt THAT bad, he was simply outclassed. I'm looking forward to another fight of his. I see good things for Peters future. Noone else caught that? Long is a God awful boxer to be shown on even ESPN. he loses 1/4 of his fights. Isnt his rec like 14-8 now? I could be long as I havent actaully looked it up. Also on whose rankings is Toney in third? I thought it was universally similar to this Wlad Sergei Brewster Rahman Valeuv Byrd Toney EDIT just looked up longs rec, even worse than i thought. http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=030144 Same rec but he loses to god aweful boxers aswell. Samuel Peter shouldn't move up in rank at all, this fight was to hype him because Long is huge and people actually know him because he is huge. He beat a bum that has name recognition, because he is tall.

When an out of shape 37 year old former middleweight, that's injury prone is in the top three of the Heavy Weight division, you have to ask yourself just how good this generation of heavy's really is. ** Actually, you have to question the rankings. Fattyboy Toney is shot and has yet to beat a prime heavy contender. Briggs and Peter would knock him into KFC across town.

Peters skills are limited. But there is no one I would rather see fight.

good post homie and I agree. We need big guys in HW that are exciting and can pop. Cmon, we need the new Lewisss, Tysons and Holyfields. Seriously, enough wit the likes of Byrd who belong in Cruiserweight, and boring boxrer like John Ruiz, AND the joke Valuev.

Peter has a ton to work on IMO before becoming a dominating force in the heavyweight division. He's good but I don't know he would do against someone faster than him, who can take some punches, and doesn't let him really get inside.

a lot of people may think its fine, but its still very unpopular. For me, i dont enjoy watching a bunch of fatasses roll around the ring until one falls down. Some fighters in HW are in great shape, and they tend to be the more exciting ones. Peters seriously looks like he could make the HW have a great comeback. WE NEED FIGHTERS LIKE HIM. as much of a "chump" as many think he is... he is also very exciting and powerful. Fans like both. And i definetly agree with the above poster. He needs better competition.

Samuel Peter. We gotta get more heavyweights like this guy if we want that division shaping up. He's exciting, he's powerful, and he knows how to fight. If he learns how to handle himself better, and learns how to move around the ring a little better, then he will be great. GREAT IF we can get like 4-5 guys like him in the heavyweight division, i can see a great comeback for Heavyweights, and a great comeback for the entire sport! IMO, we just watched a champion fighter tonight on Friday Night Fights, and he fought an okay fighter. A lot of guys are gonna think Long is terrible. But he isnt THAT bad, he was simply outclassed. I'm looking forward to another fight of his. I see good things for Peters future. peter needs to stop being a pussy and should fight a worthy opponent
