People are calling Sam Peter a quitter and ridiculing him for his performance against Vitali.
How many people could do any better with Vitali's quick, hard jabs and hooks peppering them in the face for 8 rounds? I think poor Sam did the best he could.
I have only one criticism of Sam Peter - he would have been a better heavyweight if he kept his weight down at 235 or so. He carried 20 unnecessary pounds around in the ring, and that surely slowed him down and affected his stamina.
Sam is a nice guy, as we could see after the fight when he was a good sport and warmly congratulated Vitali. Watch this video of him singing a song thanking Jesus in a post fight-interview:

Rabbit puncher or not, I can't help but like him after seeing that.
Roy was talking mad shit about fighting the Klits before the Tarver loss.
He would still be in the coma they would've put him in.
He's smart he didn't go for anyone else after Ruiz.
Ouch.
Didnt know that lol he would have been murdered.
The HW divison is not bad. :smashfrea
The Klitschkos just make everyone look bad.
Nope the Klits are above everyone of them but the rest are truely bad....and am not talking about the Haye,Dimitrenko,povetkin (I would leave this 3 out) but the rest a fat and slow.
Thats why a quick roy jones was able to fight someone like John ruiz and beat him to the punch while getting out of th way of punches thrown back at him, Do you think RJJ would have done the same to someone like Vitali/Wlad??
Of course alot of people picked Peter but going into the fight Vitali was made the favourite, I knew Vitali would win but also thought he wouldnt be able to handle a 12 round fight since he hasnt been in the ring for 4 years.
Vitali has only been 12 round once in his pro career, So i thought he would try/KO peter early on, Peter IS a good fighter considering how bad the HW are at the moment.

A lot of people pick Sam. Shit it's not like he's a bum, he was 30-1 and his only lost was to Wlad. I had Sam ranked as the #2 HW before last night. But I knew Vitali would put Sam away.

Even though i KNOW you're trying to play a joke thinking you're clever you failed miserably, Most people know i dont give a toss about the HW or sam peter for that matter.
So have been on here for about 3 years and didnt talk about any HW or peter until recently and that makes me a fan!!! You're just trying to make a case for vitali and am sorry you cant find anyone who backed peter to actually win, I know that hurts you real bad but because i follow boxing and not nuthugging like you do i was able to see all the advantages Vitali had coming into this fight.
And like i said before only people like you would try to elevate sam peter into an all-time great just to make Vitali look better...Have seen that with you everytime Wlad beat people like calvin brock or ray austin recently and against a half-blinded Brewster..

He's one of about 50 or so I follow, and never in my top 10 or even 25 favorites. I never had him on my sig, although he's one of about 50 fighters I've had in my ever-changing avatar.
Peter was raycorey's favorite heavyweight.
I still root for Joey Abell, I never trash him the way raycorey is now trashing Peter, and wish him the best - he's a nice guy who's had to overcome a very serious football injury to become a boxer.
I never stopped rooting for Wlad after he lost to Sanders and Brewster.

The HW division is a ****ing joke, I'm glad i didn't watch that fight live. It was ****ing poor!
Am glad i didnt watch the fight live as well, It was a poor fight but i can understand how a vitali fan would feel after seen him last night after 4 years out.
Dunno ray its helped ricky hatton win a few
LOL never saw that coming...
Peter should have hired Billy Graham as a trainer for this fight.He really needed to get dirty and turn into a brawler
Yeah he could have try maul/brawler but he was just clueless..
Used his face to block punches!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
LOL i seriously cant believe this guy, He was getting tagged with the jab and a straight right and didnt even move his head.
You're a fair-weather fan. Don't you have ANY sense of loyalty to your fighter? I bet you're going to take him out of your sig soon...
Blackirish still has Tony Thompson in his avatar, and remains a fan.
Poor Sam was just overmatched against a great fighter.
Sam peter remains in my sig till i find someone who sounds as funny as him or Joshua clottey when they both speak, Its called sense of humour.
I dont care if peter was overmatch using your face to block punches isnt going to help you win a fight.
Why should we give the WBC heavyweight champion a pass??? He was slow, use his head has a defense shield and was plodding forward all night long.
Sorry he gets no pass from anyone except the Vitali clans.

The surrender looked bad cuz he was reduced to not really even tryin to win. He was just walkin around the ring gettin smacked up, like he just came to get a paycheck.
