Samuel Peter. His chin is made of Iron, He's one of the hardest punchers I've ever seen if not the hardest, and his will is inpenetrable. you need to understand that he went the full 12 rounds with an absolute monster with accuracy in Wladimir Klitschko. He absorbed a tremendous amount of punishment, that hardly any heavyweights could withstand. None actually....except Peter. he also has zero boxing skill. he looks like a fucking retarded amateur. the only reason that everyone he fights doesnt just tee off is because of that punch. but if that punch is so mighty how did lamon brewster and corrie sanders take out klitschko and peter couldnt? down, yeah, but not out. plus, as tough as he is, everyone has a limit for punishment. he can keep getting popped all night, but it will add up eventually. look at a guy like frazier who took 2 or 3 to land one, it really fucked him up over time. plus he could box, he just chose to use that style. he didnt get his head popped all night because he was a terrible fucking boxer, like peter is. yeah, heavyweights have to have a punch, but its like saying a car has to have wheels. heavyweights have a punch, pretty much all the time. dont let a loser like chris byrd fool you, any heavyweight worth his jock will have a punch. but the name of the game is boxing, not punching, in the end. theres been plenty of big punchers through history that didnt become champs, and its because they werent good enough boxers. YOU CANT KNOCK THEM ALL OUT, no one ever has. the first guy who is a decent boxer withstood the storm and boxed him to pieces over the course of the fight. take a look at peters record, a bunch of fucking nobodys! the second best fighter on his record is taurus sykes! brock has enough pop, hes got heart, a good chin, and pretty fucking good boxing skills, considering the overall heavyweight skill level right now. he doesnt have too great of a resume either, though, cliff etienne doesnt count and mccline looked unusually shitty in their fight. tom yankello is a great trainer and has gotten a lot out of not much. hes about as good as he'll ever get, and thats not good enough. still, hes light years beyond peter. neither of these guys would has a chance in hell only a few years ago, and forget about it before that, but with schmucks like valuev and liakhovich holding belts, they may become "champions" after all.

i have seen alot of manfredos fights he has a really good chin. all lacy has is power and a chin i respect him but i see more losses in lacys future. you must be a fucking psychic. hey, i see a loss in joe calzaghes future, and a lot more than 1 loss in manfredos future. fighters lose fights, no great boxer ever was totally undefeated, except marciano. all lacy has is power and a chin?? are you serious? well, if you teach him how to box and move he'll have everything. lacy is only 28, hes got a great fucking trainer in dan birmingham, and hes not a punk in any way. he comes to fight, he works hard and he listens and learns. hes gonna be the super middle champ as soon as he gets a rematch with calzaghe. what does manfredo have? hes got that bullshit padded record, why? doesnt he have any pop or a good chin? ive watched him fight and i know hes not a very good boxer. if he hadnt been handled like a golden egg he'd be just another club fighter. dont get me wrong, hes a nice guy, but him and lacy are in different universes in terms of boxing.

he looked like shit, it was beyond pathetic. it doesnt do him any good to be that big, if he wanted to be the most effective heavyweight he could be he would aim for 200. he must figure that it doesnt matter since theres no limit, so yeah, he is a fat, lazy slob. by the way, did anyone see the thread from a couple weeks ago a guy started saying he saw james toney going to burger king? i figured at the time the guy was full of shit, but i guess not...

this is a stupid fucking fight. lacy would kill manfredo. manfredo couldnt outbox lacy any more than he outboxed the other chump-tenders. hes got no height advantage, lacys got a better reach, lacy could probably thump with at least the cruisers, while manfredo is a puffed up middle. the only guys manfredo ever beat were frankie randall, who was washed up about 12 YEARS AGO, and scott pemberton, who was either a shot to shit fighter or he had a little extra ESPN money in his trunks that night. he looked beyond shitty against manfredo, too shitty. leave the fantasy fights to fantastic fighters, not chumps like manfredo

chris byrd is a joke, he sucks, hes always been a friggin joke. look what happened to him tonite. ive been saying it as long as hes been around, he is pathetic.

not yet. he hasnt ducked anyone, but he hasnt done everything he could to get the big fights. is that frank warrens fault? i dont know, but he will have to take on a new weight class to make his mark. He can take tarver, but he'll get beat up to do it, tarver is bigger and stronger by a lot. and before the lacy fight i would have said forget about hopkins and RJjr, but now that his name has some more marquee and $$$ attached, he might get those fights. calzaghe roy jones would be a good fight.

sturm, klitschko and mayweather are easy picks to win. sturm is way underrated, byrd is overrated and mayweather is the best in the universe right now. de la hoya and toney have both got a lot of fight on their hands, granted mayorga isnt the best boxer, but he is a bull and will push de la hoya more than ever before. toney better hope that he gets the rahman from rahman lewis 2 not 1, cause this is his first real heavyweight fight, ruiz didnt count. wright-taylor is a tough fight, im not betting a dollar, it seems too close to me. i think its gonna be a stinker with wright getting the nod, possibly by split decision.

Juarez looked good for a while, but he was eventually exposed, and I think Barrera would dominate the entire fight for an easy decision. I wouldn't mind seeing it, though. i agree, he'd get his ears boxed off by barrera, but that left hook of his is dynamite, would be a good fight to see

i dont care, i didnt even bother reading the interview. all i want is the fight, the time for barrera pac 2 has come. MAKE IT HAPPEN, its gonna be a fucking awesome fight!

Tito's left hook is simply nasty. It's not like he's a big strong guy...what he is...is wirey. He throws the left hook so fast, it adds knockdown power at the end of the punch. Speed = Power. Trinidad's left hook is the fastest, most blinding punch in his arsenal...and is generally regarded as a boxing trademark as far as he is concerned. thats true, plus most importantly hes got PERFECT form, too bad winky wright didnt get to feel it though.

very nice, very well written. Ill buy a copy when the book comes out, no question.

gamache is a fuckin pussy. i cant blame him for the lawsuit against the NYAC, with that he was just trying to get some money. because the guy is a washed up 2nd rate boxer, whats he gonna do for the rest of his life? go ahead and get paid off the commission. but for him to sue gatti too is fucked up. he needs to take his loss like a man.

james toney knew his roll sam peters knew his the judges knew theres shits fixed no doubt are you fucking retarded?? you seriously think james toney knew he would lose? maybe the judges were, they could have just been stupid like you, not criminal. but no way ANY fight was ever fixed as much as you say, both fighters, managers, judges. you had two judges who did a bullshit job and we're never gonna know if they did it on purpose or not. man, take your pessimistic conspiracy theory garbage somewhere else. fucking retard

I agree to the judges that Peter won 4 of first 5 rounds. Thats exactly how I scored the fight. your nuts, anyone who thinks peter won that fight is nuts. i cant believe the kind of bullshit people will spit out. theyve got to be lying, because if they ACTUALLY believe peter won, they dont know shit about boxing and should pick another sport to follow

why the hell isnt Tyson on there, you are a dumbass if you have Holyfield before tyson no, tyson was no way dirtier than holyfield. yeah, he bit off a chunk of holyfields ear, but holy started it with the butts. plus you can count the number of fights tyson did something dirty in on one hand, and theres no way he was gonna get away with shit because he had the bad reputation from the bullshit rape charge. plus those fights, holyfield 1,2, frans botha and mcbride, were all later in his career. think about it, is there one fucking incident at all of him doing something dirty before the holyfield fights? nothin, he even got the shit kicked out of him by douglas and didnt go dirty. holyfield was a dirty fighter his whole fucking career. from the way high belt to leading with his head in EVERY fucking fight, to hitting low all the time. and he did it especially in big fights, even early in his career. go watch the qawi fight and you will see him doing the same shit as ever, hitting low, butting, pushing. you need to relax on tyson, its clouding your judgement, either that or youre the dumbass because you obviously havent watched many of tyson or holyfields fights.

all that mma and k1 shit is fucking retarded, especially if a gigantic guy like sapp is the king of it. hes slow as molasses in winter, and he was so winded after the fight i wouldnt be surprised if tyson gave him a heart attack before he knocked his goofy ass out.

tough to say the dirtiest ever... definately holyfield is up there joel casamayor is like a fucking dirty trick artist larry holmes was a pretty dirty fighter, got away with a lot zab judah is dirty even when hes not flipping out

Mike Tyson was actually a very clean fighter. He never fought dirty. Only when Holyfield continued to use his head as a fist for 14 rounds did he decide to do something about it. Biting the ear was wrong but I guess Tyson just hand enough. what about trying to break frans bothas and mcbrides arms? and he supposedly bit mcbride on the nipple. plus he winged elbows and thumbs back at holyfield in the second fight. youre right though, tyson wasnt a dirty fighter, until he got frustrated or started to lose, then he was absolutely a dirty fighter.

gatti mayweather gets my vote. it was worse than gatti delahoya. gatti's face looked like the cutlets im using for my veal parmesan tomorrow, pounded flat. the next day he must have looked like one of those monkeys with the swollen red ass! still, the heart he showed was powerful stuff

good question to ask. i cant believe nobody mentioned chris byrd yet. one of the funniest things about a joker heavyweight class. no way mayweather is overrated, p4p #1 in the world and hes still UNDERrated.

easy call, lewis by ko, doesnt take any longer than 5.

hey, how about alphabetizing the thing? i would like to rate this guy or that guy, but i dont want to wade through page after page to find them

I'll belive vitaly and whoever the doctor is, i dont think hes ducking rahman. that doesnt mean i dont think hes a punk anyway. how can he quit like this? its bullshit, if he was the champ he would take the time to heal, then set up the fight again. the reason for the fight in the first place was to find out who the real champ was, the only guy who beat lewis, versus the guy who couldve if not for the cut. for him to quit is pathetic, he should go take up pingpong, leave boxing to the real men. man, this is more bullshit which is a result of lewis being a punk when he retired and not giving vitaly a rematch. we thought we could find out who a champ was without lewis, now its even more screwed up than ever. one cowardly acts leads to another.

i dont like it, its NOT boxing if they are doing only four rounds. thats fucking stupid, it ends up being like the ultimate fighting things. why even put it on a boxing site? it just proves how sorry the heavyweights are right now if the big names agree to this, its all about the money and not about real boxing. i think this is a bad thing to hype up boxing, it is too pop culture-ish. there are already too many champs for too many divisions, add this shit to the mix and none of the sometime followers of boxing will become fulltime followers. they wont be able to get into the matchups, itll be too confusing. boxing needs fewer divisions and one or none for the alphabet gangs.
