Does Sam Peter need to be 257?

Here is Sam Peter when he was 20 years old, young and beautiful (to paraphrase Larry Merchant):




So where did the extra 40 pounds get him?

Nowhere. He needs to lose 'em ASAP. 230 is the highest that man should weigh, even with his frame.

I agree. 250 and up is just way too high for him. he needs to get down to at least 240. he's noticeably slower at 250 and up. I doubt he'll get any lower than the high 240's tho,,and even that isnt likely

[AKATheMack]

he looks ripped as **** he definitel needs to lose about 30lbs I doubt he would lose much power and would gain tons of speed

[titozhang]

yes ,he need to loss weight.

[TyrantT316]

well even if he did begin losing the weight...don't expect him to just all of a sudden show up at a fight at 235-240lbs...

I would expect something like that over a course of a few fights...

also keep in mind, he is naturally a very big man...he may have been 225-230, 6 years ago...but the HW body especially grows and matures...yes he could lose a bit...but don't expect a 26 year old HW man to just all of a sudden shed 40lbs just like that

Sam Peter claims to have knocked out the great Felix Savon while sparring. As to whether that is true, I can not say. Nevertheless, Sam Peter is a puncher and could easily knockout anybody if he gets a solid hit. If indeed he did knockout Savon he would have done it at a weight considerably less than when he knocked out Yanqui Diaz. So, I am still wondering why he needs all that extra mass?

[AKATheMack]

he could easily come in at 240 with some roadwork

Sam Peter needs alot more than "weight-management" to honestly defeat James... (at least from a technical standpoint)
