Peter vs. Toney Could Have Been Better

[potatoes]

your clearly asking for too much here. were talking a powerful but crude fighter in peter and a 38 yr old former middleweight defensive specialist in toney,,,now did you actually think the fight could be better? it clearly surpassed expectations. be thankful for what you got

I have never once criticized Sam Peter for not being a brilliant boxer, and I am well aware that he will never become the next Joe Louis. Nevertheless, Rocky Marciano didn't have Joe Louis's talent either, but that didn't prevent him from windmilling knockout punches for 15 rounds. Is it too much to ask a so called "professional" boxer to get in shape for his fights?

The article doesn't seem to be popular, but I still think it raises good points. Lennox Lewis was sometimes criticised for being too cautious, but more often than not, if the chance of a knockout appeared, Lennox took it. Someone mentioned the Ike vs Tua fight, that's what it should be about, two athletic warriors going at it relentlessly.
