Mandatory #1 Heavyweight challenger Samuel “The Nigerian Nightmare” Peter has jumped through so many of boxing’s circus hoops and waited so long to pounce on a heavyweight champion that he is already preparing diligently for the hunt of his dreams. Finally scheduled to challenge WBC King Oleg Maskaev on October 6 at Madison Square Garden, Peter began training a full eight weeks in advance of his big day. [details]

Full 8 weeks? Wow, as if it's something special, most(pro) fighters start preparing at about 2 months before the fight.
In other words, he is likely to come in less then stellar shape.Comment

who cares? he is always out of shape. sam peter looks like he swallowed rid**** bowe. he still gonna knock maskaev down 3 times before the ref stops it.Comment

yea he carries his weight pretty damn well but his stamina is really bad as in the Klitschko fight. If he'd come in 15-20 pounds less maybe he'd be more then a power puncher with a good chinComment

If Peter comes in around 250 or so, we might have some kind of a fight on our hands. If he comes in around 235-240, it'll be over pretty quick.
With him being inactive for so long, he'll probably come in around 260 and will be tired by second round.Comment

No way Oleg beats him, 260 or 230 Peter is going to win. More skilled more powerful bad stamina but he'll make it work for him. I'm waiting to see what he does beyond this fight, I dont know if Peter can get past Vitali but i haven't seen vitali fight in years so I don't know. Definetly will get past McCall or maybe a possible unification?Comment
