This is a good match I want to see, I think Peter can win but Wlad is the more likely.
Wlad Klitschko vs Sam Peter II... What are the thoughts?

everyone saying Peter will win is doing so for the same reasons I said Peter would win in 2005. Wlad can't take a punch (still true), Peter will eventually catch him (maybe not), etc. Wlad is a MASTER HUGGER now. I did not count on this at all going into the first fight, but Wlad is a completely different fighter after Brewster. He holds better than anybody in boxing not named Ricky Hatton, which is why he is so ****ing boring now. Wlad hugs and hits his way to a dominating win on points.Comment

AND a great point being made by those picking Klitschko is that Peter is not the iron-chinned son of a ***** we all thought he was going into the first fight. Peter's chin isn't great by any means. He could totally be knocked out, but I don't think Wlad will try because, well, he's become a huge *****. If you won't try to knock out harmless little Ibragimov, who the **** will you try to KO?Comment

Yeah I was extremely confused why he didnt try to knock out Ibragimov... Even after Brewster he went and took care of business against Austin and Brock who are at least as dangerous.
Wlad will win this fight and its up to him how he does it: KO or boring UD.Comment

I think every sensible person on here can definitely see that Peter has significantly improved his shape and boxing ability since they first met, especially after James Toney.. Sam obviously had the power to put Klit down but not the boxing ability to follow up with it, back then. What happens now? I still say Klitschko is the obvious superior boxer, but with this improvement in Peters ability, can he follow up now?
I would most likely still favor Klitschko in this fight... but I wouldn't feel very safe betting on it.. I think Sam Peters power is the most powerful in the division... more raw power though.. as I think wlad has a better form and tecnique to his punches.. People complain about sams rabbit punches but a lot of it is blown out of proportions... he does throw over right hands instead of straight right hands.. more of a chopping punch, but a lot of his opponents bend forward or to the side and cause the rabbit punching themselves... imo anyways.. The thing that I like about this fight is, I think Sams ability to take a punch, aside from Jameel mcclline (whatever happened there?) or rather, his ability to take Klitschkos punches at least... and the lack of chin Wlad has shown against Sams punches... That makes this fight pretty intriguing to me..
If the fight happens, I got 100K on Wlad, you want the bet?Comment

Wlad by late round stoppage. Wlad did work on his uppercut and this time around the tactic against Peter will be a little different. He would control Peter with his jab, then let him in and open him up with a right uppercut.Comment

Most of Peter's improvements in skill were prior to the Klitchko bout, not after. He was also in the best shape I've ever seen him in for that fight.
Honestly, I don't think Peter will last past 6 or 8 in a rematch, if Klitchko even gives him one. The reality is that Peter doesn't really deserve one. His claims to fame in that fight were; a single actual knockdown, repeated blows to the back of the head, having two pushes/fouls ruled as KD's in his favor, and being lucky enough to not get KO'd when he was ready to go late. And still, even with all this help, he lost by a far wider margin than I'd ever think was deserving of a rematch.
Anyway, my opinion, he doesn't deserve a rematch, but if he's lucky enough to get one, he gets KO'd before the opening bell of 10.
Incidentally, I don't care how old Vitali is...if he takes a match with Peter, that big Nigerian won't last 4 rounds. Vitali is a predator of the highest order. I don't give a **** if he's so old he has to park his walker outside the ring, he'd still be eating Peter's raw liver and drinking his blood by the end of 3. Peter is a big guy, ****s with the best of 'em and has genuinely improved since his early days, but he's too hittable and too slow to deal with Vitali. The guy is just plain scary.
I think Peter will come into his own within the next few years, but he can't handle either Klitchko right now.Comment
