    Sam Peter was highly regarded by many fans on these websites and by many sportswriters.

    Why did the opinions of The Nigerian Nightmare change so much after the fight?

    Why is it so difficult for people to give Vitali credit?

        I only care about my opinion. Peter was, and always will be complete garbage. And the reason why people don't give Vitali credit is obvious. Who has he beaten?? No-one mate. He has not proved his class cos he has NEVER beaten a top class opponent.

          he was the second best heavyweight in the world and alot of people picked him to knock Vitali out and then knock Wlad out in a rematch

          its hard for people to give a great white fighter any credit

            Whoever he beats, you'll then say that fighter is bum, no matter how highly regarded he was beforehand!

            You know, the same as they do to Joe Calzaghe.

              Pavlik>>>>Sam Peter

              Pavlik was highly regarded, the best fighter in his division, young, impressive and just an outstanding fighter. Can you say the same about peter? Keep in mind, Pavlik is white, since you whine all day about whites getting no respect, what argument do you have?

                Vitali should receive all the credit for stopping Peter though this proves that the division is **** when the old champ comes back after 4 years to own the young lion that seemed to many as the savior of the division

                    You're a spacker. You can't debate your point so you bring Calzaghe into it. Sad.

                      Hopkins gave a great performance - no doubt about it.

                      I made a thread about it the night of the fight:

                      Talk about anything boxing related here. Where the boxing discussion is always Non Stop!


                      Why can't people give Vitali credit like that? Because they don't have the class or good sportsmanship to do it?
