    IMO if Wlad doesn't try to avenge his losses (he most likely won't) then he should go after Sam Peter. He's an inexperienced up and coming fighter with a punch, and there to be hit. I know Peter's people will most likely pass on that fight right now, Wlad should still try, you never know they might take it.

      i dont think he overlooked brewster.... he was killing him and punched himself out... partly due to the pace he was fighting at and partly due to the pressure brewster was applying...

          for boxing fans it would be an excting fight, but for wlad it would be dangerous one with little to gain... peter has beaten nobody and wlad will get little credit for defeating him... the wlad haters will say peter was a bum, who hadnt beaten anyone...

            wlad came with the wrong gameplan, he thought brewster was a stepping stone and that he could bomb him and the fight would be over. brewster proved everyone wrong

              I don't think he's afraid of them, but I do think Manny's training him to fight "scared" in order to pace himself and minimize the chance of getting caught. That was pretty evident in what Manny was telling him in between rounds in the TOS fight.

                he may be, i dont know, but i doubt it... the TOS knockdown was a flash and meaningless...

                  looks good on paper, but Dino Duva isn't gonna let his new cash-cow fight anyone good who doesn't already own a belt, Peter's gonna fight guys like Diaz & Sykes, then probably someone like TOS or Kirk Johnson by year's end, but definitely not the young Klitschko, possibly Vitali next year

                      wlad would have a ton to gain, peter is no bum and everyone knows he has power. a win over peter earns wlad a top 5-10 spot that could even earn him a title shot
