Those would be two good, competitive fights. He could also fight Tua. Timur Ibragimov and Oliver McCall are fighting June 15th according to BoxRec, maybe he could fight the winner too. Rematch with Chambers. Shannon Briggs. Lots of options for him.
I like Sam Peter, he’s not a ‘world beater’ but he’s fun to watch nonetheless. Right now, Sam Peter is in the ‘rebuilding’ stage in his career. After losing badly to Vitali Klitschko last year and then to Eddie Chambers, Sam got back to basics and started KO’ing medicre opponents again. After a quick three wins, Sam slightly stepped up his level of opposition by fighting Nagy Aquilera (guy who made his name by retiring Oleg Maskaev) and knocking him out, in impressive fashion, in two rounds…
Since the Aquilera fight, which was back in March, Sam Peter’s promoters have tried unsuccessfully to get a title shot against Wlad Klitschko and subsequently ‘shelved’ or sidelined.
So, what’s next for Sam Peter? Does anyone think he can contend for a title again? What are some key matchups for him? Discuss….
Peter vs. Arreola would be a slugfest!
Peter won an eliminator for the IBF #2 spot, so he's qualified for the IBF final eliminator now.
I totally forget about Shannon Briggs. That's a great fight for Sam Peter...
Yeah it would be a good scrap, both need to step up their competition, because except Aguilera, who is decent, they've been beating questionable opposition, to say the least.
Any news on Sam Peter? I heard that his team was trying to line up a fight in July but haven't seen anything on that yet. Also, why is he sitting around on the sidelines? Fellow contenders Chris Arreola and Tomasz Adamek are back in action this summer so why not Sam Peter. It's a disservice to him; I think he's best when he's active and knocking guys out every several months...

I voted Dimitrenko. I think it'd be a good style matchup and if Peter wins (which he's more than capable of doing) he gets back into contention again. Plus, it'd be good experience of taking on a taller opponent if he really has his sights lined up on Wlad again. Thompson would be a good scalp as well. Other than that, Arreola or Tua would be fun for obvious reasons.
I wouldn't want to see him take on Chambers again. Think that's just a bad fight for him.
