Samuel "The Nigerian Nightmare" Peter, says "I just want a chance to show what I can do." However, he has one small problem, nobody wants to fight him. Peter is blessed with dynamite in both hands and appears to have tremendous natural strength. Two things needed to compete at the top of the heavyweight division. The downside is, it's hard getting other heavyweight's to fight him. He's too good to take a risk against being embarrassed by in the ring and he's not established enough that beating him clears the path to a title shot.
This time last year, Samuel Peter was an up and coming heavyweight prospect who was thought to have tremendous potential because of his two-handed knockout power. There hasn't been a single era in boxing history that a knockout puncher wasn't embraced by both boxing and sports fans. This is because heavyweights who have legitimate knockout power are rare. If a decade produces two, that's a lot. Regardless of what some believe, punchers are born. They can't be manufactured in the gym or by strict weight training program, even one that includes steroids. If it turns out heavyweight Samuel Peter, (4-WBC & 5-IBF) is a legitimate knockout artist, that leaves three more heavyweight champions in the division (4) than there are authentic knockout artists (1).
