Sam Peter Wayyyy Overrated?

[Mech.]

Am I the only one who feels this way? Why is everyone so high on him? Just because he knocks guys out? To me, all he has is power. I havent seen any kind of skill from him, his D is bad, and he is badly out of shape. Is the HW division that bad so we have to boost this guy up?

Pretty much...

But yeah,he is 100% overrated he always gets KO's but i always think he looks like **** doing it,youre right about who could win it,either of them can,and that makes it kinda pathetic.

peter and lamon brewster are just like david tua: power, chin, aggression, and nothing else. just watch what happens when they meet some1 who can jab, move, and take a punch (no, not byrd).

there are only two differences:
1. brewster won a title when tua and peter didnt.

2. we know brewster and tua have solid chins, but we still dont know about peter's.

tua is the perfect example of what we will see when some1 tries to get by using nothing but power and toughness. even in a HW division as bad as this one, those two will not get you to the top.

Yeah, but I think if Peter loses to Klitschko, we can all admit he sucks.

As for him and Wladimire I dont know who will win. I think Wlad is shot and it wouldnt surprise me to see him get scared and Peter knock his block off. On the other hand it also wouldnt surprise me for Wlad to make him look like a C+ fighter. I think Wlad's speed can give him problems and if you can make it past the first 3 rounds then he looks really tired. I think Wlad could kill him after that.

Either way, this guy is no way near a good looking fighter to me. Maybe if he got in shape I would feel different but all he does is just walk around and throw a big punch to KO a bum

i think wlad ko's this guy

[TheEvilSaint]

heres what i think will happen in both situations:

if wlad wins, peter will be torn apart by the boxing public who will call him "overhyped, overweight, and another padded fighter". wlad stock as a fighter will skyrocket higher than ever before and will probly get a subsequent title shot against the IBF or WBO champion.

if peter wins, wlad will be totally erased from the HW scene and told to retire. peter will get the title shot instead of wlad. we'll finally know how well peter takes a punch.

GODDAMMIT!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THIS FIGHT!!!

either way, I think it's truly great how both men are putting their careers on the line in this one because let's face it: you lose to Klitschko, you're done. One more KO and Klitschko is done. it's a win-win situation for me since my two favorite heavys are Toney and Rahman. I'd love to see one of these guys get erased for good.

by the way, I also respect Wlad more than Vitali now because at least Wlad FIGHTS

[AintGottaClue]

pretty much what deigo said, we dont know how good peter can take a punch, we know how hard wlad can punch, and we know that his chin blows, one good wack from peter and its over, or one good whack from wlad and bye bye overrated peter, we shall see soon

I watched Peter vs. Diaz again today, and I gotta admit, if Diaz was a stronger puncher, that fight could have been real bad for Peter. Luckily, he took the few good shots Diaz could dish out and blew that troll out of the water. I think as long as Peter can take a punch (I think he can), then Klitschko is dead meat.

Wow, i actually agree with you for once.. What the hell??

The whole purpose of this fights is to prove two things. Is Samuel Peter the real deal and has Wladmir got over the shell lacking from corey sanders and Lamont Brewster. This is the best way to find out about both of them. One of the best made matches of this year, yesterday golden boy against the next mike tyson

should be fun
