Sam Peter has displayed great punching power, and that's it. He hasn't fought anyone yet but should have a punchers chance against anyone in the division. I haven't seen him fight much, but from what I've seen and read, He needs to develope every aspect of his game.

Alright, in your opinion, do you feel that him stepping up the level of competition will help him mature as a fighter and allow him to have patience or will he just get exposed as a fraud?
Another question.
If Peter develops a jab and not just throw it to throw it, but throws it to set up power shots, how dangerous could he become?
He needs a fast, crisp jab, which he might develop. In this case Peter will become as dangerous as Rahman.
Currently, Peter is like Rahman without jab, but Rahman's skill level is not that great. Peter, on the other hand, has had a good amateur career and might be able to reach a better skill level in a couple of years.
I would think Peter in his prime will be better than Rahman, but not becasue of improved jabbing.
Torino, I respect your opinion but you're too pro-Klit especially pro-Wlad. And I dont know why to be honest.
I didn't forget about what Wlad did before Sanders. He's still must have retained some of that experience. He just got KO'ed. Like practically every other fighter.

I think Peter could be good. I just think he needs a little more development. A little more time. A few more fights.
Here's something you Wlad fans need to understand about fighters.....if they are in their late twenties, & have been fighting for a long time...they will have a terrible time developing new things.
Wlad is NOT going to develop much better defense, for real. Sure, in the early rounds, he'll remember to move that upper body a bit, showing us all what he just learned. But, when the pace picks up & he doesn't have time to THINK....his defense will unravel. Throw some fatigue in there & he becomes a sitting duck.
You, his fans, can only hope he gets all of his opponents out of there before they get to him or make him really fight.
There is a theory going around that Wlad started to suffer anxiety attacks after the Sanders fight. One of the symptoms of these attacks is shortness of breath. This would certainly explain his lack of stamina.
This is just a conjecture. There is no hard evidence that I know of to back it up.
