Sam Peter vs. Robert Helenius on April 2

[Sparked_1985]

Sam Peter is not a good fighter at the top-level.

Never has been.

I'm not usually negative about the boxers who are on the top-level by for me Peter was always the indicator in a weak heavyweight division - he's just not good.

Helenius broke his hand early in that fight.

I was impressed by how well he fought with a broken hand.

That's the only one of his past few fights where he didn't stop his opponent. Interesting how that's the fight you mention.

That reveals you have a bias against him.

What are you suggesting, I clearly mentioned that fight because he struggled and didn't look good, even in his other fights he looked very sloppy and simple both he and Sam Peter are bad fighters IMO.

It depends whether you judge boxers by how shapely their bodies are or how well they fight.

Being heterosexual, I judge them by how well they fight.

Helenius has been been fighting impressively so far, so I'm a fan.

Exactly. And physics vary from person to person, not everyone can get ultra-ripped. It's in the genetics.

Being heterosexual, you go to nude beaches to observe mens penises, no?

No, I've never gone to a nude beach to observe mens' penises.

You posting that in this forum reveals you are a troll who we shouldn't take seriously.

tough to predict.peter has 3 fights vs the best hw's of the present.hes fought both klits,maskaev,toney twice,chambers...peter isnt very old but numerous times i have heard peter could be a little older then his "birthday" is listed at.helenius has looked very good & has some decent wins vs levin & brewster(shop worn but name none the less).this is a huge fight for both peter & helenius.helenius wins hes right in the mix for a title shot in the next year & peter is religated to gatekeeper.if peter wins it really makes the hw division in no better shape.i think its important for the division to have helenius win because the division has been in transition since the 90's.there needs to be new blood in the mix.vitali is close to done.if haye does retire then we need some new guys because the class of 2000 didnt produce the next fleet.boytsov,povetkin,solis,dimitrenko,helenius,p ianeta,pulev are the next of the bunch & we need them to have some big fights & wins.solis & dimitrenko have already had hiccups so i think this helenius\peter fight is huge...

I'm looking forward to this fight.

A win over Sam Peter will raise Helenius profile and he'll be regarded by most as a serious contender.

no doubt about it! Helenius is on a good way to a title shot!
I think he wins against peter !
The winner of this has to fight chambers next right?

Yes, to become the IBF mandatory.

Helenius-Chambers is much more interesting than Peter-Chambers II.

Helenius is a 2 to 1 favorite in the betting markets. I don't have an opinion on who will win, because I have never seen Helenius fight. I just think it is interesting that most here think Peter will be too much, yet you can get 2 to 1 on your money betting on him.
