he is still very worthy of his hype he can take some hard shots and just needs a little more stamina and he can finish top guys like he did lower level opposition.Simply got outboxed.

Yepp. Peter is still a force in the division. He is only 24, and still has a ton of fights in him obviously.

yeah the thing that will piss me off are people saying Peter was exposed or a fraud...I hope they understand that Peter was never expected to be the "boxer" in the division...the reason why HW boxing is so exciting because you have punchers like Tua and Peter who are one dimensional...but can hit the hell out of something with great chins...then you have boxers like Wlad who can box, but have questionable chins...

we basically saw what we expected tonight...

Sam with a great chin...

Sam with power...

Sam one dimensional...

Wlad with a dodgy chin, but it held up a bit better than expected...

Wlad with power...

Wlad with more skills...(which is the difference maker)

a good big mean beats a good big man...

If peter truly puts his heart into becoming champ I believe he can do it easily, and most likely unify. If he trains, loses weight, and most importantly developes his style better he'll run over everybody.

If this guy had the skill of Tyson, and was in shape, he would be a DEFINETE force in the division.

yeah just some conditioning and more technique in learning how to move his feet to cut off the ring...

I think he is a solid 240lber..so I don't expect him to just shred up...he is just a thick thick big man...not body builder...but natually born solid...

Sam Peter has an iron jaw...just took the best shots from one of the top 2-3 punchers in the division and was not rocked until the final round by perfect punches while fatigued and battered...and still did not go down...he will remain a force in the division...he keeps coming forward and I feel would destroy Ruiz for the WBA title (hopefully Ruiz wouldn't get it back some how), not sure if Byrd could fend him off because Peter is hella strong and keeps coming...uses his size...etc...

Wlad showed why he is probably technically the BEST HW out there...we saw what we expected...him to go down...but he showed what we didn't expect...better stamina...and he showed what I think a lot of us knew was still there...heart...

both men elevated from this...especially Wlad...Peter...he was outboxed...but who really was ****** enough to believe he is a boxer? just like Tua, we know what he is...he knows what he is...a power puncher with a great beard...he never called himself a masterful boxer...just a guy with a great chin and power...so while disappointed that he could not get inside more with his pressure...I didn't see anything that I didn't expect from him...

good fight that the division needed...good Cotto fight...

...Good post!!!
