    Where do you think this will place Peter's ranking now?

    I always thought that he was unfairly ranked, that the questionable excitement he was generating was placing him higher in the rankings than his achievements would realistically dictate.

    But even though he lost soundly last night (all three judges gave him three rounds? I only gave him two) he stayed in there for twelve rounds with a reborn "heir apparent" and was only wobbled once. What's more he scored three KDs, even if the first two weren't legitimate.

    I could imagine this guy troubling some of the other contenders out there... so has he, in losing, finally earnt his place in the top ten?

      he did good, too be honest the fight with wlad was a mismatch when it comes to experience.

      but hey he is young, and has a chin, this is by no means the end of peter.

          True, but please people admit there is something wrong wirth Wlad`s chin! What would a prime Tyson have done to him or a Lennox lewis? It would have been over in one or two rounds! Wlad won yes but he is by no means a safe bet for any one!

            85 mil in my account now.

            Does Wlad have the worst chin by far? People slate Lennox, but it's nowhere NEAR like Wlad's. Lewis was tagged by Tyson and didn't go down, for God's sake.

                  Just processing the UK version of it that was on SKY today. From what I've heard they (esp. Jim Watt, a former pro boxer) come down harder on Wlad for all the holding.

                    This is not really a suprise, i thought Peter would lose once he came up against a good technical boxer, although it seems as though he gave a good account of himself, and showed he had a good chin.
