You are Peter's promoter, what next?

[Mark 22]

They will get him another fight against a top 10 contender probably 3 to 5 fights. Might end of seeing a rematch between him and Wladimir Klitschko eventually, Peter as the challenger.

I have a su****ion that after the couple of knockdowns (legit or not) Peter's stock is not low. Look at all the interest this fight garnered. Good style or not he is still a puncher and knockout artist and as such is still watchable to the avaerage fight fan. IF Wlad is a top flight contender then Peter is all the easier to market (footage of him flooring a champion) and so I think that he may be more attractive to the bigger name fighters as a money fight. I could see Ruiz thinking to emulate Wlad's tactics (also trying to take advantage of a less confident and experienced Peter) or even a Tua coming out of the woodwork for a bigger profile fight to end his career on. One things for sure, with all the unreliable talent in the division as long as he avoids Vitali, Byrd and Wlad (again) for a couple of fights and trains constructively then he will be up towards the top of the rankings. However smart training seems rare in this division.

I say Peter as the challenger because I think Wladimir will take the IBF or WBO belts or both with relative ease.

If Peter's stamina could be improved he would be very difficult to beat because of his punch and chin. But I dont think anybody in the world has the lungs and heart to wing those kind of hard punches for 12 rounds. Which is Peter's limitation. And you cant really say he should fight at a more measured pace and box more because that is not what he is built for. He is built to attack and trade punches. He will I think for a long time be a dangerous opponent to anybody as any big puncher with a solid chin is. You have to be on top of your game as a boxer against those type fighter.

peter would kill briggs, they should make that fight...

[spinksjinx]

Get a trainer who can teach Peter how to box...he looked ridiculous winging away at Wlad with no discipline...he needs someone to teach him how to deal with boxers

The same trainer who trains Peter also trains Calvin Brock...I think the guy knows how to train a guy to box.

Peter is still a contender but needs much work! a fight between Peter and toney would be real nice!

[Derranged_]

If I was in charge of selecting Peter's next opponent I would have him feel a guy that I feel he could comfortably beat, but still be a step up over everyone he has faced other than Wlad.

I would have him fight a top 15-20 guy like Shannon Briggs or Sinan Samil Sam next January.

If I was Peter's promoter(which I would love to be), I would put him in against someone like Danny Williams, Oleg Mashaev, Vasily Jirov, or Monte Barrett in mid-to-late December on ESPN to excite all current or prospective fans. What I wouldn't do, is put him in against someone like Briggs who has just won his last three fights and is more experienced than Peter. I would also hire Kevin Rooney to train him because he(peter), has the body type, the power, and attitude like Tyson did when he was back in his prime.

Speaking of which, I don't see a fight with Kevin Mcbride to be a problem either. I think a fight between these two would get semi-decent ratings since Peter is an up and coming fighter and Mcbride has the publicity from beating(hopefully retiring) Tyson.
