    Sam Peter apparently!


    There is a fairly large group of idiots who call him or use to call him Sam Peters. Even James Toney and Hopkins think his name is Sam Peters.

    I see Thai and Polish names are strongly representated:lol: No surprise really, work with many Polish guys and Polish names are not so hard to pronounce when you learn how they do it, but much worse to spell its truely a ****ing nightmare!

    aside from the usual thai or polish boxers, "pacquio" and "mosely" are two popular boxers that most ESB posters are struggling to spell.

    Tai fighters got the longest and hardest names to pronounce I've ever seen, but they also got the coolest names ever

    Poonsawat for sure

    Hlaathscwayo (sp? way off) is pretty tough until you hear it. Even then, some of those the commentators could be wrong as well...

    samson sotajatatoorong (the 1 who beat chiquita gonzalez in that epic war).
    jachiro tatayoshi hatakayama ....nearly all asian and east european fighters.

    but then again asian & east euro fight fans might consider John Smith to be a funny hard to prenounce name.
