    Where have I ever said Peter was a better fighter than Tyson??

    Are you willing to accept that Marciano could have possibly had more one punch power than Tyson??

    Bigger opponents than Tyson did, remember concerning power and chin size is the defining factor just like it is comparing Tyson and Marciano.

    No comparison. Not in the same class. Shavers was better than Peter and Holmes beat the hell out of him. Holmes would shut out Sam Peter if not stop him late.

    Err maybe because Peter fought in a weak era and lost to two all time greats in the Klit brothers.

    Put it this way, both Peter and Tua would have knocked out the same opposition as Tyson did.

    no they wouldn't have and if we did a thread on it, most knowledgeable posters would agree with me.

    So now, after realising you have no answer to me, you come out with the poor excuse that Peter fought in a poor era. That he did.

    So how does knocking over cans make him a better puncher than Tyson?
