    Foreman was a bit of a crude clubber too...

    Foreman was a very accurate puncher check out his demolition of Cooney! Ever see Peter's name listed among the great heavyweight punchers?

    not only that, but the claim was that they fall down as soon as they are hit, when they clearly dont.

    another BCS lie.

    I guess when all you got are lies, it makes no difference to him personally.

    Foreman was plenty crude though imo and generated insane power despite his technique. In any event, I don't dispute that Peter was cruder than Foreman, but I don't think he was the ridiculous caricature that gets discussed in this forum from time to time.

    For all his faults, the man hit extremely hard! And for what it's worth, were Peter a more skilled boxer, I bet he'd be very high up on plenty of the heavyweight puncher lists. If he had Liston's overall abilities and discipline, and could fight as many relatively slow 180-205lb men as Liston, I'd bet he'd be regarded as a legendary puncher.

    Briggs was a bigger hitter than Peters. Had better technique and speed too.

    You're making too much sense, here. This should not be allowed to happen.

    Somebody will come along soon and tell you that Liston's POWA was OVER 9000 and therefore untouchable. :rolleyes:

    Fact is that Liston's technique was miles better than Peter's and that played a bigger role in his success than brute strength.

    Herol and Dino are ****ing unbearable with their anti-Klitschko crusade. Every ****ing thread ends up being about Wlad or Vitali and how awful they were :facepalm: You just can't have a normal conversation in this poisonous atmosphere.

    yeah becos YOU posting about sam peter has NOTHING to do with K bros, yeh? course it does, so anyone replying is going to cover the ground you started. Stop blaming others for your OWN faults.

    keep pushing your argument about a retiring 50something, you are on such a winner.
