Watching the Sam Peter - Robert Helenius fight and the final-round KO, it seems pretty clear that Peter's chin is nothing close to what it used to be. It appears that the trilogy of losses to the Klitschko Brothers severely weakened the chin and resolve of the former Nigerian Nightmare. I still recall how Peter was going to "destroy" both brothers. It appears the Klitschko Brothers, along with Robert Helenius, have gotten the last laugh in this instance. "Who Next?" Sam Peter is next, it appears. For the heavyweight scrap heap.
Well, why not give Jameel McCline some credit since he put Peter down 3 times after the first Wlad fight? The loss to Wlad the first time gave people a false impression that he had some sort of iron chin. He has a decent chin today, like he always did.
His chin has clearly been dented. Not a chance in hell he could take as many shots as he did against Wlad in 2005. I think that fight took a lot out of him - mentally and physically.
Getting hit round after round by either brother does not do wonders for one's longevity let alone boxing career.
the only thing that shattered peters is an all you cant eat buffett. he was just a typical klitchco opponent ...past his best out of shape and designed to make him look good when are you guys gonna realise these 2 brothers you love rate lower than primo camerio in the heavyweight history
Sam Peter needs to dedicate himself to the game. He needs a good trainer to get him back on track....He wieghed in at 259!! For the K Bros fight he was 240 +/-!
The kind of face first fighter that Sam was, they don't have a great life in HW Boxing. Coming up he showed some very good Pop. But once it was shown how to beat him..it was olny a matter of time. In many of his fights, he took alot of punches. Hell even a soft hitting HW in James Tony Hit him alot in the first fight.
The HW division is as SOLID as ever. How many current heavies does the 1988 version of Holmes beat? How bout the 86 Spinks? How about 75 Shavers? How about 69 Liston? 51 Loius? The Klitschkos roll through that crowd, making stops at Ali/ Frazier/Louis/Baer/Dempsey/Foreman/Tyson/Lewis/Holy/Bowe Ali outpoints Wlad 6/10 times, while Wlad stops Ali the in the other 4. Vitali UDs Foreman/Holmes and stops Tyson 6/10 times. On and on with this socalled weak division. The division looks sooooo weak because the BROTHERS are so strong.PERIOD:deal
