    And despite the setbacks he managed to work his way back to the top.

    If it were an American Heavy it would be the "feel good story" of Boxing.

    Judging from the McCline debacle I can picture Sanders KOing Peter in the 1st or 2nd round.

    How many of those KD's were because he was off balance? so they were knock downs but did they hurt him? TOS didn't make a diffrence, Sam Peter's 3 KD's didn't help him win...

    lets be honest who cares how many times he was knocked down he's still a dominating force in the HW division, if I were to bring up the 3 KD's that had Sam Peter on the ropes against feather fisted McCline would you agree that Sam Peter now has a weak chin?

    Especially considering these guys say Wlad has a glass chin. Brock should've been able to KO Wlad then right? There goes that theory................

    Wlad's not perfect but he's a great ambassador for the sport.

    Exactly. I don't think Peter's chin is **** either.

    I think he's just an alias of Punisher33 anyway, like carbon copies of one another if not. A couple of tools...............

    I'm nobody's alias RUSKULL, I used to post on ESB awhile back under a different name, but I'm not fourtyounce. I give example and stats of everything I say and do give props to Wlad as well, and you know that.

    Atlas is human like the rest of us.

    The only difference is, he doesn't hop on ESB to prod people when they get one wrong.

    I see boxers pick guys who they think would win and they get it wrong too. So who really gives a ****? That's just one man making a prediction on who he thinks will win. He isn't a professional gambler, he's a boxing analyst. And if you don't know the difference between the two now, lemme tell you. One of them finds the dirt on everybody when laying their bets. The other just studies the sport.

    When someone is a public figure and their picks are broadcast on national TV, people have a way of immortalizing the times they're badly wrong and blowing it out of proportion- Atlas has had some big flubs over the years (including this one), but I'm quite certain he's been right more often than not, and he's occasionally made absolutely freakishly accurate predictions, such as his forecasting the DQ of Tyson in the Holyfield rematch and describing before the fight how he thought Rogers Mtagwa would win by a knockout with an overhand right in the fourth round against Alvin Brown.
