    Good match, I want to say Botha and he certainly could, however I think Peters was a bit more devastating.

    60/40 Peters.

    but I'm still betting Botha.

    Peak Peter would knock Botha out imo.

    Peter would club the life out of Botha.

    Bad match up for Botha, I have Peter by KO late.

    Botha was more skilled but I fear that he was not 'cute' enough to avoid the worst of it and didn't hit quite hard enough to dent Peter. I'd like to think Botha would put up a gallant losing effort. Peter at his best was crude but very powerful.

    If Botha can beat Ginger Tshabalala he can beat Peter
