    I think its gotta be Peter. Hard to find another boxer at the moment with the same combination of chin and power. Whilst Chagaev's skills are way above Peter, his power is not on the same level and his chin hasn't really been tested yet (I haven't seen the Virchis fight though).

    Right and Peter was clinching to keep him self up right. I don't think Wlad opened up much vs Sam Peter. He certainly hit Brock, Austin, and Byrd much harder than he hit Peter.

    Wlad fought a tactical box and move type of fight, and proved his stamina was good enough to do this for 12 rounds.

    I think Peter would have KO'd Wlad had there been another 30 seconds or so left in round 10. That was probably the only legit knockdown in the fight. After getting up Wlad went into a shell against the ropes like he did against Sanders. Lucky for him the bell sounded.

    Peter was definitely ready to go in the 12th. He was dead tired, and because of that had no legs. Therefore, Wlad's punches began to do serious damage. Another round in the fight and Peter gets brutally stretched.

    But at least Peters legs were able to support his body weight throughout the fight...

    The bruises on Peter's face must be a result of the wind tunnel effect of Wlad running away.

    To all the Peter nuthuggers who wanna rewrite history.

    Lets say Peter knocked down Klitschko once, maybe 1 1/2 times. People who call the 1st KD and especially the 2nd KD a KnockDown are ******ed and cannot be taken serious. The second KD was completely bogus. You hear that? BOGUS!!!!! Peter at that time was the HW hype and they wanted Peter to win so the judges and Lederman (notorious Klitschkohater) called it KD. But every neutral spectator (as well as Lampley and Merchant) with a little amount of boxing knowledge saw with their own eyes what the "Knockdowns" in the 5th were. A joke.

    BTW where are all the people who thought Peter will murder, **** and whatever Klitschko within 2,3,4 rounds in their 1st fight (atleast half of that board). I guess they are the same, now picking Peter again via KO. I tell you, you will be wrong again.

    Despite rooting for Peter that night, I saw Klitschko taking him to school for 11 1/2 rounds. and Peter didn´t learn to box meanwhile. Just Fat Toney lost his boxing skills.

    wlad got countered by a right and was not hurt at all. he threw an off-balance lead right and got caught. it was the textbook flash knockdown. in fact, he went on to hurt williamson later in the round.

    while i do agree he panicks at times when constantly pressured, clinching is a major part of his style now w/steward. use your massive weight and height to wear down the smaller opponent. in the rematch with brewster, he handled it much better. however, one must admit peter would apply more pressure than brewster did. only one way to find out though, that is, if peter can ever fight again :yep

    Yep. Get real people. Peter's face at the end of the fight looked like he was hit by a truck!

    I think if it had been a 15 round fight Peter would have said goodnight. He was in trouble, but he also showed a hell of a chin throughout the fight.

    Only one knock down was from behind the head...and the only reason the punches that did land behind the head are because Klitschko leaned in away from Peter's right hand to hold...

    Peter wobbled momentarily in the 12th...not even for a full second, and he was exhausted but people think 'oh suddenly Wlad decided to get aggressive...in a rematch Peter knocks Wlad out...

    I think he was hurt more than we all think...especially Wlad. I just watched the 12th round of that fight. Peter looked like he was doing a ballet move..after that left hook...hahaha...I think if Wlad had pressed he could have finished him
