Sam Peters a fraud and I bought into it!

I am pretty sure he and Amsterdam claimed that mccline was ****, and it was a disgrace for Valuev to give him a title shot . The only question I am asking is what does that make Peter, if Mccline is bad as they claimed he is?

 

As for this topic. I don't know if fraud is a good word. Peter just wants to make the best living for himself, and it involves hyping himself up and he has done a good job of it. Lots of boxers have done so, and it is nothing unusual.

What was frustrating is so many people claiming that Peter is a legitimate number 2 heavyweight, when he hasnt really done **** and when his shortcoming are so obvious. This fight will put things to bed hopefully for most logical fans. Chagaev is clearly miles above him. The thing is all the other champ (Maskaev, Ibragimov) havent really done **** either, so whilst they are far more skillfull than Peter, it is still hard to rank them much above Peter.

 

I'll give the American boxing media and Don King etc credit. Only they could establish a HW as a big name based on a victory over a 39 year old middleweight.

And only American fans could possibly buy into it.

 

ayatollah, does his chin need to be reassesed?

 

:good

 

I think McCline is **** too. The guy shouldn't be fighting for any titles and sure as hell shoudn't have been Peter's replacement opponent tonight. Whoever, the facts are that Wlad and Peter did in fact fight, and McCline did more damage without running away from Peter's looping punches. If McCline could floor the guy three times, why couldn't Wlad end the fight when Peter was too tired to throw a punch anywhere near him. Peter was winging hooks in that fight that were literally missing by feet. I'm sorry, but I confused by all of the people who are thumping their chests after Peter's display tonight, yet still praising Wlad for his performance against the purported "HW saviour."

Sam Peter is grossly overrated, and so is the rest of the division (by some).

 

:smoke As Ive stated in the past PETER wasnt the same fighter after the VLAD beating ! Tonight kindov conferms it !:deal

 

From what I heard Peter lacks dedication in training. For all his heart, I can not see him rebound. On today's performance could you seriously see Peter do anything against someone like Chagaev or Ibarimov, both of whom have superior skills and stamina to him together with an decent ability to take a punch?

 

:smoke Macline is a massive guy and that changes the dynamics of a fight and a fighter !:good

 

I didn't call him a bum. I said he was "feather-fisted" - and I STILL think so. :yepAfter this - and I say this as a fan of Peter's - there are some serious questions about his punch resistance, frankly. :nod

It remains to be seen how he answers this question in future fights. For the record, I STILL think he knocks out Makaev - although I've probably gone from 99 percent certain to 75 percent!!!:scaredas:

 

Yes. And do note that I have in the post above. But those who are saying - with typical boxing fan hyperbole - that he has a "glass jaw" are going WAY overboard.

Yes, there are questions about his chin now. Yes, it is clear that it is not the "granite" beard that many of thought. But it sure ain't grade A china, either.

Guys with glass jaws knocked cold - think Fraudley against Sprott. Peter got up - and won.:yep

 

:rofl Look who's ****ing talking.

 

You turned that hyperbole into an art form.
