Anyone notice Sam Peter has been under 240 for his last three fights?

    He doesn't seem too heavy at this weight, although he might benefit from going to around 230. What he seems to have done (or his handlers) is that he got off some helpers that made him way more aggressive and explosive when he started his career at 237lb, and I really commend him for it. He now has to work on naturally getting back a bit of that athleticism and explosiveness, and he could be a force or title holder once the Klitschkos retire.

    Considering 239 is his lowest weight in 9 years, I think he's on the right track.

    If Sam dropped down to 230, it might help his speed and stamina a little. But it could effect his power greatly. He's got too much of a wide frame, and carries alot of muscle mass to drain himself to that. His best weight is what he's fighting at now. He aint a Eddie Chambers type fighter, who can drop down to low levels of fat and perform better...

    Well Eddie Chambers was fat when he fought Povetkin. I remember hearing his weight and thinking, how can this guy be so small and so fat? Chambers is similar to Chris Byrd in that he wants to be a heavyweight, but is really probably a cruiser or super middle weight. I feel for Chambers when he gets in the ring with Wladimir because he either is in complete and total denial about Wlads hand speed, or completely doesn't know that Wlad frequently trains with super middle weights to build up his speed. In short, Chambers' speed will not be a factor of concern for Wladimir. Now a faster version of Sam Peter is a threat to anyone he fights.

    He is finally back in shape now all the things hes learned from his fights with Toney McCline Vitali Wlad Maskaev will show he has a wealth of expereince too bad he was never in shape. We may finally see a next step Sam Peter

    he is suing duva and don king for money they withheld from him, I think he was so unhappy with them that he was unmotivated to train properly or eat like he should have and now that he is happy with toprank he is motivated to keep the weight down

    It was a very early undercard fight for one of Top Rank's Latin Fury cards.

    Peter weighed 243 for this fight, which is still 15-20 lbs TOO HEAVY, Peter shouldn't weigh anymore than 230 lbs when he steps in the ring. honestly he should only weigh 240 or more between fights. in this fight he looked bad as he had ZERO energy, was not explosive at all and looked very lethargic, Unless someone lights a fire in his ass he will be nothing more than a C level HW in a shitty division.

    I saw Peters on the undercard of the Pavlik fight. Just a workman like performance against a showboat. The guy does have decent hand speed.
