bentt puts sam peter into perspective

He might be a poor mans tyson, but thats all we can hope for during this sad time in the heavywieght division.

 

Um....no. Tyson had technique, speed and a variety of punches as well as power.

And why is it the best we can hope for anyway? Quite frankly I'd rather watch Chris Byrd than Sam Peter.

 

He's tough, he's strong, he's powerful, and he has an iron chin. He wont be a great heavyweight by any means, but with today's talent, he may be good enough to be around the top and collect some belts. He's more of a poor man's George Foreman than a poor man's Mike Tyson.

 

Except Bentt said that about a year or so ago, didn't he? Before the two Peter-Toney fights?

 

Samuel Peter straightened up his punches and showed a jab and counter punching against Toney. We'll soon find out if that was an aberration or the real Sam Peter.

 

Sam Peter showed he can adjust his fighting style to beat different fighters, after he lays out Maskaev hes going to retire Vitali for good.

 

Anyone who compares Peter to Tyson in any way other than chin or power doesn't know what the **** they're talking about.

 

Well, Peter got owned in the first Toney fight.

 

When you watch a Heavyweight boxing match - most people want to see a Knock Out. They don't really want to see a good boxing match that goes 12 rounds. Brutal Knock Out is what we want - pure entertainment. In that sense - Sam Peter is very entertaining.

He may not be one of the better Boxers in the Heavyweight Division - but knowing that he has the KO power to end the fight at any moment keeps most of us watching him.

 

Unfortunately it only takes the talent Peter has to be succesful in this era of heavyweights.

 

Right. Having power (even if its not as powerful as its touted as being) is not doing you any good if you don't have the skills to deliver it.

And I think to call Peter a poor man's Tyson is giving Peter waaaaaaaaaay too much credit. Peter is not good enough to even be called a poor man's Tyson, as Tyson was the total package who was ultra fast, skilled, conditoined, powerful, iron chinned,etc.........., and Peter has some decent power, and not much else. LOL So Peter is FAR from being even a poor man's Tyson. Peter would have to greatly improve to be called a poor man's Tyson.

 

I don't like it when people call Peter another David Tua....Tua was much better in his prime
