The Chag Ibrag winner is the best possible opponent, but you can't ignore the fact that Peter is probably the next biggest threat, with his iron chin, and ability to take a beating and keep coming. He's lacking at boxing, but he's tough as hell, and is like a big, thick, tree trunk that you can't seem to chop down, no matter how hard you pound on him. And that kind of a tough guy is a threat, I would say, especially when he's got good, even if overrated, KO power to boot, that can turn the fight on a moment's notice. Wlad would probably beat Peter even more decisively this time, but, he is probably the second bigges threat out of a dwindlling pool of opponents. We are running out of fighters for Wlad to fight, and have to start accepting less and less competitive opponents, cause that's all there is!.
No doubt. Wald is definitely the top HW Champion right now...although he's been the top HW champion for the last year or so.
I like how people say that he needs to beat Peter again. First, they all said that he would never fight Peter. Then he fights him, pounds him for 10 out of 12 rounds in their fight... and afterwards they say that Peter was overrated, and wasn't that good. Now, a couple years later they say that in order to be a real Champion he needs to beat Peter again.:rofl
That is just getting ******ed this crap with Samuel Peter. People think that by outboxing James Toney he has improved to the point where he can challange Klitschko again. Mark my words when Wladimir wins another dominant UD over Peter, those same posters will be complaining that Wladimir fought limited Peter again and avoids........Shanon Briggs (I dont know who else is there to be avoided)
