    It's amazing how many people here call professional, world-class prizefighters "jokes" and "frauds." If only some realized, or at least respected, how tough it is to get into the ring and fight.

    Everybody said Wlad was done when he fell apart against Brewster, Roy Jones said during the HBO telecast that a guy with a weak chin and Heart would never become champ, 2 years later he became champ and was thought of as the best. Its easy to kick someone when there down, but give him a chance to get up and see what he could do.

    That's true; however, there was always more to Wlad than chin and power.

    So your saying Wlad has never been dropped a few times in a fight, then got up and won. Gee....thought he did.

    I think kg hit it on the head. There are plenty of negative posts about him already (tho I feel getting dropped numerous times, getting up and clearly winning the fight shows alot.....)...looks like you just felt like adding another to the mess.

    Yeah but he wasnt all that until Manny got ahold of him, his balance sucked and he had a problem with not pacing himself, which caused alot of his stamina issues. Peter would improve with a better trainer, he already started showing better body work and a better jab.

    You seriously think Scam Cheater broke his hand then passed the pre-fight physical with a broken hand then valiantly fought anyway. Man I wish I was a salesman wanting to sell you something. :lol:

    Some good points however I still think Sam Peter was all hype.

    He's still young, so we'll have to wait and see. I doubt he ever becomes a dominant/unified champion though. I will admit that I bought into the hype too much, but I don't think Peter himself was hype. He is what he is: a good fighter in a division with other good fighters.

    In some ways, it's kind of unfair to these guys to have such massive hype placed upon them, because it just sets them up for failure in the public's mind and leaves their fans disappointed.
