Perhaps he is attempting to fool casual fans. Or perhaps he is delusional. Or stupid. Whatever the reason is of little consequence.
you know what rodney... If peter was as half as bad as you think he is nobody would be talking about him and you my friend would not bother to talk about him. Hatred is a form of flattery:good
Yeah, Peter won that title with his victory over James Toney. Peter has defended the title 3 times ( JT,JM,OM) and unified it with the WBC Title.
Yeah I don't get the irrational hatred some people have for this guy. Seems like a pleasant guy. Doesn't come off as boisterous or arrogant. OK he misspoke, so what Weird
And he's a professional fighter. You can't expect these guys to come across as the sharpest tools in the shed. He said what he said after winning a world title; something he worked hard to achieve. People ought to give him a break.
Agreed. I never understand the hatred I see for Sam Peter. So he's not a Rhodes Scholar, so what? If he was, he probably wouldn't be boxing for a living. Personally, scholastic achievement and speaking skills aren't in my criteria for favorite fighter. Calvin Brock and Touch of Sleep Williamson both have college degrees. Guess what, it hasn't helped them in the ring.
i dont really hate the guy but its just fun to go back in forth and forth with the 5 notorious peter nuthuggers aka punisher, 40oz, swedeone, suge white, amb def :yep he's the #2 guy right now. imo his performance against wlad is better than any win chagaev or valuev has. couple with the fact chagaev has been AWOL and i think he has the best case for #2. he's the only one who could give wlad a difficult fight. he has clearly improved technically. his jab to the body is very good and he has straightened his right hand. he has good killer instinct. however, i think his lifesytle and poor work ethic will cost him big sooner rather than later. manny steward said he used to eat several candy bars before bedtime
His lifestyle???????????? christian with childern and a wife.... PLEASE ELOABRATE AND NONE OF THIS STRIP CLUB BULL****.. I MEAN FOR REAL LIFESTYLE STUFF THAT YOU TRULY KNOW OF
I read that after he went home to Nigeria he beat up his brother in law or father inlaw and slapped his wife, I cant really remember the whole story but is was somthing like that. Ps He is a cop in nigeria.
It was posted on this site, But like I've said before in defence of Ricardo Mayorga "You dont get to wear the WBC World champion belt BY SUCKING."
He is VERY arrogant. He declared himself to be the "next undisputed HW champion" before he even had a title fight. The guy is powerful, seems to have an average to above average chin, questionable stamina, and has crap boxing skills. If the refs ever enforce the rule about hitting the back of the head as aggressively as they enforce the rule about low blows, Peter is ****ed.
