To be fighting a guy like Peter in your 3rd fight as a Heavy would be unreal. Haye is faster and powerful enough to bother Peter whose become very very lethargic recently. Add in potential issues with Peter's stamina and his weight and I think Haye has a real shot.
The question would be, how would Haye react when he gets clubbed by a real HW punch? Barrett shook him, and he has no power. Haye's defense is terrible and one solid connect from Peter could end it fast.
It's a very dangerous fight for Haye that keeps his hands way too low for a guy like Peter that just needs 1 shot to put him to sleep ! On the other hand Peter should be able to eat loads of Haye's shots before slowing down.....
I'M still in tryin to find WHEN Barret shook him...Still.. But i agree " Haye's defense is terrible and one solid connect from Peter could end it fast."
Am I the only one giving Peter a chance? It would still be a step up from Barrett. Barret himself is more like a blown up Cruiser - while Peter has his 250 pounds (with admittetly some fat).
I absolutely give Peter a chance. In fact, I'd pick him by KO. Barrett was more successful than most people thought he would be, and he fought like an amateur. Peter is at least a few levels up from Barrett, and punches much, much harder.
