Heavyweight Matchmaker 2008

Vitali v Vladimir.

 

No chance

 

del. not sure anymore

 

yep. He's a fireman now

 

Agreed, Povetkin got rocked by Chambers, I'm sure Samuel would put him to sleep.:good

 

Vitali Peter or Maskaev

Vitali Valuev

Holy Moorer

Byrd Toney

Holy McCall

Wlad Chag

Tua Peter

Tua Briggs

Povetkin Ibragimov

Virchis Peter

Virchis Briggs

Virchis Tua

Peter Briggs

Wlad Valuev

 

Let's start with the only elite fighter in the div best: Wlad
Feb.> vs. Iggy > Wlad TKO 6
July > vs. Thompson > Wlad TKO 1 :rofl
November > vs. Valuev (WBA/WBO/IBF) > Wlad TKO 7

if wlad can pull that off he would deserve to be the fighter of the year but Ring hates him and still wouldn't recognize him as champ.

Other good potential matches:
Peter vs. Vitali >> vitali tko 8
Vitali vs. Virchis >> vitali tko 10
Povetkin vs. Haye >> povetkin ud
Povetkin vs. Peter >> peter sd
Chagaev vs. A Live Body :yep
Peter vs. Haye >> peter ud
Sultan vs. Chambers >> sultan ud
Vitali vs. Haye >> Vitali tko 3
Oleg vs. Vitali >> Vitali tko 6
Brewster vs. Peter >> peter ud

 

sam peter is gonna have trouble knocking any top 20 hw out. he is becoming more of a controlled boxer now. his crazy swinging style was good enough to ko guys like williams and julius long but when u step up to world-class competition guys just dont stand in front of u waiting to get tagged.

if he continues to sharpen up his punches and lay off the stripclubs a bit he can be a top 5 guy for awhile. against wlad, however, his new controlled style will end him. he'd have to go back and fight like a wildman to pull the upset. One has to wonder about his present punch resistance though :think

nobody but u and your fellow peter nuthuggers fourtyounce and amb-def are buying this mythical power crap anymore. dude is friggin tank, no doubt about it and probably the strongest in terms of raw strength. but his below average technique makes him an ineffective puncher most of the time. povetkin-peter would be a great fight and is too close to call right now but id love to see it

 

One bad fight against Mccline who has early round power, does not mean he has a glass chin like Harrison or Wlad, if he gets layed out against Maskaev, then I would agree with you. Taking a fight on 9 days notice is hard, but Peter wanted to fight and it cost him in a way. Peter will be fully prepared coming in, and his looking to take Maskaev out early, with a brutal overhand right.:yep

 

i didnt say he has a bad chin. all i said was it's hard to get a read now. u just cant assume he can take bombs for a full 12 now. he can be hurt and perhaps knocked out. will he fight more cautiously now? one has to wonder.

as far as his conditioning goes, i don't buy that nine day deal. he was in top form against wlad, but then came in horribly overwieght in the first toney fight, which he had months and months to prepare for and it was title eliminator. he's clearly got conditioning issues and i think it's just part of him being inconsistent. u surround yourself with guys like king, duva, and gotzev ur asking for trouble

 

Fair enough, I just hate this punch resistance theory ****, and the fact that some people think Wlad broke his chin or something, that fight was in September of 05, two years before the Mccline fight, Peter has had what 5 fights inbetween that, I think we would of seen earlier if that was the case. If Peter gets knocked out by Maskaev, then I'm convinced some of you guys are right, but I dont see it happening.

Peter fought Mccline not only on 9 days notice, but 9 months since his last fight, which was the longest layoff of his career, which we can blame Maskaev for. Fighting a guy 260-270 6'6 versus Maskaev 6'2 and a half 230-235, is a big difference, not to mention 2 complately different fighting stlyes. You can say I'm making excuses for Samuel, but what I'm stating are facts, the proof will be there come fight time, when Maskaev will probably get brutally layed out for all to see.

 

the point i was trying to make was why did peter come in at 257 against toney? u can't use those excuses there. like i said, i feel he is inconisistent.
