He never won the title in the ring therefore he is not only not a great champ but not a champ at all. He has a nice trinket that was literally given to him that's about it.
Ive hated him for so long. I really feel for McCline so close in so many fights and this one he shouldve got. Peter is a paper champion and will crumble against Oleg who is definetly kicking himself for skipping out on this one.
I'm a Peter fan, and I was POd at those comments. These fighters get handed titles without having to FIGHT for them in the ring, and then they call themselves "champions." atsch It's ridiculous - they aren't champ of anything until they win it in the RING. :-(
I never liked peter and always thought he was a hype job. but how did the fight go I only saw a fwew rounds. 2 of which being the ones where mccline dropped peter. did peter deserve the decision?
Peter is not deserve the decision. McCline should have finished Peter off early, but did not, however, Peter did not deserve the decision. Don King would not comment on the decision. The judges were a disgrace! Oleg would have knocked Peter out tonight, Vitali would have put him into the morgue. Vlad very easily knocks Peter out in a rematch, but Don King will not allow such a fight. Boxing is crooked.
Peter would of been KTFO if he fought Maskaev. Peter is way too open to be hit and doesnt nearly have the chin many claimed he did. It looks his power was over-rated as well. He didnt phase Mccline once. Yeah, that is outrageous. He claimed he slipped three times, wtf.
I think Peter won the fight, but if McCline had better stamina then we would have a new WBC Interim champion. I'm dissapointed in Peter's newfound arrogance. He used to be very affable and humble before the belt was given to him. I don't mind the poor performance as much as the very poor sportmanship he's been displaying as of late.
He has always been that way, I'm surprised people are only noticing it now. He thought he deserved a decision against Wlad, always called himself the best heavyweight in the world even when he lost to Wlad.
