A clear case of a top HW who ate himself out of contention. If fit, in shape and focused, Peter is still a top 10 talent in the division, maybe even top 5, but he's gotta make drastic changes in his routines and specially his attitude. He's a naturally large fighter, his ideal wheight is probably about 240lbs.
Kind of funny when Arum rags on heavies for being out of shape then goes out of his way to sign two of the biggest abusers around (Peter and Solis).
Peter's natural talents are hidden behind the 30 pounds of excess fat. Get rid of that and he could be a major player again. A couple confidence building fights, some weight loss, and picking up some new techniques and skills might lead to great fights with the likes of Boytsov, Arreola, and some other up-and-coming contenders. Best of luck to him. Hopefully he realized it was time for a complete change in his approach.
Plus he signed Rahman right around the time he was supposed to fight VitKlit and then he got KTFO by Maskaev again. Arum has been hating on the Heavyweight Division for a while now. Wonder why he is signing these guys?
Sam's still got some proven' to do-- @240lbs,. he's a load of dynamite and all bets are off the table..
