Sam is not a ***** like most other top challengers. He already has my respect because he is at least willing to step up to the plate.
Beating Wlad would be enough. You're talking about a fighter who has won ten consecutive win in a row and is a dominant champion. If Peter beats him, he's got my respect.
I'm not sure I'll ever respect Peter's boxing skills, but TBH he's already done more then most other HWs in today's era... he's willing to step in the ring with any other fighter in the sport, he's gotten back in shape, he makes an effort(for what it's worth) in every round of every fight. What more can you ask for? He's a performer and I wouldn't mind seeing him in the ring with any other HW in the game today.
Looking forward to this fight and I'm giving Peter a chance to win - unlike most. Been had my respect - even though I still think he's older than what they say he is.
Fourty, most of ppl hate him because he lost to Klitschko Brothers which in reality is no shame. peter is man with guts. Peter has had his weak moments in his career when he came over weight against Vitali and Chambers. But it seems his back in a game coming in shape etc.:good I give huge Credit for Peter fighting against Wlad the second time and not picking Weak Belt holder like David Haye. If peter also comes in tip top shape I give my full credit to Nigerian Warrior!:good
He has more than a punchers chance because he has heart. Peter is coming to KO Wlad or get KO'd trying. A true warrior. I can't figure out how someone would talk bad about Peter. Also, he is now back into the high 230's-low 240's. He has fought Wlad once and had him hurt. For as long as the fight lasts, it will be exciting to the end. He is probably going to go off at +400 or more.
Just come in and not let his conditioning be the deciding factor. Peter is a guy who has ALL of the tools, but just needs to be dedicated. He has come pretty far in just stepping up to this challenge.
He needs to come and try for the knockout like he did int he 1st fight. I give peter a little respect for taking the fight. But that is what contenders are supposed to do...it used to be insanity to turn down a shot at the title, now guys run from wlad and vitali, it is a shame.
I respect his balls (no homo) and toughness. I'll have more respect if he has the sense to throw some combinations, and doubly so if he makes it a competitive fight for any length of time
