    i don't disagree he improved after the massively humiliating loss to Brewster, but that's not the issue being discussed.

    2010 Peter was an inept fighter.The kind of level i expect any heavy that wants to be considered very good, let alone great to smash to bits or massively outclass.

    Even here Wlad still took his time to take him out when it appeared he could have done far earlier.still looked wary and tense to me.As he almost always does.

    The style he fights in now works best for him and sure he's formidable, but don't you wonder how much soft opposition might be glossing over those old weaknesses just under the surface? I tend to look at "massive improvement" halfway through a fighters career with a suspicious eye.Most of the time i find it's marginal improvement and hype brough on by various factors.

    I agree with that. I feel the same way about Wladimir Klitscho as I did about Lennox Lewis.
