Sam Peter is the most over-f**kin-rated heavyweight in the world right now.

    By no means am I a hater, but the fact of the matter is that if McCline doesn't beat Peter, he's going to definitely show just how many limitations this guy truly has. And he sure as hell isn't the number 2 heavyweight in the world. What Samuel Peter IS is a decent fighter whose basically just a rough copy of what everyone wants in the heavyweight division right now, so he's becoming overrated through the ****ing roof.

    He's the second or third best heavyweight.

    And all of the people considered so far as a replacement for Maskaev could give HIM hell as well.

    Hes a decent fighter who hasnt hit his peak yet, give him a couple years. Everybody talked **** about Wlad 3 years ago when he melted against Brewster, not look at what hes become over the last few years.

    Well.. maybe Golota is questionable, but against anyone else I wouldn't dare bet my money on Peter.

    He is certianly top 6 or 7, but probably not top five, if you ask me.

    Chag is above him

    Wlad is certianly above him

    Sultan, in being undefeated, and beating Briggs, as well as a few other B level fighters, is above PEter, who has only beaten Toney, and that's it.

    Maskaev is above Peter.

    Valuev is above Peter, who beat Ruiz, and was only beaten by Chag, and that was by decision.

    There's five, right there, that all have better wins that Peter's sole win over Toney.

    Peter was seem as a destroyer who may really create some excitement in the upper tiers of the division, til he GOT to the upper tiers of the division...........then his appeal fell flat and he didn't live up to expectations, as he couldn't destroy ANY top heavies, as he was doing to the Jeremy WIllaims and Taurus Sykes type fighters.

    He was a big fish in the small pond, but once he was put in the big pond, he couldn't deliver. If Peter manages to get by McCline (questionable), you can bet that Vitali will beat his ears off.

    Overrated?, compared to who?
    There are like 2 or 3 decent heavyweights out there right now so calling him top 5 in a division like now is no shame at all.

    Give the kid some time....he's fought the best heavyweight in the world and held his own. And he didn't KO James Toney, but aside from Klitschko, who would? His defense and toughness make him very hard to stop even at heavyweight. A fight with Maskaev would have answered some real questions

    I have no problem considering him a top 5, but number 2 in the world is pushing it. Especially when you really consider just how many people have a solid chance of beating this guy.

    Probably not.


    He would lose to:

    Valuev
    Wlad
    Vitali (healthy version)



    He would have trouble with

    Chagaev
    Briggs
    Tua
    Sultan
    Golata
    Brewster
    Byrd


    I think he barely scrapes the top 10.
