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

McCline has a good chance at beating him, and some put McCline barely above his spit bucket man.

(although personally, I put McCline higher than most do)

 

Yes, he would have trouble with a lot of them, but you can't tell me they wouldn't have problems with him too. Golota? Give me a break

 

I give Mccline credit as well, Peter should be able to take Mccline out somewhere between the 5-7 rounds. He fought alot of great fighters in his career including Wlad,Valuev,Bryd,Brock. I still dont think Mccline will be ready for Peters strong attack, in any event I see Mccline trying to go toe to toe with Peter in spots during the fight and he will eventually be caught with a heavy shot from Peter that ends the fight.

 

Allright, Allright.

Golota was a stretch.

I wanted to get 10.

(Notice how I buried him in the middle.)

They might have trouble with him but I think most of them would get the job done.

 

Fair enough....I would pick him comfortably over Brewster, Ibragimov, and Briggs, but the others would be good fights. I would pick Chagaev over Peter. If you want to get 10, but replace Valuev, Tony Thompson would be a better choice.:good

 

Some of these posters just type **** out of boredom, you look at this stuff and laugh, you can't take it seriously, he is rank #2 by the experts for a reason...If anyone can't understand that they should lift their favorite fighters nut-sac away from theirs eyes and look again...

 

Valuev was hugely overrated leading up to his loss to Chagaev. That said, he has an awkward style and probably a better chin than Peter. I don't see Peter beating him.

But at any rate, my original purpose in posting was to refute the notion that Peter was definitely a top three heavy.

He probably isn't.

As for Stezzies's insightful comment, which one of the rather sorry list I gave is supposed to be my favourite fighter.

(And is there really any point in responding to a post that rattles on about nutsacs and the likes ?)

 

Exactly. If anything Peter has become under-rated. He may not be Tyson, but he's a good young powerpuncher who can bring some excitement to what is a rather moribund HW division. For the life of me, I can't understand why he gets bashed so much! atsch

 

I don't want to type it all out again.

Agree. Scam Cheater has done absolutely NOTHING to deserve the praise he gets. Who did he beat? A steroid shot fat middleweight WAY past his prime? A bunch of ****in bums? Scam Cheater has NEVER knocked out a legitimate heavyweight. Hasn't even really hurt one except when he hits behind the head.

I hope to god shitty McCline beats him. At least then we know we have a super crappy champion who sucks and people won't overrate him like they do SCAM CHEATER.

And who would I pick him to beat? Not Maskaev, Chagaev, or Ibragimov. None of them. I think he gets easily outboxed by any of them if you put a decent ****in referee in there.

 

If you think Peter sucks so bad, bet me 1 month off ESB. If Peter loses I will stay off ESB for a month, if Mccline loses you have to stay off for a month. Peter is better than people give him credit for, and the times he put Wlad down were fair its not Peters fault Wlad has panic attacks when he gets hit. When you turn your back and put your head down, Peter has every right to hit a man when he has his back turned.

 

People like Peter because he is a guy who fits the profile of what a heavyweight should look like & carries aggression in the ring. he's a strong guy with a punchers chance and he goes in the ring with bad intentions behind his punches. Yes he lacks in his soft skills but he has potential or has showed improvements in that area by defeating Toney in their second fight soundly by decision. What it comes down to is that he gives hope to the heavyweight division to those who aren't fans of guys like Wlad. To me, Wlad for instance, although he has won, doesn't have the viciousness of a guy like Peter.

Since Mike Tyson, everyone has been looking for the next animal like guy who can go in there and KO guys. And no, Peter is nothing like Tyson (prime) style wise or skill wise...but again, he gives hope in a heavyweight division that is lacking those attributes that he has.

 

Peter is a very poor mans David Tua.

At least Tua KO'd genuine top 10 fighters, and past/future champions.

 

Yeah & people like Tua; and if he is poor mans version of Tua, Peter is younger & still has a career ahead of him, while Tua is at the end of his.

 

Tua could do NOW everything Peter has done in the last 2 years of his career.

And that includes beating a fat, steroid using Toney.


Don't get me wrong, I like Peter. I just think he's being a bit overhyped right now. Deserves a break though, with the **** that he had to put up with the double eliminator, followed by the **** Oleg and Vitlay put him through.
