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

    Guys are scared to fight him? I think you mean " Maskaev is scared to fight him " because Ruiz, Rahman, McCall, McCline, AND Golota were all up for the chance to take Peter on, so I'd hardly say that Peter is really that feared.


    I'm sure if you give ANY fighter a great trainer you'll see some improvements. Hell, put Manny in McCline's and I think an upset might be on the horizon.

    Guys like Golota, Ruiz, and Rahman are all the bottom trying to come up. There are no fighters who are already on top or doing well that even challanged Peter, no one really wants to fight Peter unless they have nothing to lose like the 3 I already mentioned. Maskaev has been ducking Peter for a while now, trying to fight an injured Vitali instead. I will agree Peter is still a little awkward in the ring, but his chin and power make up for it. I hope people give Peter some credit when he knocks Mccline out on oct 6, he deserves it.

    Peter is the #2 guy in the fact that he took Wald the distance and made it VERY close....something ALL the other HW that Wald Plowed through could not do.

    He is a bit over rated but EVERY HW is over rated bc none of them are future ATG's at this point....ALL have limitations and lack TRUE boxing skills. The Big HW's right now rely on their Size, Power and strength to beat up on the Smaller HW's with a bit more skill.

    Peter beat the highest skilled "UN-Natrual" HW in James Toney and did so in a pretty dominant preformance. Which again....No one else was able to do.

    Valuev beat Donald, Ruiz, Barrett, McCline, Etienne and Bidenko. Some were slightly controversial, but not all that much so, and he still beat them either way. Not murderers' row, but not a bunch of bums either, and it's a better lineup of fighters than Ibragamov or Chagaev had faced before getting a shot, and he's beaten better fighters than 3/4 of the guys on that list who aren't old and washed up. Not only that, but his size, his chin and his style would give most HWs problems. In any case, beating Valuev is a serious notch, and a notch that nobody else has.

    Chagaev beat Valuev, Ruiz and Virchis in his last 3 fights. That is a far superior record to Peter, that can not be disputed. Plus he has a great amateur pedigree

    The Wlad/Cheater fight wasn't close. Even with the behind the head knockdowns the score was lopsided. Without them it was a blowout.

    :rofl :rofl :rofl

    Be glad your boy got the "W". If the referee had any brains in his head, he would have taken at leats 2 points away from Wlad for the *****-hugging. And thank your lucky stars Peter never actually landed a power shot on Wlad. Wlad was hit with 3 glancing blows the entire night and ALL 3 floored him. :rofl

    If Sam had connected with a pure power shot, Wlad might STILL be down today. :yep

    Very true, but as far as a ref is concerned he did a decent job. As a ref you got to let the fighters fight, Peter did hit the back of Wlads head on 2 of the knockdowns but you have no choice when your oppenent turns and puts his head down to avoid being punched. Every elite fighter uses dirty tactics to win fights its part of boxing, if you dont use rough house tactics your not trying hard enough to win. Yes Wlad won, but I was still impressed Peter was able to hurt Wlad more and Wlad only briefly hurt Peter. I believe a rematch between the 2 of them would be interesting for fight fans, unlike Wlads recent oppenents Peter is very dangerous and does have a top notch chin which will able him to turn the boxing match into a dog fight.

    People always fail to mention how he turned his head when that happened... and yes, good point, for the amount of punishment Peter took in the fight, he was hurt less than Wlad who was floored three times.... that must be embarrassing. We know why he turned into the the Wladimir Klinch-ko that he is. He can't afford to get hit flush....he may be from Russia, but his chin was assembled in China, sorry.

    Scam Cheater has not knocked out ONE top 10 heavyweight. ZERO. NONE. Care to comment on that? Scam couldn't even knock out the "weakest chin" in the division. This says alot about this paper champion. Clinching is allowed in boxing. Rabbit punching isn't. Take that to the bank brother.

    FYI. Wladimir would knock Toney out easily. "Your Boy" is about the most unskilled age lying heavyweight in the top 10 right now.

    James Toney has never been knocked out first of all, he took rahman, Ruiz, and Holyfields best shots and didnt go down as well. What Wlad does is illegal, you cant blatantly lean on someones neck and back or you will get warned. As explained many times before Sam or anyone else has every right to hit the back of someones head if a fighter is purposely turning there back to avoid punches, which wlad was obviously doing when he was hurt in that fight.

    a good puncher to the back of the head. an overrated power rep based on the ko of jeremy williams. he is vastly overrated and i dont think he will improve very much
