    Exactly, though dont get me wrong, Peter is known to do the same thing at times, but he also has a great chin with the heavy punch to match, Walker doesnt have that, though during a Vitali sparring session for his Rahman fight in late 05, it's been reported that Walker floored Vitali, which may or may not be true, depending on who you talk to.

    I honestly believe Peter would knockout Arreola early in the fight, Peter has been in with the best the division has to offer, Arreola's best competition is Walker, a fight he nearly escaped a knockout.

    You don't think Peter has taken too many shots?

    I think his chin has been dented and he might be a ruined fighter after some of the beatings hes had.

    here is my dilemma in picking a winner neither guy throws straight punches. Both throw looping punches and in Peter's case he throws looping and clubbing punches.

    Peter has fought the better fighters but I think Peter is finished and that Arreola is the fresher more motivated fighter of the two.

    My pick is Arreola.

    No, I think against Vitali he proved to all that watched, his chin is still great, it's his heart that seems dented IMO.

    Peter is far from ruined, for one the division sucks, and as we seen with the most recent Holyfield/Valuev and Rahman/Wlad fights, anyone could a shot at a title, even if there shot and dont deserve it. Peter lost to probably best Heavyweight in the world, which is nothing to be ashamed of, he just needs to string together a couple matches to get his confidence back, then try and grab another belt in late 09, early 2010.

    :good But i will be nice to see! Wlad vs. Toney, great fight.

    Wlad had ruined Peter in 2005. Peter will never be the same fighter.
