Sam Peter got decked 3 times by a guy that couldnt hold Wlads jock, maybe all this time I been fooled by Sam Peters so called "power" and his "Invincible chin", both fell at the waist tonite. Yes I had Peter winning the fight by a point or two at the end, but the damage was already done and I will never look at Sam Peter the same way again. Im a man of word, I betted Sam Peter would knockout or stop Mccline within 12 rounds and I lost by a mile and then some. El Bombasto, Sam Peter is a fraud in my eyes and most of the people that watched the fight tonite, Wlad is the man and there aint nobody that could touch him in the Heavywieght division. I will leave ESB as I said I would, and I will come back in a month with a new attitude towards Wlad, I will reply to a few posts and Im gone for month which sucks dick for me.
Agreed....Samuel Peter is a good heavyweight, but nothing like he was built up to be. I bought into the hype.
When I was watching the fight I could believe he got floored 3 times, how can a guy take Wlads punches and not Mcclines. Im done with the heavywieght division, this hurt a little less than when Brewster got beat down by Wlad the 2nd time though.
I told ya......I feel he needs a better trainer to become a better fighter....all the hype came from the KO's...but all along I kept saying the KO's were against level "B" and "C" fighters. Put Peter in with Level "A" fighters and he has trouble
i guess that is what's called raising the white flag :yep imo, its peter's ego and training as much as the beating from wlad that has hurt him. i think he can be a major player but only if he takes his head out of his ass. and what is the bs saying he's the best hw. man, be humble and call a spade a spade. see, here's the big difference between wlad and peter. wlad is a professional, humble and works his ass off while peter and his slimbag henchmen run their mouths.
That's the KEY right there. I can't BELIEVE they haven't dismissed that clown "Pops" Anderson and gotten a REAL trainer. atsch This said, as a Peter fan, I'm certainly disappointed. Maybe hand injuries had something to do with it, but he should never have struggled What I'll say is this - maybe Peter isn't quite a good as some of us thought, but I don't think he's as bad as some have been saying either. Personally, I hope he rebounds - and he's still young, so he has the time to do it.
Other than Wlad accusuing Brewster of poisoning him during there first fight, I thought that was pretty messed up, other than that I agree.
Did you not call Mccline a bum, and a disgrace for Valuev to fight him? WTF now? Valuev was winning the fight , while it lasted 4 rounds , Peter was on ass 3 times and just barely survived being KO'd.
Americans all bought into him because he beat Toney. Toney is the most overrated fighter of the past decade amongst Americans and that was passed onto Peter. Despite the fact Toney was old and a 5"9 former middleweight. Americans all wanted to believe Toney was some kind of defensive genius and Peter was somehow skilled for beating him. It was a joke that fight had even odds on both fighters. Thank mass stupidity planted by the boxing media for that. James Toney is a league or two below the likes of Jones, Calzaghe, Hopkins. I never again want to hear his name mention amongst the best of the last decade in boxing.
Let's play the common opponent game with Wlad. McCline did a hell of a lot more damage to Peter than Wlad did w/o running, does that mean that Jameel is superior?
While I think the guys you named our better than Toney, there not 2 leagues ahead of him. Toney beat good Heavywieghts and former champions like Guinn, Holyfield, Ruiz, and had a draw with Rahman. He is great fighter that was sucessful in what 4 divisons thats something to be proud of.
