    This thread should probably be moved to Classic.

    Peter had power... The problem was landing flush enough for it to matter at the top level. Look at what he did to Jeremy Williams. Williams wasn't anywhere near a top guy, but he was still decent. Brutally KO'd 7'1 Long worse than anyone has(usually he's just TKO'd or loses a decision - Long recently gave Browne quite a bit of trouble)

    Very true. Sanders had that hand speed combined with underrated strength and technique. It was often that he'd hit guys with shots out of nowhere with NASTY speed.

    As far as sheer impact and technique I'd say Wlad was slightly ahead. But Sanders had that sneaky power and was slightly faster than even Wlad in his late 20's.

    As far as just sheer force of his shots... Peter definitely had it. There's really no denying that.

    He sure threw bombs. Felt sad for him vs Helenius.

    He has more power than Wilder and a much better chin. At least he fought some good fighters. Wilder refuses to fight anyone who can punch back!
