    As, we all know the Klitschko brothers literally demolished Samuel Peter's career, taking away his first title shot, then his first title, and finally his chin.

    How would you rate their combined three wins over him though in order of how impressive. Take into account Samuel's own stock/standing/physical condition, at the time of the three fights.

    I see it this way.


    1./Wladimir Klitschko UD 12 Samuel Peter. (Was a 50/50 fight coming in, and I reckon that version of Peter would have crushed most of today's top ten)
    2./Vitali Klitschko RTD 8 Samuel Peter. (Even though Peter was far too heavy, and Vitali never hurt him, I still say this was a boxing masterclass. Klitschko made a reigning champion quit in his corner, and Peter was never a trashtalker or a confident fighter ever again. I definately think if Peter had been in shape this would of been a truly great fight.)
    3./ Wladimir Klitschko KO 10 Samuel Peter. (Peter was obviously well trained, but I definately think he's lost his edge at this point. Still would of given Haye/Adamek hell. Klitschko just showed us why he's a totally different animal now. So hard to back him up)

    Your thoughts? Who scored the best win over Peter and why?

    Good thread!

    And I agree completly with you. Wlad stood up to Peter in the first fight, and handed him a clear loss, even though he sent him 3 times to the floor.

    Vitaly damaged his selfbelive in the fight. Peter had to realize that he will never be able to beat him.

    Then Wlad gave him the rest in their last fight. Peter is a damaged good now. If he hangs in there he may get a chance again after the Klitschkos retire.
