    Enjoy the fight Guru.

    I ask you to take flaming to the PMs in the future...if you can manage, so can I.

    We both are smart enough to act our age on the board.

    ...and I've resisted going tit for tat with you, but if you really want it... I'll be happy to destroy the board with you.

    ...and again, show some f*cking originality, aren't you smarter than just another little biter...???

    Anyways, enjoy the fight...no promises about the back of the head though...:D

    In my opinion, the variable which will be the deciding factor in the fight is ring intelligence. Vitali Klitschko has the edge by a wide margin in that category. I don't think most fighters realize how truly resourceful Vitali Klitschko is as a fighter. His ability to fight at angles is going to really frustrate Peter...he won't have an answer for it.

    I agree Peter knows how to only fight one way. This is what I believe is causing all the problems in his training camp. Althought I really don't know, I expect people are trying to get him to change his style and add head movement, etc., and he just isn't willing or wanting to do that.

    I disagree. His skills have improved and he uses his jab much more, especially against fighters his size. Vitaly's massive height advantage will negate his jab though which will cause him big problems, in my opinion.

    I haven't seen any improvement in Peter at all. He will never be good until he learns to straighten his punches out and stop those looping idiotic punches, which one day, are going to get him disqualified.

    To be honest, I have seen some improvement in his boxing ability, but it is a moot point; this version of Sam Peter is not as effective as the charging Sam Peter who used to jump on his opponents. The fearless, pressure version of Sam Peter would be more effective in this fight.

    Sam Peter has improved his craft, if you say he hasnt, your either blind or a true hater. His jab, which was nonexistant before, kept Toney at bay in there second fight. His body work has improved as well, mixed with the head movement we seen against Maskaev. Steward even pointed out the fact that Peter is now throwing straighter punches, and when he gets his man hurt, he doesnt just throw anything, he picks his shots.

    The haters can say what they want, but I will take Manny's opinion over a few haters on this site.

    While Peter showed an improved jab against the 5'9" Toney I do not think his jab will be a factor against the 6'8" Klitschko. I think Peter will try to use the jab but it will be a non factor and he will get frustrated and revert back to his old wild self. If Peter tries to box behind his jab with Klitschko it will be suicide. His only option is to come out and hope he can blow Klitschko away.

    I believe his jab will be nullified in this fight just as you do. Jabbing a little fat man is different than a 6'8" power puncher.

    I would agree if we were talking about the 04 version of Vitali, but this one will not have the same reflexes he once had, which I'm sure you already know that you start to lose them as you get older. Peter will more and likely bode Vitali into a slugfest, a fight Peter can definitely win, but will just have to wait and see.
