Peter was a dangerous man at one point.You are right.He almost managed to beat Paolo Vidoz who kicked his ass and kicked him out of the olympics.
Actually Vitali beat Peters about 1000000000 times worse than Chambers did. It wasn't even near as competitive. And Peter was a fat pig against Chambers. So how did that make Vitali's record worse?
when Wlad beat Peter, Peter was still considered green by most people and was not really considered a top heavyweight. When Vitali beat him Peter was considered top3.
Firstly if you "see" statistics then you obviously have some kind of hallucinogenic drug floating around your brain. Secondly, who gives a ****. Tyrone Brunson got 19 succesive first round KO's at middleweight fighting cans. I'm not the TS lawyer but it's obvious what he's getting at is that Vitali's opposition is weak and easy to look good and get good stats against.
you are joking right? :roflatsch Not even close. Peter was over hyped from the beginning. He was carefully matched by Duva.
i feel bad for vitali, hes a good fighter in a shitty era. a part of me wanted peter to win just to help vitali's resume.
Sanders and Peter were Vitali's 2 best wins and Peter is proving to be poor and Sanders never proved anything outside of his Wlad win. Vitali simply doesn't have a big career defining win Saying Vitali will fight anyone isn't true either, otherwise he would have fought more top opposition, which Lewis aside he has not for the most part and hes not rushing to get in with the top contenders like Haye/Povetkin
:roflatsch A few points. Peter was never Vitali's best win or even in the top 2 or 3. I blame this on people that tried to make Peter out to be something he was not. A better question would be what is Peter's best win? Vitali fought Lennox Lewis. If he fought Lennox he is not going to be afraid to fight anyone else. He was retired for 4 years so of course he did not get a chance to fight everyone. Povetkin has a shot at Wlad and his 2 belts and Haye is fighting Wlad. If Haye somehow beats Wlad I am sure Vitali will fight him.
Here's the deal. There's nobody in the division right now that would be a career defining win. Nobody. When (if) Haye get's destroyed by either Klitschko then it won't even be a good win.. because it will be that Haye was overhyped, no chinned, and not very good. Trust me. Haye right now is not a good win. Haye if he beat say, Arreola, Povetkin, Chaegav, or hell even John Ruiz. Dimentrenko. Someone. Monte Barrett doesn't mean ****. 4 years ago, maybe when he beat Guinn and Beck the win might mean something. Yet this is the guy who got sparked by Cliff Couser.
Look at all the sensitive types getting offended and ****! Relax ladies. You just have to accept that Sam Peter, despite being one of the very best wins on Vitali's resume, just isn't very good. Or, are we still going under the assumption that Jeff Lacy is the new Mike Tyson, and that Calzaghe is a legend for defeating the amazing left hook Lacy? You can't have it both ways. Vitali's resume took a hit. You know, I keep hearing this "Vitali is an ATG Heavyweight", and "Vitali would beat this guy, and this guy and this guy", How can Vitali be considered so good when his resume is so weak? He has literally never defeated a very good figher. Yet, you all seem to think is a cross between Ivan Drago and Superman!
