where do you rank peter after last night?

1-Wlad

GAP
2-Chagaev
3-Maskaev
4-Iggy
5-Valuev
6-Peter
7-Brock
8-Byrd
9-Povetkin
10-Virchis

 

i dont know if you were taught this in school, but there is no gap in between 1 and 2.

 

Exactly, I dropped him down to the number 3 spot. Frankly having him any lower than five indicates unreasonable bias, even if you don't think Peter's that good. Who are the five fighters who've done more lately to be rated above him??

 

Peter got KD 3x and came back and outboxed McCline. People are calling him fraud.

Wladimir Klitscho gets KD 3x by Peter, comes back to competely outbox Peter and gets praise for it.

People want to drop Peter out of the top 10 (some of them), people moved Wlad up after the same situation.

Its about your perception. People thought Peter had a granite chin and getting KD makes people think less of him. Wlad was supposed to have a glass chin, but he got up and won so people thought better of him.

 

I agree, and I see that, too.

But the reason is that I think everyone is tired of calling Wlad a china chin, and a hyp job, and all that nonsense he's been called after his Sanders loss. It was getting old to hear and even to say. It had ran its course...

But calling Peter such names is a brand new high that is fun for all these 12 year old kids we have on this site.

 

For me it's a toss-up between Valuev & Peter for 5th & 6th place. At least Valuev won his belt in the ring, even if he lost it to the #2 ranked guy he seems just as worthy accomplishments wise as Peter & head to head Valuev probably beats him.

 

never liked him anyway....

 

I can somewhat see your point but Wlad clearly outpointed Peter in the rest of the rounds where Peter fought close rounds with McCline that could've gone either way.

 

I have Peter still in the top 10, but below the established belt-holders.

Anyone put any thought into how old man Holyfield plays into all this, though?

I think he could've KO'd the Sam Peter that McCline was tossing around last night...and I do know that Holyfield is pretty much a shell of his former self.

 

I think Wlad KO's him within 3 rnds if they rematch

 

Prior to the fight I had him barely scraping the top 10

( That was based on lack of accomplishment against top fighters. He barely beat Toney the first time and he went the distance (losing 10 rounds) against a hyper-cautious Wlad, whose future was on the line and who fought conservatively that night.)

Last night, he would IMO, have lost to Iggy, Maskaev, Wlad, Ruslan, Tua, Sergei, Valuev, Byrd, McColl and maybe others.

He still hovers around # 10.

From the judges scores, not counting round 3, One of them had Sam winning 10 of the remaining 11 rounds, and another had him winning 9 of the remaining rounds with one even.

I haven't seen the entire fight yet, and I'll be interested in seeing if he even merited the W.

 

:roll:

Audley gets blasted by Sprott and stays down. Peter has taken shots from Klitschko and didn't go down and has gotten up off the canvas 3 times in 1 fight to come back and win.

 

WELL LOOK AT THIS ****!

I've said all along that Peter isn't #2 material, and now, after a WINNING EFFORT by Peter all of those that had him at #2 suddenly don't?

C'mon fellas.
