Where the f*** is Sam Peter?

Washing Helenius's drawers.

Sam Peter was without doubt a beast in his early days as a contender. Then he ran into Wladimir in 2005, put up a great fight, but took a real beating in the process. After that he started working with Stacey Mckinnley and became a much more polished, and skilled boxer puncher. The only problem was he moved up about ten pounds in weight from his contender days. The absolute fiasco against Vitali in Berlin, one of the weirdest nights in boxing I can ever remember, totally destroyed his credibility. In my mind by then he had left it too late. He did the right thing with Sanchez and trained at altitude to get back into his old weight range. Problem was he was rushed in against Wladimir too quickly. I don't think his body had fully accustomed to the lighter weight, and after a lively opener he got given a career ending beating, and promptly followed that with another shocking KO loss. Had Peter never become a 250 plus fighter back in 2007-2008 then he would have won all those fights against: Toney/Maskaev/Mcline more impressively and had a better shot against Vitali. It was too little too late by 2010. Heavyweights need to get accustomed to a weight over time.

If he wants to come back then he needs to spend 8-10 months fighting bums and allowing his body to fully adjust to a lower weight. Then throw him in against guys like Oquendo and Estrada to test his stamina over 12 rounds. If he does that he could have another crack, but I seriously doubt he will. He's made alot of money, and had a very punishing career to go with it. If he does come back he will probably KO a couple of bums while weighing 255, get an undeserved crack at a brother, come into that fight at a light weight again, and then totally gas after 3 rounds and get pummeled.

 

Whoever says that Peter was a beast is no doubt a Klits fan. The only quality fighters he fought was... You guest it. The Klits brothers. Weakest era in history.

Delicious fried chicken..

 

Klits fan or not he makes by far the best post in this thread. Peter was seen as a very dangerous guy moving up. He was tough, aggressive, and looked to have world class punching power including a chilling one punch KO over Jeremy Williams. He was making all the right noise, and prior to the first Klitschko fight was given a very good chance to win which he capitalised on by knocking Wlad down three times. Following the loss, he went on to beat Toney twice (once controversially), the dangerous if limited McCline and the always game Masakev in a fight which won him the WBC title. Hindsight shows that this was more or less the apex of his career, but too much of the fat, unmotivated post-Vitali Peter is used to judge the man as a whole. He was not a world beater, but he was not totally horrible either.

 

Who cares. The guy was a over muscled amateur. You take away fouls and he lands less than 10 punches per round.

 

Masakev is the only legitimate fighter you named. Jeremy Williams, who has he fought? Toney, is a blown up Middleweight. Last but not least the cowardly lion Jameel McCline is a waste of a 6'6" 265 man.
