    I've got a theory on why peter punches to the back of the head so much, it's because he throws medium speed wide punches. what happens is his opponent sees it coming and starts to duck and the punch comes just fast enough to get their without missing, so peter throws a wide shot, the opponent reacts but the punch makes it their and lands on the side or behind the head.

    when he's in the clinches though he definitely looks to hit behind the head, he learned it from fighting james toney and until he loses some points for it he'll continue doing it.

    We could not punch behind the head years ago. Those punches are very dangerous, they land at the base of the skull. They are not allowed in sparring which is the reason Peter must be doing it on purpose. If referees start taking punches away from him for it then he will finally stop.

    I agree, but it's easy to hit Peter!!!!!!! Vlad will win very impressively if he can get Peter back into the ring, which I doubt, however, Vitali can force Peter into the fight legally, he is the WBC Emeritus champion and those are the rules.

    Wlad cant Knock Peter out if he pitter patters at him all night. No doubt after being floored 3 times by Peter he'll be even more tentative than he was against Iggy.

    I think Wlad should keep Unifying, his brother gets first shot at Peter so that means Chagaev for Wlad. Thats not such a bad fight, Ruslan can fight and will probably (hopfully) be more agressive than Iggy. If Peter veats Vitali then theres def reason to fight again, one ot avenge his brother whos so far done all the avenging for the Klits. But to also have a Undisputed Heavyweight Champion once and for all which everyone is crying out for!

    Yes, but Valouev is Chagaev's mandatory and he is co-owned by Don King.

    yes, but we're changing it to the sam peter special as a mark of respect to the new wbc champion, if it becomes more widely known I'm gonna trademark it........ lampley: and there's a devastating sam peter special, and vitali is on the ropes! kellerman: you mean 'rabbit punch?' lampley: no, it's the sam peter special! and shut the hell up max!!!!!!!!!!!

    Nobody can tell me that this wasn't intentional. Peter swung up and around Wlad's back and knew exactly where he was going to hit him.
