    Maskaev might have more power, but he doesnt have the chin Mccline has either. I really believe Peter will come out with a huge KO victory, he has been fighting tough guys with good chins lately so this might be a breath of fresh air for Peter.

    If Peter does lose this match I will be shocked, Peter has alot to prove to his fans and critics alike, I promise you he wont dissappoint.:yep

    Mccline has a better chin, but I honestly thought he was totally shot! Anyone that seen Mcclines fight against Rob Calloway on FNF's, which Mccline barely won, seen how poor he looked. It was bad!

    Also his recent lose to Zuri Lawerence and his injury loss Valuev, plus getting up in age. I expected Mccline to be blitzkreiged (sp). But, it turned out though Mccline nearly KTFO of Peter early.

    I guess them Roids gave him much needed life in that fight, but Mccline usually comes out strong in title fights like he did against Bryd and Valuev, I heard he was giving it to Valuev before the injury.

    Peter had a bad night, which is understanble seeing that didnt know who his oppenent was to last minute. I think he trained and sparred with fighters that fought like Maskaev, not Mccline. Peter will win because hes the tougher and stronger fighter.

    This is true, while your never done in this weak heavywieght division, it will be tough for him to recover from such a devastating loss. Thats just hope hes ready to go to war with Maskaev and make us proud, his power will be on display 2-2-08.:good

    So far Peter has not proven to have any world class power.
    The only thing he has proven is that he does not have a world class chin.

    Now knocking out Maskaev will not do anything to change that... Maskaev is known to have a weak chin but at least Peter will have KO'd a top 10 heavy and i will give him credit for that.

    That said i hope Maskaev knocks him out (but i expect Peter to win) the ammount of rabbit punching and low blowing really made me sick.... the excuse of his horrible technique only goes so far he clearly does it on purpose too.

    Every great fighter uses dirty tactics to win, hes no different to all the greats that came before him. Ali- holding and hitting, Wlad- laying wieght on back and neck, Holyfield- blatant head butting, Ruiz- excessive holding, Lewis- leaning on back and neck, theres fouls in every sport why should boxing be any different?

    Every single 1 of those fighters with Ruiz as the sole exception had some top notch skills and their fouling did not hide those.
    Now even Ruiz has a much larger skill set than Peter but his cheating was blatantly excessive too.

    Peter is a crude, wide looping slugger with virtually no technique that cheats very very excessively in almost every match where he faces a challenge (note how the other fighters except Ruiz all did win matches with almost no cheating)
    On top of that rabbit punching is very dangerous foul that carries a high risk factor.

    I do not know why you keep defending Peter's methods but i guess to each their own.

    Headbutts aint as dangerous? just ask Mike Tyson and Rahman and see what they have to say about that, it helped to cause them both to lose. Everybody I named used these tactics to help win them there matches, what Sam Peter does is no different and I think you know that.

    Peter has improved greatly in his fighting style, his jab is good and his body work has greatly improved. Peter is becoming less crude with every match he fights, lets just hope his improvement continues for the sake of the heavywieght division.

    But let's be honest here, you've said multiple times that Wlad has a glass jaw, etc etc.

    So if Peter has that devastating power like you said he does, why couldn't he knock out a glass jawed fighter? You're saying that he fought hard to knockout opposition... well Wlad has a glass jaw (according to you) and Toney was a 38 year old 50lbs overweight middelweight.
    He did stun Toney every 2 or 3 rounds and hurt him a couple of times and i do believe Peter punches hard. But still.....

    He's a bit like Ron Lyle. A massive strong dude but who's power is a bit overrated: both Lyle and Peter's big fights all went the distance.

    :good I've thought the same thing. He floors and hurts guys, but in his 4 biggest fights, he's yet to knock anybody out.

    You make good points, but I have answers to both. Wlad I still believe does have a glass jaw, Peter just turned 25 when he fought Wlad which means he probably was too green to fight a guy like Wlad. When Peter had Wlad hurt he smothered his best punches, and Wlads clinching proved to be very effective against Peter as well. I think Peter could and will beat Wlad the next time they fight, but time will only tell if Wlad/Peter 2 ever happens.

    As far as Toney goes he has a damn good chin that some of the best couldnt knockout, but Sam Peter was the closest IMO. Toney rolls with most of his punches which takes alot of the force out of them, Toney took Rahman, Holyfield, and Ruiz' best and didnt go anywhere, so its tough to really question Peters power when fighting a guy like Toney.
