"Peter's going to find out that this is not the place for him. Wladimir is not another class-C guy. He (Peter) was fighting the B-level boys, the Charles Shuffords and Jovo Pudars and he struggled with them. So then, they brought back the class-C level guys again for him to walk through. The perception of this fight is that it's a rough, tough, hard-punching guy going against the most fragile, no-chin, and no-confidence fighter in the heavyweight division. In the public's mind, it's the meanest and the toughest guy against the most timid and fragile guy and Peter wins by KO. But don't forget, Klitschko can punch also. To be hit by a 250-lb man who knows what he's doing will be a new experience for Peter."
-- Emmanuel Steward, trainer of Wladimir Klitschko.
"I hope this guy Klitschko is at his best because when Sam knocks him out. I don't want to hear excuses about 'somebody put salve on his legs,' and things like that. I hope Klitschko comes ready, no excuses."
Andy "Pops" Anderson, trainer of Samuel Peter.
