There are contenders and pretenders, but knockout artist Sam Peter, is ranked in the top five by all major organizations, and is also universally recognized as the top contender. Now, Peter is on a mission. “Sam clearly illustrated that he belongs with the heavyweight elite in his match against Wladimir Klitschko last year,” said his promoter Dino Duva. “Considering the many lethargic, non-exciting televised matches recently featuring so-called champions and contenders, Sam is the best heavyweight out there to put on a great show because of his electrifying punching power.”

But now, the hard-punching powerhouse has his sites set only on meaningful matches that will ultimately unify the world heavyweight championship.

“Our mission is to have Sam fight only meaningful fights, beginning with his next bout, that put him in a position where every fight he has is the next step toward unifying the heavyweight title,” said Duva. “By 2007, the unification mission will be done and we will not be stopped.”

If that's the case...Peter needs to stop bum beating & fight even the fringe contenders.

I'd love to see Peter fight Brock, Thompson, Fields, Minto, Briggs, or most especailly...Valuev!

i like sam peter to be second best next to wlady...sam can improve...his fights are less boring then other heavyweights...he'll k.o brock...both brock and briggs would get killed by wlady...peter lasted 12 and almost took out wlady...i like peters aggression and he can punch and take a punch...brock and briggs are boring...peter and wlady are the best to watch in the heavyweights...

but right now wlady is the best out of all the heavyweights...

I agree with you one this. Peter bring excitement to the Heavyweights, I actually look forward to watching Sam Peter fight because win or lose you know he is going to bring it. the other heavyweight bore me to death , after about 3 rounds I usually tune to something else. nothing worse than watching a typical heavyweight fight. the fat bastards !

cc lordgym for agreeing with me...yea very true other heavyweights make you want to change the channel they are so boring...

I agree partially here.

Here's why...I like Sam Peter...but he's limited as a boxer...if his power fails him...he has very little to fall back on. I think that he needs a proper trainer & he'll go far. I think that Brock vs Peter would be a good fight...& even though I don't rate Briggs...I see Briggs being a tuff fight for Peter based on Brigg's jab.

Peter did indeed do well as far as lasting against Wlad...but Wlad made him look pretty silly in the end.

Agreed 100% here.

Wlad is currently the best of the crop.

An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry, LK...Wacko can't repeat a karma action without waiting 24 hours.

We were reading a similiar thread like this a couple of weeks ago about Calvin Brock saying the same thing, I hope one can take over the division

Peter thinks he's the only real contender. I could agree with that. Thing is, that a contender is all he'll ever be. He won't be champion.

You are right on about the power factor, if Peter goes up against a good beard he is vulnerable , Sam is a diamond in the rough and needs some more training. As for Shannon Briggs he do have a good jab, but he fatigue quite easy and I think Peter's power would buckle Briggs fairly early if the y fought - IMO

Silly? He looked far from silly imo. He gave Wlad a tough fight, probably the toughest fight that he has come out the victor in. I mean...if it hadn't of been a do or die fight for Wlad then I think Peter wins that fight. But he needs a better corner.

As for Peter being the only exciting heavyweight contender....Lamon Brewster should have something to say about that.

Sam peter was schooled by Wlad... he knocked Wlad down once properly in my eyes... asides from that Wlad won virtually every mnite... 1st and second times where from balance/grappling/and shots to the back of the head.

I don't think so. Whenever Wlad got hurt by Peter, he grabbed him and turned his head. Even the boxing commission afterwards said they were proper knockdowns.

Sorry amat.

Replace "silly" with "limited" & you still get "silly" babe.

He did give Wlad a tough fight...but you saw what happened to him relying on his power.

As far as that goes...if you continously rely on power & you have another heavy in front of you that takes all of your power...you get pasted.

I acknowledge that Peter is exciting...but he is limited. No doubts.

He looks great against boxers that are easily outmuscled.

Well.....yeah. Unfortunately since I'm a real big fan of the guy. That's why he needs a new corner imo.
