Jesus Christ, this guy has to be the worst person to interview. I like him. I want him to win, I just don't wanna hang with him though.
It wouldn't let me paste the interview, but here is the link

The interviewer didn't ask many questions did he...
How's about these for starters
What do you think the outcome of the Rahman-Maskaev II fight will be?
How about the Brock-Timor Ibragimov fight?
What do you think of Nicolay Valuev?
What do you think of Sergei Lyakhovich?
If you could fight any of the title holders who would you like to fight most and why?
that interview sucked
RIVITING.........JUST RIVITING. I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT ;DQuote:

I agree.. when you are being interviewed and not many questions are asked let alone good ones, its not Sam's fault the thing blewQuote:

The first thing Samuel Peter needs is some new management.
His current team elevated his self-esteem way way way high and them pre-maturely put him in a title fight only to send his confidence way way way down.
On top of that, they will fix him up with all sorts of D-level opponents, then they go straight to title shots.
He really needs to work his way up the ladder and fight more top 10 opponents.........fuck even someone on the top 20 would be good because on your way up is where you get your knowledge and experience.
No one goes from kindergarten to college without passing through elementary, junior high and high school!!!
I am suprised he hasnt sought out a trainer like Freddy Roach or Manny Steward..The guy has a solid chin and helacious power he just needs someone to refine him,I would think one of the top trainers would be drooling over a prospect like that..Unless those guys dont see anything worthwile in him..I know I was reading an espn article about Teddy Atlas declined to work with him I think it was cause of his personality or mental make up or something like that(I will see if I can dig up the article )
Atlas refused to work with him because he wouldn't train away from home...KEVIN ROONEY anyone???
Steward's style wouldn't suit Peter....Roach could help him out though, maybe Ronnie Shields could help him.
The main problem is that he doesn't jab and he throws WAY too wide
first ....that interview blowed and I want that minute of my life back......second..Manny might refine and work on more rudimentary things with Peter....Manny says he just wants to add to not change a fighters style ....he might get Peter down to 240.....as far as Atlas why wouldn't you travel to train with Atlas?? that baffles me...another is why Kevin Rooney's phone/pager/cell is not ringing constantly baffles me....I think Rooney's and Atlas's training styles would be better for Peter than Roach's.....Manny would make him move alot more than he's used to as well....He's got the one thing you can't teach...POWER....Quote:

wow...that is a bold statement....I'm not saying that couldn't happen....but if he actually threw straight power shots and learned to actually fight...and any of those trainers mentioned above could do that....he could be dangerous...Quote:

The man has has 3 or 4 fights and he hasn't learned jack-shit. A year ago everyone out there was thinking that Peter was just a young talent on the horizon who had the tools to be the next Tyson if he could only gain more experience.
Personally, I was never that fond of the guy only because of the way the public pre-maturely put him on a pedastal.
The guy does have a lot of power, but you can also see most of his punches coming a mile away. The only reason why Williams didn't is because they were turning when he got hit.
yeah..I say give it 2-3 more fights and if he refuses to change his fighting style then it will be time to move him down to the also rans and never was.......Quote:

With Sam Peter the way to go would be work off his head movement (which he has 0 of) jab to get on the inside, and throw short hooks and uppercuts. But with his punching form he has obviously not learned anything, he is probably doing the whole George Foreman routine on the heavybag and his trainers are saying "yeah good, love the power" when really he should not use so much power so often, you don't have to throw a punch at 100% to knock someone out
I wanted to see him fight Briggs to see if he truly learned anything but that Long fight was a sham!
Problem is that his management team is putting him against absolute D-level competition in order to boost his confidence. Too bad he won't learn anything fighting there.Quote:

Cooney probably only had a few minutes with the guy in the first place.

Yep :coolclick: But I do hope he beats/Ko's Toney and then fights W.Klitschko again and gets his ass royaly handed to him by Knock out.Quote:

His manager had more face time with reporters than he did . The language barrier is the reason He ain't runnin for office folks. He's just looking for a name he can KO. After talking with him, now I know why a lot of fighters say " I have to talk with [my promoter] and my [team] .
Sidenote : I have a post fight interview coming out this week with Chazz Witherspoon on DHB . Great guy . Very articulate. HE breaks down his performance in a very honest manner.
I look forward to reading your article about Chazz Witherspoon , a very refreshing fighter for the Heavyweight Division. He fights very well on the inside for a Tall fighter, I love how he stays busy throwing punches. That how champions are made. conditioning, desire, and action .Quote:

Also I thought Peter’s stamina was pretty good for 6”1 260. When he learns some head movement and gets his weight in check. He will be champion. He is a diamond in the ruff, a little polishing and he will shine. ! No doubt about it ! IMO
Should be out in the morning .Quote:

I like Eddie Chambers but he is the true heavyweight version of Chris Byrd...meaning, he's a real heavyweight but he has no power but he's pretty slick
Well??? Um?? Uh... :tumbleweed:...I am not really sure what happened there...Is Brad new at this??? If I ever turned something like that in to Saddo I hope either him or Curtis would have the heart to tell me this reporting angle isn't quite my thing :nono:....Peter only answered the questions given...The guy cant do any more than that...Peters is a little more humble from what I have seen in the past..( at least what we had to read anyway ) I think being stunned by Wlad might have given him some of that....I think the real question here is Does Brad watch Boxing??
I retract most of what I said for some reason there is a lot of this interview missing...go to the sight itself and read the whole thing...
Does Brad Cooney watch boxing??? Dude, you people pile on this guy, and he's one of the best boxing interviewers out there. Now you retract what you said because you found that part of his interview with Peter was missing, and that's cool. The only reason I am defending the guy is because I have been reading his stuff with people like Freddie Roach, Marco Antonio Barrera, Shane Mosely, Calvin Brock, Larry Holmes, and the list goes on, for years. It's funny how some people just sit in boxing forums and hate on people.
JM
I have read interviews of Brads before...was just wondering what happened...When I made the comment "Does he watch boxing" with what was shown in the interview link it was like this was his first time...My question is how did all the rest of the interview get taken out of the link???...Quote:

Peter is not afraid of taking any fighter on, and now that he has a loss on his record he doesn't have a '0' to protect.. People will sit up and listen more when he batters James Toney.. That is when he will come into his own and be aknowledged as a Solid threat.. O0
