Good post & this should all turn into a great discussion. I'll semi sort of agree here.

Yes Peter needs to improve his abilities & needs to concentrate on more than power alone.

Honestly...I don't see it as Wlad getting lucky. Peter busted his melon several times. I really don't believe that chin is an issue with Wlad. If you watch his losses...the kid's got a hell of a chin...his issues are more stamina related. He just falls apart after not being able to close the distance or KO his opponent.

Also, in Wlad's defense...49 fights with 46 wins & 41 ko's aint that bad. He's lost only 3 times in 10 years...& again...I honestly believe that two of those were stamina related. Sanders did indeed blast him out. No denial there.

Back on the subject...Peter would be great if he were to be refined. He will need to either catch Toney or Toney will have to get stupid & try to man up with Peter. No way Peter outboxes Toney.

Agreed.

I hope so...God, I hope so. IWO, Toney does more bad for the division than he does good.

Brewster is pitiful.

Brewster is exciting because you never know what Brewster is going to show up...but that's also very VERY bad too...I just don't dig on that. That's one of the main reasons I just don't like Toney...that & the fact that he's never beaten a decent heavy...period. He lost to Rahman...that sure as hell weren't a gotdam draw!

Anyways, back to Brewster. Anyone that can't get up for Meehan & Etienne is a joke. No matter what the judges though...Meehan handed Brewster a loss...that was a bullshit decision...that poor poor Garbage Man. Losing to Lyakhovich don't mean shit either, IWO. Lyakhovich will get blasted out soon enough.
