Alrighty then. We'll agree that everyone but me thinks that Peter's punches to the back of the head are not all intentional nor all his fault.

Anywho...we agree that Sam-U-El is going to bring some excitement back to the division. We agree he is improving, right? We agree that he beat Toney, right?

What does that say about James Toney then?
Also...who's gonna beat him...outside of Wlad...because that's already happened.

Not trying to be catty...just wanting to discuss...because we aint been involved in one of these ole' debates in a loooooooooooong time.
No, not all of the rabbit punches are intentional. I'm not even sure if any of them are intentional. He looked better in the last fight and looked a bit better defensively.
Toney did lose the last fight. Don't think even the most ardent Toney fan could argue with that.
In the end, I think it says much of what many of us have already been saying:
Toney didn't come in better conditioned for this fight; yes, a bit more solid, but no leg movement.
Toney is a lazy fat-ass who should hang his head in shame.

I'm far from sold on Peter, but to be objective, I would have to admit that he's a lot better. After boxing with some of the best in the division, he can't help but to improve.
I think Peter has a good chance of beating most title holders at this point. Although I think Klitschko would be his toughest test. But strangely I see some of the previous title holders giving him problems, e.g. Byrd, and swallow whatever you're drinking before you read further...Ruiz. Those clinch and punch styles seem to present problems for Peter.

I haven't made my mind up on Peter yet. There's still more to come and more to see. I'm not entirely convinced that he'll walk through Maskaev either, although Maskaev's chin is not Toney's chin, he does hit much harder than Toney. I'm sure that Peter will win the fight, though. That is, if it actually happens.
