Other than Valuev eating him?........Literally....
Could happen - Tyson attempted it against Holyfield. But seriously, If Sam Peter continues to work on his skills, he would beat Wlad. However, I don't think Steward will allow Wlad to fight Peter again. I also think Calvin Brock could beat him now. Wlad looked great against Byrd, but he is as streaky as Rahman.
Why would Wlad fight him again......he completely outclassed him. I don't see much demand for Wlad-Peter II yet.

And what strategy would Brock employ to beat Wlad??
I don't necessarily think there is much demand for a Wlad-Peter II either. I am just responding to the opinion that no one can beat Wlad right now. I believe that if Peter was a little better boxer or a little more lucky he could beat Wlad.

As far as Brock goes, I think he matches up against Wlad better than any other top contender right now. He has big underrated power (22 of 28 by KO), great stamina (never seen him get tired), a solid chin (only been knocked down once and never hurt in 28 pro fights) and he can box. Wlad turns into a much different fighter when he gets hit (Byrd can box, but can't punch and Wlad looked great. Peter can punch but can't box and Wlad survived a decision). Wlad has real power, can box, great stamina, but no chin. I know it's not a popular opinion right now, but I pick Brock to win that fight. I think it's a big mistake for Steward to schedule Brock as a first defense.
