Sam Peter has never and will never dominate a boxer...he's David Izon in disguise!
I agree he has slightly less boxing ability than Butterbean but he IS fun to watch. There is NOONE in the heavyweight division apart from Toney who even comes close to possessing the 'sweet science' so why pick on Peter?

I'd rather Peter sticks with what works for him. He's never going to be a boxer so why bother trying? He's got far more chance against someone like Wladimr by going for a knockout than he would have by trying to box him so let him do what he does best.

The fun part for me is seeing if those who do posses 'the sweet science' can use their boxing skills to beat the slugger.

For me the jury is still open. Wlad did beat Peter BUT he got dropped 3 times so a rematch would be interesting.

Personally though I would like to see Peter lose some weight. He is far too fat. He looks like Jeff Lacy after following the James Toney high fat diet.
