Peter is a limited fighter but in the current crop of heavies he fits in well! I think against any of the top 10 guys he could lose on their day... but he could also KO anyone of them! They are all very mediocre IMO

The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be
Yeah but I'd rather watch paint dry than watch Klitschko fight. Lets not forget that Wlad has been stopped before, I know he has improved a heap since then but the facts are the facts. His a** was knocked silly twice! In a rematch with Peter I think it could be a bombs away fight from both guys (wishful thinking) & Peter has the power to stop Wlad. I don't think he will but thats the fight I wanna see next...

Well you just wait for someone to come beat Wladimir....and I'll enjoy my fighter's time at the top of the division.
He fights to his strength...everyone knows his weaknesses and yet not a lot of people can beat him
....So his last fight wasn't fun to watch....it's not 100% Wlad's fault....50%-75% I agree but the guy won in the way the other fighter gave him the opportunity to win.
If taking wild risks always won people fights then Oliver McCall on a crack binge would be the heavyweight champ!
You have to acknowledge that he knocked Klitschko down 3 times. So obviously Klitschko isn't untouchable. I don't think Peter wins a rematch but you're off if you think that Peter has no shot. He knocked him down 3 times.
Sam's a poor technical boxer, very poor in fact. He is physically very strong and has decent power, but it would be an inclination of how low the division has actually got if he were to become the undisputed champ, as opposed to an inclination of how good he is.
Sam Peter is arguably the 2nd best active heavyweight in the division. Say what you want, he just knocked out a title holder, though. He would be overrated if the weight class were chock-full of elite talent, which it is not right not and even then perhaps. We don't know whether or not Peter would have risen to the occasion and improved greatly. He certainly improved against Toney, he very well could have if there were 5 or more elite-level heavies jockeying for a belt. To say that Peter is overrated is to say there's a line of people behind him who should be in front of him. Which of these alleged people have beaten him or carved out a better resume? Vitali Klitschko is broken down and trying to rebuild himself for a title bout after several years in retirement. Nikolai Valuev lost after taking the path of least resistance to a title and then getting outpointed by Chagaev. Chagaev himself is still unproven and so far as any of us can tell, ran away from a bout with Sultan Ibragimov. Ibragimov just lost his belt. You're on crack if you think Alexander Povetkin stands a chance. That guy was on steam midway through his fight with pillow-fisted Eddie Chambers. Tony Thompson- another guy who's in the middle of nowhere and 35 years old, no less and if you expect us to take you seriously then you'd better tell us you're kidding about John "David-Tua-lopped-my-head-off-and-James-Toney-made-me-his-bitch" Ruiz. You try to bear hug a bear you'll get raped and eaten by said bear.
