Vitali Klitschko - Sam Peter

[Bomp]

As most guys IMO Vitali batters Peter if he's at his best, I seriously doubt it after the lay off. Peter is a turd but it would be bad for the division if lost to Vitali as it would scupper the obvious unification fight.

I think Vitali won't be as hurt by the layoff as most fighters as his rhythm is different anyway and he doesn't rely on that for his offense or defense.


Sam Peter is a decent fighter for this era however he's limited AND he is inconsistent. He can totally knock the crap out of a guy and then he can turn around and get almost KO'd by JAMEEL MCCLINE.


Honestly I would like to see Vitali win the title and then have a showdown with Nicolay Valuev for the other belt.


As for Sam Peter, I want him to fight the following in order: Tye Fields (I want to see a dominant Peter beat Fields the hell out of boxing), Ruslan Chagaev (they are both tough and strong), and David Haye, I think that match up is more competitive and feasable at this point in time than a Haye-Klitschko matchup.

I stopped getting excited about Vitali comeback fights cause they will never happen.. 4 years worth of realtime fight rust and a propesity to injure his lowerback dosent spell well for a fighter... I love Vitali and think he coulda been a great but his time has come and gone.

Amazing how most write off Peter so fast Vitali is famous for ALMOST beating a fat Lennox Lewis

Point of fact though, Vitali was winning that fight and the momentum and rhythm in his favor. It was the cut that was his downfall. Lennox hould have given him a rematch period.

Completely disagree Killer on a few different fronts. One, I don't think Lewis owed him a rematch, he was retiring and that's a personal decision and Lennox had nothing to prove except to those that wanted to see him lose and thought they were getting that in the first fight. I also feel the momentum was Lewis' direction as he won the last 2 rounds imo.

As for this fight, it's been 4 years you can't discount that. I have no idea but guy feeling tells me Peter. He's a hard hjitter and I just don't see how Vitali is going to come back after 4 years and be impressive. Jjust don't see it happening.
