    Have we just expected too much from Peter or has he really not lived up too his potential?
    Ill make my decision on Saturday after the fight

    I hope Peter wins. The last thing we want is two boring brothers who arent willing to take chances, holding the belts . Its bad enough now. It will be even worse when Vitalis back as champ , delaying fights , pulling out and messing everyone around etc . Peter is a vunerable champ but he has power so I think there are better fights down the road if he stays as champ . Id give him a chance of beating Wvlad in the return .

    I don't think so, I mean there's a tendency to always overrate a big puncher. I hate this expression, its becoming criminally overused but, oh well, he is what he is. A big strong slow guy who throws clubbing punches and gets hit too much.

    look at Miranda, now everybody knows that he was a bit overhyped but the next time a big strong dude comes around who's knocking people out left and right we'll forget about what happened to guys like Miranda and hype him up as the next big thing.

    I don't think he has disappointed. He is a young plodder with a decent dig that can't live up to the hype people created for him.

    He was overrated simply because in a stagnant boring divison, full of fossils and devoid of any stars along came a YOUNG guy that could bang.

    It says it all that the 28 year-old "champion" is UNDERDOG against the 38 year-old coming off a four year retirement.
