Sam Peter is now a stepping stone for younger fighters....if I was Alexander Dimitrenko or Cris Arreola I would consider fighting him and trying to KO him. Jameel McCline could even rematch Sam Peter and try to avenge his loss. Hell Dominick Guinn could try a shot at Sam Peter and try to get back in the mix.
Eddie Chambers is the new Chris Byrd....he's technically very skilled but he's not going to run the division anytime soon because of his size, lack of power, and output. Though I think the Prime Chris Byrd is a solid fighter, but he wasn't flashy and he wasn't an offensive fighter which you HAVE TO BE at heavyweight.
The division has depth, it really does but what it lacks is CONSISTENCY....Sam Peter could KO anyone a couple years ago and now it looks as if anybody could beat him.
The one positive thing that could come out of something like this is making Title Unification fights the only heavyweight fights in demand....David Haye isn't the saviour of the division either, he'll lose to both Wlad and Vitali.
