I'm behind Sam Peter 100%, but his natural build is his best friend and worst enemy. I agree that he needs head movement, but unless he grows a neck it's not happening. It helped him absorb Wlad's punch, but it makes his head a stationary target.

They should call him Sam "Head & Shoulders" Peter
Actually no neck is good for a stocky fighter. Ray Mercer, David Tua, ext, you can withstand the onslaught of the taller fighter better. ,the problem with long necked fighters is they exaggerate the punch when they get hit. Judges can easily see a landed punch on the long necks. Plus long necks tend to get knocked out more because of the rotation of the spine / brain when they get hit good. The only thing good about a long neck is if you talking about beer !

Now I think what makes Peter a stationary target is his massive waist line. If he come in at 227-230lbs, he would rule ! CC- thanks for the reply Boxing G
