Is Sam Peter a big disappointment?

[FinitoElDinamita]

I dont want to be so negative, but, what is there to like about Sam Peter? He respresents everything that's bad about the current HW division. He's the epitome of a modern day heavyweight who's fat, out of shape and a lazy plodder who looks for that one punch. He comes off as a fighter who doesnt take his craft seriously and there's nothing respectable about that. People started hyping him after he knocked out Jeremy Williams but so what? the best thing he's done was knocking down wlad with illegal rabbit punches and the only time when i was mildy impressed was in the Toney rematch where he actually bounced on his toes and threw jabs. For a second there, i thought he was Ali or something....lolz He was lucky to even get the rematch because Toney definitely beat him the first time..

Sam Peter's whole career has lived off 1 big punch against Jeremy Williams imo

First time I saw Sam Peter he was being hailed as the next Mike Tyson, then he went out there and fought like shit against Charles Shufford.

He looked very improved and good against James Toney in their second fight.

That got my hopes up, as did his first fight with Wladimir.

Pretty much ever since then he has looked about like he did against Shufford...SHIT.

He reminds me of an Eddie Murphy character from Coming to America. So i never expected much from him.

That's probably just the right side of racist aswell. I hope.

Big is the operative word, he showed his best form against James Toney in the second fight and obviously the first fight with Wlad. Since then he has been over weight and unmotivated. His pitiful performance against Vitali losing every round and quitting was embarrassing. His re-match with Wlad was poor too. The fact that he won a title says all we need to know about the current heavyweight scene. In the 1990’s he would have only been a contender never a champion.

There have been many heavyweights who disappoint Tua, Grant and Audley come to mind.

Lou Savarese, Axel Shultz, and Michael Bent would have all been very competitive with Sam Peter. Shultz would have beat him.
