Who should Samuel Peter Fight?

[Sweden]

Who would like to see against Peter?

[brooklyn1550]

Oliver McCall
David Tua
Vladimir Virchis
Hasim Rahman

Any one would be fine with me, preferably McCall or Virchis since they deserve it the most. Tua would make for an absolute war and Rahman wouldn't be a bad fight until Peter can actually face Maskaev.

I just hope the show is still on at MSG for the 6th

I agree, but I would prefer Tua he has the fans, the name and the punch to make the fight interesting.

McCall is way to hyped, he has not beaten anyone since Akinwande years ago. I can't understand his high ranking, sure he beat SSS, but SSS struggled big time with Tua victim Montana. Thus, SSS isn't even a top 20 guy.

I would love to see Peter v. Tua. I wouldn't be surprised if either guy won, although I would lean towards Peter by decision.

I think Peter beats McCall by decision

McCall should get his shot

[Jose FM]

#2 or #3 WBC contender, for the vacant belt, Maskaev hasnt fought a mandatory yet, and hes has the belt since august of last year so way over a year now.

[RUSKULL]

Virchis

[Sweden]

#2 or #3 WBC contender, for the vacant belt, Maskaev hasnt fought a mandatory yet, and hes has the belt since august of last year so way over a year now.

Judging from McCall's last outings he would lose a loopsided decision to Peter. It will be onesided and fairly boring, resembling the Peter-Hawkins fight.

Tuaman can at least bring some excitement, but if the rankings were to be taken seriously McCall would get a shot. But rankings are rarely into play, look at Ibragimov's next opponent...

[Irländsk]

How many shots have McCall and Rahman had?Fuck them let's see some new guys get a go, give virchis a shot for fucks sake, Dimitrienko is also a good match up, we don't need another Holyfield-Ibragimov farce, these old cunts need to retire, meaning Moorer, Holyfield, Bowe, McCall, Rahman,Vitali, Maskaev and Briggs.

[mykolakozak]

Virchis...other than Wlad, he is the only one with a fist that can KO peter. And Peter has a chance to give this man his first KO

[andyZOR]

McCall

[mykolakozak]

McCall

Reason please

Virchis could be interesting, but I doubt he can KO Peter. His last outing against the Italian guy wasn't very impressive. Virchis needs to bring his A-game, the way he fough against Chagaev and when he won kayoed the Italian in their first bout.

However, I feel that a lot of the fighters on this list are more interesting opponents than Maskaev.

[Max Molyneux]

McCall Or Rahman, not just some puncher who will give him an esy fight.

[jisi]

Oliver McCall deserves the shot, he beat Sinan Samil Sam in his hometown.

[Heavyrighthand]

Reason please

Cause McCall is ranked #2, just below Peter, and McCall was also told he's a mandatory for the WBC title. Suliaman's word has to mean something.

McCall is the only fair choice. Fairness and who's deserving should count for something, you know.

And I think its about time they do right by those who rightfully deserve these titleshots, instead of merely handing them out to anyone and everyone who don't deserve squat, just cause they have Don King behind them.

McCall should be the chance, first and foremost, then if McCall can't take it, for whateve reason, Virchis should be next, as he's third in rankings.

[NBT]

Nope, Virchis is #2, McCall #3. And I don't think a win over limited, fat and way past it SSS should get him a title shot before Virchis, despite what Suleyman said. Virchis deserves it more.

David Tua

Hopkins. After cleaning out the lightheavyweight division, it is only natural that he should do the same for the heavyweights -fullstop-

Your not funny. Just thought Id let you know.

Thank you my good man

You will win a cupie doll -fullstop-

[bumdujour]

Virchis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bigcat]

Oliver has served his time in the wilderness and the fact that he is still here 13 years after he was champ tells a story. He is in line for a challenge at some point so let him earn it by taking this fight and competing at the highest level with something on the line to see if he still has the fire inside him to become a champion once more.

[Artani]

Reason please
Because he wins the WBC intercontinental title with one of the best heavyweight in the last ten years Sinan Samil Sam.

how about sergei liakovich, sorry for spelling his last name wrong

Will never happen. Both Peter and Lyakhovich are managed by Gotzev.

[box03]

Mccall's ATG chin makes the fight seem very interesting to me, if Rahman gets the shot against Peter I will be very disappointed and let down as a boxing fan. While Im not going to say Peter is the most skilled boxer in the game today, his style is fun to watch. All the Wlad fans that say Peter is garbage, whats that say about your fighter when the so called garbage fighter put Wlad on his ass 3 times.

[brooklyn1550]

Yeah, I've noticed that big Klitschko fans like to call Peter "garbage" and "crap," but the bottom line is, rabbit punches or now, out of Byrd, Brock, Austin, and Brewster, he gave Wladimir his toughest fight.

what does it say about your boy there, that his signature fight is one that lost pretty badly.

[box03]

The punches he threw were perfectly legal considering Wlad put his head down and tried to clinch, if the punches were illegal as some Wlad fans suggest the ref would of warned Peter and the knockdowns wouldnt of counted. You cant put your head down and turn your back in a fight, you get hit in the back of your head thats your problem. Hagler hit Hearns in the back of the head , Foreman hit Fraizer in the back of the head, both of there knockdowns counted. People should read a boxing rule book before claiming Peters punches were illegal, but I guess Wlad leaning on fighters backs and necks isnt.

[brooklyn1550]

It says that he is still a young heavyweight who held his own, but clearly lost against the best heavyweight in the world.

There is no shame in losing to Wladimir and give Peter credit: he lasted the full 12 without going down.

And since he is still young, he has plenty of opportunities to face and beat top heavyweights. He isn't "a notch above garbage" as you put it.

if your boy had any skill, you wouldn't have to make excuses for him: thus, the term garbage is accurate

[brooklyn1550]

It's easy to talk shit about a world ranked fighter when you haven't stepped in a ring and fought before. Garbage is not accurate. No fighter should be labeled garbage, especially when they have risen to the number 2 spot in their division according to RING Magazine (whether you agree with it or not).

[box03]

if your boy had any skill, you wouldn't have to make excuses for him: thus, the term garbage is accurate People want to see him fight, he has a very exciting fighting style. George Foreman wasnt the most skilled boxer in the world, yet beat very good fighters throughout his career and retired an ATG.

whether a fighter is an atg is a relative statement, and sam peter hasn't beaten any good fighters (toney was a good middleweight-cruiserweight)

[brooklyn1550]

whether a fighter is an atg is a relative statement, and sam peter hasn't beaten any good fighters (toney was a good middleweight-cruiserweight)

He hasn't beaten the competition that a lot of heavyweights have now, but Rahman, Holyfield, Ruiz, and Guinn couldn't beat Toney. Peter did the 1st fight (although it was controversial) and he easily beat him the 2nd fight, so he did perform better against Toney than those guys did.

[box03]

whether a fighter is an atg is a relative statement, and sam peter hasn't beaten any good fighters (toney was a good middleweight-cruiserweight) The same middlewieght/cruiser that also beat Holyfield and Ruiz at Heavywieght, and retired a undefeated prospect in Rydell Booker.

you're not really helping your case
