I'm not discrediting Wladamir bc he has dominated the heavy ranks for awhile but Peter can cause trouble with him and 3 knockdowns is enough to go on in their 1st fight.

I gotta commend you for not taking the easy way out and going for Klitshcko

I still think Dr Steelhammer will win - I know the first fight doesn't mean anything when a rematch takes place between the two - but Klitschko is a smart fighter and better conditioned - I think it'll be a similar fight to the first - Klitschko will get rocked by Peter - but he'll still find a way to win with his smarts, length and conditioning

I dunno how we can post three arguments for this - we'll just end up rehashing fact after fact ^_^

yeah i feel yah. I'm a huge Peter fan but i believe his boxing skills are not as sharp as Wladamir's but power edge goes to the nigerian nightmare.

I like Peter in late knockout.

I think if anyone can beat Klitschko, it'd be Peter - he was pretty good against Maskaev tonight huh? however, with that said - let's not get overly excited just yet
you said it bro!

Yea - but again - let's not get too excited and totally discount Klitschko ^_^

Yea - but again - let's not get too excited and totally discount Klitschko ^_^yEAH WHAT MAKES ME DISCREDIT KLITSCHKO IS THAT HE HAS BEEN ROCKED BY SAM PETER. THAT WAS 2 YEARS AGO BRO. KLITSCHKO IS GREAT BUT NOT THE GREATEST BY NO MEANS. HE DOES HAVE FLAWS BELIEVE IT OR NOT. PETER DOES TOO BUT HE CAN ROCK WLADAMIR, IT'S BEEN SEEN BY MANY ON SHOWTIME 2 YEARS AGO.

WHERE'S BUCKY? HE WILL TELL THE TRUTH.

"Who cares about Klitschko's PHD that's for outside boxing! "

Seriously - are you slow? Could you not tell I was being facetious? You need to get a sense of humor

After seeing Wlad fight his last couple of fights don't look forward to these fights anymore. Peter's fight tonight wasn't bad but it wasn't all that great. The punch counts weren't that great for heavyweights but at least they were willing to mix it up unlike last week. Wlad in his last few fights looks like he is totally unwilling to ever mix it up. He just wears his opponents down with his massive jab and clinches or runs away every time his opponent tries to fight.

I see Wlad fighting another extremely safe first fight and win with his jab again. Peter is good and has a good punch but you can tell this guy isn't nearly as smart and has isn't nearly as polished of boxer in the ring as Klitschko. Peter's shots are looping and his hands aren't very fast at all. That spells great danger for punishing jabber like Wladimir. Klitschko as far as boxing skills go is truly amazing and not just for his size either. He should be a much better fighter but he has the weakest chin I have ever seen on a big guy. So he fights scared and that bothers me. Wlad has adopted this safe first style since being KOed those couple of times. Could Peter expose that chin? Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it. Peter showed a good chin tonight but didn't his last time out. Wlad's jab is extremely powerful and punishing. He can probably hide behind that and give us boring fights for sometime now. I have even found his recent KOs boring. Anyone can beat him if they can get to his chin. I think it will take a taller fighter, right now I would guess Tony Thompson. I think he has the right tools to get to Wladimir but I wouldn't put money on that one either.

Peter was young when they met the first time and is still pretty young for heavyweight. I just think his punching is to looping to beat an effective against a boxer with the skill set of Wladimir.

The first fight last night was the shocker. Can't believe Diaz lost that fight. Campbell fought a brillant fight and just beat the #1 lightweight. I don't know if he gets all of Diaz belts but he should, Diaz had 3 of 4 belts. It shouldn't even have been a split decision. This is coming from a huge Diaz fan. Diaz just couldn't control all the action like he normally does. Would love to see a rematch but I don't the Don will let that happen. Great fight Campbell.

You know much more about boxing than me so it's nice to know you agree with some of my points - and you're right - when I watch Klitschko's fights, they're always talking about his weak chin - maybe Peter can get a few lucky shots in and finish Klitschko off - but I'm still thinking Klitschko will be defensive and pick his spots - it's not exciting but at least it's effective

The reason I doubt Peter is because he doesn't land on the chin to often. He throws looping punches that hit you on the side of the face or in the back of the head. Tony Thompson in my belief is a much bigger threat. A big south paw who can do some damage. He is 36 but didn't start boxing professionally until he was 28. He reminds people of Corrie Sanders so I guess that is why people think he might be able to get to Wlad's chin. He is tall enough and has the reach to contend a little better than the other fighters at the heavyweight division. If Tony can't KO Wladimir than we might have until Chris Arreola comes up to challenge Wlad. Not a lot of guys that can contend with Wlad's size. To bad he doesn't have his brother's chin. If he did than we would have a monster fighter who could mix it up a little. Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis was the best heavyweight fight I have seen in my lifetime. Better than any of Tyson's and Holyfield's fights.

Klitschko is great but his chin isn't all that. manning to harrison is a media name lover. That means he goes for the obvious. Peter clearly scared Wladamir in their first fight. I'm sure Peter will be Wladamir's toughest opponent and threat for sure.

Peter needs to be able to work the jab better than he does. I don't see that jab being effective at all against the taller Wladimir. Peter is tough SOB but he isn't the most polished fighter. Like I stated before he throws big looping punches that Klitschko a very polished boxer will be able to set up his jab to easily with this type of fighter. The person that defeats Klitschko in my opinion will be a fighter that can match his reach and throw a nasty straight handed left.

Dude - You started a TD arguing about Peter and Klitschko - You picked Peter - If I don't argue for Klitschko, who am I going to argue for? If I wanted to take this TD, did I have any other choice OTHER than Klitschko? You're weird
