Who comes to mind?

The first person I thought of was Sam Peter. All I hear about is how great this guy is, and when I watch him I just see and out-of-shape guy whose signature move is to deliver cheap shots to the back of his opponent's heads. He's got some power but no defense. They've had a picture of him celebrating after a tko of old Oleg (who's like 40 and slower than a turtle) up on Yahoo sports for a week now. It's just because the heavyweight division is so weak that he's even one of the champs - Lewis, Holyfield, Foreman, even Vitali... any one of those guys on a good day would've made hash out of Peter.

  1. did you mentioned foreman? are you kidding me? you compare big george to this non-sense ape, man this a heresy and a record-fallacy. even the sissy shannon briggs and pinklon thomas can beat the c**p outa that fat bub. what im pointing to is that, george is not a man worthy of being mentioned in this post, sorry.


  2. Mike Tyson for sure, he was entertaining  but never really beat anyone important

  3. I don't think that peter is overrated. great promotion and marketing are part of the sport regardless of actual skill. No one is saying that peter is a excellent boxer, just a hard hitter.  Any fan that thinks that peter is skilled fighter they don't know boxing

  4. Butterbean.

  5. Well all of the modern heavyweights are probably correctly rated now. In that they are absolute c**p, and people are paying them what they are worth-c**p.

    As to the list foreman is the only decent fighter in it. The 1990's guys were conquered by him directly or indirectly, by letting him get the title as a 44 year old fat man in 1994.

    In other words any fighter after 1990 , has to assume he would be lucky to hold a 1970's heavyweights towel in a training session for him, let alone face him in the ring.

  6. Overrated heavyweights:

    Alexander Povetkin

    Joe Mesi

    David Tua

    NIcolai Valuev
