Samuel Peters in Affrica?

Question

apparently Peters thinks a fight with him in Affrica would be the biggest Affrican fight in history. Does this not seem completely retarded to anybody else out there?

Answer 1

Yeah i agree hes getting a little ahead of himself hes no ali.

Answer 2

lol..I think Ali Vs. Foreman had a little more impact on history.

Answer 3

Peters mathematics is: Since I'm Africa's first world heavyweight champion* then it means if I fight in Africa it must be the biggest fight in African history.

This argument is bogus is due to three reasons.

(1) The previous biggest fight in African history is Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman. You can't get much better than that in any continent.

(2) I'm sorry Sam but although you are African you are not automatically respected by the rest of Africa like you are in Nigeria. Muhammad  Ali won the hearts and minds of Africans whether they were from Zambia or Ghana, South Africa or Togo. As a South African, Peters mean as much to me as Ruslan Chagaev.

(3) Who is your opponent? There is no one out there that together with Peters can equal the magnitude of Ali & Foreman. You could put both Klitschkos, Chagaev, Valuev, David Haye, etc in the ring and they couldn't compare to Foreman and Ali.

No doubt Peters would want to look good fighting in Nigeria and so he'd fight some poor bum in the top 15 like Sinan Samil San. Can a Peters-San fight be greater than a Foreman-Ali? Peters must be retarded.

*(Herbie Hide's bogus WBO title doesn't mean a thing to me.)
