He's a big puncher, physically strong and that's about it so far, it depends on whether they can teach him any technique. He's also small for a modern heavyweight.
i would say the same
Stop agreeing with me, it's bad for my reputation.
OK; Sam would knock him out, 1st minute, 1st round
Seriously though, I've only seen the lad -- Peter -- against Shufford; and I don't care how hard he hits, if he's not improved technically from that then I'd take Brock or if (a big if, admittedly) his chin holds out, Barrett to outbox him. Did he keep up a high workrate against Diaz/Azcuy?
I don't think he's half as good as Mercer was, meself. I keep thinking back to the Mercer who gave a fired up Holyfield hell, and then went life and death with Lewis.
I think Klitkenstein has the style to deal with short plodders; particularly raw-as-fornicate plodders like Peter. Someone tall who can punch is needed. Who, though, is currently beyond me. Perhaps someone can stick Manny Pacquiao on the old growth hormones.
Peter is ALOT better than you guys think... Just you wait! He has a strong jab, decent defense, great chin, and one heck of a whallop! After a few more tough competitors, he might get a title shot. He's the guy out there that is taking on some good heavyweights, and doing what he should be doing, for a contender... knocking them out!
I say he will probably get a title shot in the next 3 to 4 years.
Peter has promise but is by no means the new Joe Louis..however he is exciting but really this sums up the weakness of the Heavyweight division when some people (no one on here) are touting him to come and rule the division. He can win a belt that's for certain but in today's climate who fornicating can't?!

Who couldn't ever win a belt? Ummmm..... Frankie Hines or Marcus Rhode, perhaps??

If he was British of course British fight fans would be hyping him up more than they are, that's only natuaral.
Also if Peter was a UK Heavyweight I have no doubt that a lot of USA fans would be calling him another UK bum, who has only beaten shopworn fighters.
