Zhilei Zhang against Sam Peter of 2005-2008 as part of "the current vs former era of heavyweights" fantasy match. Who wins?

Zhang looked pretty damn good against Joyce. I now have confidence in him. He could become a world champ.

IMO, Peter never performed on the level that Zhang displayed this weekend.

I'm certain Zhang beats Peter. Questions are: 1) will Zhang win by decision or stoppage? 2) How much trouble will Peter cause Zhang?

It's important not to underestimate Peter because he had brutal KO power in both mitts. So predicting this one is a bit tricky.

I say Zhang wins by late round stoppage or wide UD. Peter wobbles Zhang once or twice in the early rounds, but Zhang plays it smart, and backs away when hurt. Zhang dominates the action from long range with his right-jab, and, as much as possible, steps forward to bash Peter with heavy left-cross leads and sweeping right-hooks. By the second half of the bout, Peter is less and less competitive due to fatigue and punishment. Zhang wins the final rounds big.

Zhang is definitely better schooled than Peter. He can keep the distance and counter. Peter was quite reckless and opened. Both could hit hard. With the more technical and skilful puncher it's easy to pick exactly him. Zhang kayos Peter.
