It's so unfortunate that Samuel Peters's reign as the world's boxing king was shorter than expected. Just last night he attempted to climb up d ladder again by picking up a fight with d superfast eddie chambers, but samuel was panel beaten and defeated by chambers. Is this the end of d road for the akwa Ibom born boxer? What have we not done for samuel? The akwa Ibom state govt threw its weight behind him financially and otherwise, FG supported him, he was even managed by d world's best Don King who also managed Tyson, yet our man has refused to shine. Now the whole world know the truth. Samuel's victory was a big fluke, a flash in the pan. If i will advise samuel i will tell him not to depend on his punches alone but to also work on his legwork. Every boxer acknowledges he possesses deadly punches but his major problem is in his legwork. So what they do is to avoid his punches while feeding him with their own punches. Samuel should also work on his weight, it will make him smart and fast on the ring.

He's in it for the money,
Not the passion

because he lost 2 consecutive fights does not spell the end of the road 4 him . and that does not mean he is here just 4 the cash it is more difficult staying on to and continue to win in top class boxing the compitition is great. peters is still a great boxer to even become the champ in the first place.

Please, Samuel Peter's nickname in Europe is zombie. He is the slowest heavyweight I have ever seen in my life, even slower than superheavyweights like Butterbean. You can see his punches coming from a mile away. He is talentless.

Who cares anyway?
He has entered d history books period!
Let any other african go and win!
Una think say na beans

Obviously the win was a fluke, its not going to happen again.
But at least he has tasted the sweetness in being a World champ even if its just for a short period.

Boxing is dead,with the word officially to boot.
That is why a joke like Peters and world champion can be mentioned in the same breathe.

peters is someone nigerians should be proud of he fought to earn his title when he did what he achieved is success and has no other but success as far as am concerned his career is better than that of tyson who messed up his career with crimes peter will continue to be a hero as it is not easy to win a world title he went thru many fights to even challenge 4 it

While we cannot deny his place in history,I feel that what is worth doing, is worth doing well.
Samuel peter doesn't seem to be concerned about a legacy.Otherwise he will take his conditioning seriously.It was obvious that he lacked stamina at the latter parts of the round.His weight has not allowed him to make use of his heavy punches.If he had more foot speed,he would position himslf to land the killer blows he possesses.
People like the Alis,the lennoxes,they took are of themselves.That's why they had several title defenses before they lost.Him losing again so soon ater the title loss will only reduce his credibility and his status as a top-ranked fighter.

Having said that,I agree that the heavyweight division is more like a farce right now.I can't say how the division became such a joke.But even the 90's is like heaven compared to what is obtainable right now.
Peters,well all i can say to him is good luck.Right now his career looks to be heading downwards
