January 28th, 2008 Tags: Wladimir Klitschko, Samuel Peter, Oleg Maskaev, Alexander Povetkin
By John Dower: After watching the new International Boxing Federation mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin (15-0, 11 KOs) struggle against American Eddie Chambers (30-1, 16 KOs) last Saturday night in Berlin, Germany, I’m starting to re-think the wisdom of IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (49-3, 44 KOs) of facing Povetkin when/if Wladimir defeats WBO heavyweight title […]

Now that a little time has gone by since Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs) has been out of boxing, I thought it would be an interesting idea to speculate how “The Lion” would have done against today’s top heavyweight champions - Wladimir Klitschko, Sultan Ibragimov, Ruslan Chagaev and Samuel Peter.

October 25th, 2007 Tags: Boxing, Samuel Peter
After watching WBC interim heavyweight champion Samuel Peter’s (29-1, 22 KOs) last three bouts against Jameel McCline, and James Toney, I’ve concluded that he doesn’t have the monstrous power that I originally that he did after I witnessed his destruction of Jeremy Williams in December 2004, and Peter’s three knockdowns of Wladimir Klitschko in September […]
