Jesus Christ, this guy has to be the worst person to interview. I like him. I want him to win, I just don’t wanna hang with him though.
It wouldn’t let me paste the interview, but here is the link
The interviewer didn’t ask many questions did he…
How’s about these for starters
What do you think the outcome of the Rahman-Maskaev II fight will be?
How about the Brock-Timor Ibragimov fight?
What do you think of Nicolay Valuev?
What do you think of Sergei Lyakhovich?
If you could fight any of the title holders who would you like to fight most and why?
that interview sucked
RIVITING…JUST RIVITING. I WAS ON THE EDGE OF MY SEAT ;D
I don’t think Brad Cooney should be sat by the 'phone waiting for the Pulitzer prize people to call.
Is that our Brad4boxer, i wonder??
Solid interview… loved the question diversity and the spectrum of things he touched on… a piece of art, it was…
What a joke
If you think its all the interviewer then check out this Peter interview from 2004.

I agree.. when you are being interviewed and not many questions are asked let alone good ones, its not Sam’s fault the thing blew
That’s not the way this guy was talking a year ago… back then he was always talking about how he would demolish his competition. I wonder if he is as motivated as he once was.
The first thing Samuel Peter needs is some new management.
His current team elevated his self-esteem way way way high and them pre-maturely put him in a title fight only to send his confidence way way way down.
On top of that, they will fix him up with all sorts of D-level opponents, then they go straight to title shots.
He really needs to work his way up the ladder and fight more top 10 opponents…fuck even someone on the top 20 would be good because on your way up is where you get your knowledge and experience.
No one goes from kindergarten to college without passing through elementary, junior high and high school!!!
I am suprised he hasnt sought out a trainer like Freddy Roach or Manny Steward..The guy has a solid chin and helacious power he just needs someone to refine him,I would think one of the top trainers would be drooling over a prospect like that..Unless those guys dont see anything worthwile in him..I know I was reading an espn article about Teddy Atlas declined to work with him I think it was cause of his personality or mental make up or something like that(I will see if I can dig up the article )
Atlas refused to work with him because he wouldn’t train away from home…KEVIN ROONEY anyone???
Steward’s style wouldn’t suit Peter…Roach could help him out though, maybe Ronnie Shields could help him.
The main problem is that he doesn’t jab and he throws WAY too wide
first …that interview blowed and I want that minute of my life back…second..Manny might refine and work on more rudimentary things with Peter…Manny says he just wants to add to not change a fighters style …he might get Peter down to 240…as far as Atlas why wouldn’t you travel to train with Atlas?? that baffles me…another is why Kevin Rooney’s phone/pager/cell is not ringing constantly baffles me…I think Rooney’s and Atlas’s training styles would be better for Peter than Roach’s…Manny would make him move alot more than he’s used to as well…He’s got the one thing you can’t teach…POWER…
I think his power is VASTLY overrated (mainly due to the Williams KO)…he hits people on the back of the head, he doesn’t punch quick or accurately which takes away from his power.
I also think he’s so one dimensional that Danny Williams would beat him up badly
wow…that is a bold statement…I’m not saying that couldn’t happen…but if he actually threw straight power shots and learned to actually fight…and any of those trainers mentioned above could do that…he could be dangerous…
I don’t know bro…people have been talking like that for the past year or so and guess what??
The man has has 3 or 4 fights and he hasn’t learned jack-shit. A year ago everyone out there was thinking that Peter was just a young talent on the horizon who had the tools to be the next Tyson if he could only gain more experience.
Personally, I was never that fond of the guy only because of the way the public pre-maturely put him on a pedastal.
The guy does have a lot of power, but you can also see most of his punches coming a mile away. The only reason why Williams didn’t is because they were turning when he got hit.
yeah..I say give it 2-3 more fights and if he refuses to change his fighting style then it will be time to move him down to the also rans and never was…
I called him David Izon II, he seems to have a better chin than Izon but I think his power is not as effective as say Wladimir Klitschko. Wlad throws straight, short, fast punches that flow off his jab.
With Sam Peter the way to go would be work off his head movement (which he has 0 of) jab to get on the inside, and throw short hooks and uppercuts. But with his punching form he has obviously not learned anything, he is probably doing the whole George Foreman routine on the heavybag and his trainers are saying “yeah good, love the power” when really he should not use so much power so often, you don’t have to throw a punch at 100% to knock someone out
I wanted to see him fight Briggs to see if he truly learned anything but that Long fight was a sham!
Problem is that his management team is putting him against absolute D-level competition in order to boost his confidence. Too bad he won’t learn anything fighting there.
