'Nigerian Nightmare' touted as heavyweight saviour
Peter sends Diaz to the Canvas Promoter of Samuel Peter ‘the Nigerian nightmare’ Duva boxing has said that "Samuel's puncher-brawler style has given a buzz to a fighter that the heavyweight division hasn't seen since a young Mike Tyson burst onto the scene," said Duva.

"Peter is on a mission, on a quest. He is getting better and better with every fight, and is the complete package.

He will fight anybody, anywhere on his mission to prove that he is the best heavyweight in the world.
"We will keep him very active, get him back into the ring as soon as possible, and fight him regularly," continued Duva.

"He got his second explosive win on cable television, and his potential has come to fruition.

Peter scored his second straight knockout victory by knocking out crafty Cuban Yanqui Diaz last week.
The Akwa Ibom born pugilist lifted his record to 22-0, 19 KO's.

Is the “Nigerian Nightmare” Tomorrow’s Dream?

Amid the middle-aged and mediocre, the dubious and the downright diabolical in the heavyweight division, we are looking for a sensation. Suffering through this depressing talent dearth has caused many boxing fans to proclaim any fighter possessing even a smattering of talent as the next truly great heavyweight, the one that will clean house and restore this desperate division to something of its former glory. These mournful times have seen a Ukrainian giant take up the coveted throne, regaled as a champion when he resembles little more than an opportunist offering only sheer size as compensation for a lack of skill. Further still, we are relegated to celebrate the rededication of Hasim Rahman, an ex-champion of equally opportunistic proportions. However, these aging fighters, fed from the scraps of one truly great legacy will soon see their time reach an end. Whom will we look to when their time has passed? Many people believe that Samuel Peter is the answer. Is this faith warranted, or is this simply another over-zealous proclamation?
Watching Samual Peter you will see a lot of explosiveness, courage, and power. I'd really like to see more of him, but I doubt anybody big will have the courage or stupidity to fight him for a couple years. I believe that currently he may be unbeatable. At only 24yrs old he might be the future. I think his biggest problem is that he's too quiet, kind of like Lewis, he might not draw the crowds or the competition to him. The link above shows that he has the ability to KO with either hand. Have you guys been watching him? What do you think? Is it possible that he's not great at all...just better than the competition (possibly)?
