Peter was delusional about his ability. His manager and handlers puffed up his record with guys that were even worse than him. A few months before the Tyson fight they were talking about a match with Hasim Rahman. However his manager said no way. They were going to wait for Tyson to get out so they could make more money, Rahman would have beaten the brakes off of McNeely as well, but they wouldnt have made any money.
