Hey guys, what do you think of Maskaev? He used to be a big hype a while back when he knocked Rahman out of the ring. But then he lost to Johnson, Whitaker and Sanders, and has been fighting bums ever since. This Saturday he is fighting Quinn Navarre. What is your opinion about Maskaev? I think he might have a chance, especially with today's HW pack (except Klichko). Your thoughts?

He's shot. He can't take a good punch from a good fighter anymore.

I agree w/the frog

Is the fight going to be televised?

I still hold out hope for the big O. And also for Wlad. You watch, Wlad'l have a belt or two by the end of the year.

I dont now about that! I mean he lost to Brewster!!! Ouch, only person I can see him beating now is Byrd, but do you think Byrd would ever step into the ring w/him???

No, it's not televised. Wlad will have a belt as long as he gets his head on right.

No, the fight will not be one TV. But I plan on making it out there, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Oleg Maskaev was the third best heavyweight in 1999, following the devastating KO of Hasim Rahman. He also ko'ed highly regarded heavyweight prospect Derrick Jefferson and was poised for a title shot until Kirk Johnson made the statement of a lifetime by putting Maskaev through the ropes. I thought he had some life left in him until Lance Whitaker blew him away with that one right hand. He's a good right hand puncher, but his chin is garbage. He would be a good measuring stick for Samuel Peter's next fight.

i thought he sucked a few years ago when everyone else thought he was a threat, so i definately think he sucks now...

Maskaev was also KO'd by Sanders (the black Sanders).

He never lost to Brewster, he lost to Kirk Johnson, Whitaker, Mccall, Tua and the scrub version of Cory Sanders, not the Corrie Sanders from South Africa. I like to compare Maskaev to Glass Joe.

He was talking about Wlad Klit....

Total assehole!

read the quote above my statement dumb fuker. I was talkin about Wlad and his chances of getting a belt :rolleyes:

Maskaev has some very good skills but yeah his chin is pretty weak. He may be Gerry Cooney Jr.

European version of Jeremy Williams :D

Got it slick!! :rolleyes:

Oleg is slow and has a weak chin. Nuff said.

weak chin, but he ko'd vitali in the amateurs

It wasn't a KO is was a KD thats it.

it was a tko, they stopped the fight man, im sure in the pros they wouldnt have stopped it though. maskaev is pretty big too, maybe he presents a style problem for vitali, we will never know though because he will lose before he could get a shot at klit

Actually it wasn't even ruled as a KD.

then what is it cld when you get punched in the face and your ass hits the canvas?

Hes a good heavyweight but I don't think he is a threat to the champion.

Well the ref didn't count it as a KD, so talk to him. I haven't seen it, so I wouldn't know.
