After Maskaev disposed of Navarre in three rounds (big deal) Maskaevs manager said that the fight between Vitali and Rahman is nothing but a joke because Maskaev has beaten both of them. He said he will go to all extremes to get Vitali in the ring with Maskaev even go as far as putting up a billboard in Russia to embarrass Viatli into fighting Maskaev.

My comment to Maskaevs manager is this, if your boy had at least half a chin on him then he would deserve a shot at Vitali, but from the moment your boy got knocked the fucck out by Cory and not Corrie Sanders, Kirk Johnson, Oliver Mccall in one round and the human slow moving lochness monster known as Lance Whitaker in two rounds then you have absolutely no right to talk *****.

He's beaten Vitali? What?

Maskaev was a tune-up bout for Danny Williams after Tyson, but it got put on hold when Vitali came along.

yeah but that was in the amatures, wery long ago the fighters cant be compared to that

Oley holds a KO victory over Rahman. He is also a right hand puncher nothing else. But really, is he any worse than Ruiz or Brewster?

Damn, everyone wants a piece of Vitali :D

Oleg Maskaev is joke...if he tries to put billboards and embarrass Vitali...Vitali will embarrass oleg in tha ring

Actually he never ko'ed Vitaly. I asked my old trainer once what really happened,he was a boxing trainer in a soviet military. and he told me that at the time Klit was ordered to fight Maskaev by athletic comission his right fist was badly injured, so his trainer proposed a plan where Vitaly will use his jab alone to score points, but if he will use the right hand the trainer would throw in the towel. Unfortunately Vitaly went ballistic in a first round using his right hand at will and his corner stopped the fight. Thats where the TKO comes from.

That sounds alot different than Oleg's description of what happened.

Is he any good?

He has a very heavy right and he is built like a tank, but he has a very weak chin. If he gets caught with a halfway decent shot he is guaranteed to go down.
