It will be the highlight of his life, kinda like a fairy tale story after all the set backs in his career he has a chance to make up for all of it by simply winning this championship in August.
If he would win this would also make a new era in boxing where all the title holders are from Eastern Europe. This might be exactly what heavyweight boxing needs right now. This could draw much attention if properly advertised.
Rahman is an average fighter, so is Maskaev. I'd say it's a 50/50 fight. After Rahman struggling to land anything on a "walking heartattack waiting to happen", the hype is gone and we're back to reality.
If Maskaev beats Rahman, I'll laugh almost as hard as I did when Audley Harrison lost both of his last two fights, which triggered borderline tears of laughter, I'm talking rolling on the floor, pounding my fists on the pavement laughter.
I like Oleg he's a decent boxer with a big right hand but this is Rock's chance for revenge and I can't see him not winning.Maskaev doesn't have the best chin and Rahman's isn't all that great either but it's better than Oleg's.On the subject of the alleged overtaking of the divison by europeans don't forget that we still have Sam Peter.If he ever refines his boxing skill with his power and chin he will be a hw champ.Wonder who he will beat.
Yeah but Sam Peter is African so it will still be all 4 belts being held by non American fighters. I think even if Peter is one of the champs, it is a good thing for boxing because all of the champs will be exciting besides Valuev.

If you think about it, then you realize it doesn't matter who wins. And then it doesn't matter what happens when the winner fights Toney.
Why?
Because all 3 will lose to Wlad.
So really, who cares, just get those fights over with so the belts can be unified.
This is the truth.
