Maskaev is in his 40th year, has fought once in the past year and a half, which was a KO loss.
He was inactive because of serious back injuries and looked very old and shot against Peter.
Maskaev may have been a top ten heavyweight a year or two ago, but he's definitely not one now. Sometimes the Ring ratings are a bit slow to change, and don't necessarily reflect a fighters current ability.
Instead of fighting Maskeav, Haye should fight someone who's not shot and preferably coming off a win. Haye vs. Dimitrenko, Valuev, Chagaev, Ibragimov, or Povetkin would be interesting. Why not a good young American like Travis Walker?
But he'll choose someone like Maskaev, Toney or Rahman who are shot, no doubt.
