And lost to Vitali too. The rankings don't really make sense - Boytsov should be ahead of Peter.

I wouldn't mind seeing Toney-Povetkin.

Today, Sam Peter was pulled out of his scheduled fight for November.

I'm expecting an announcement about Povetkin-Peter very soon, this week or early next week.

Chambers doesn't need to fight Povetkin right now, it's too risky for Chambers. He will eventually fight Povetkin if (and that's a big if) he beats Wladimir Klitschko.

will be very interesting and entartaining

Peter has no business getting a title shot right now.

Any news on this? Is Povetkin going fight for the interim title or stay on the shelf until Wlad gives him a shot? Povetkin has alot of talent and is an entertaining fighter but is wasting it due to his long periods of inactivity...

I agree. He hasn't defeated a top 250 heavyweight since Maskaev.

The latest word is that Peter vs Povetkin will likely take place in Germany in January, 2010.
