Maskaev Getting Screwed!!

[Bozo_no no]

Etienne is on his way to prision so he is out of he question.

The point was, you don't get a free pass based on a fight SIX years ago.

Maskiev has done nothing since then but get knocked out, and beat bums.

Maskaev has been doing enough to stay in the heavyweight picture, same as Rahman. Your missing the point.

No, you are, so I'll go over it again.

The Heavyweight division is the most important and prestegious division in boxing, and right now, it's in the ****ter. It's quite possibly at the worst point it's ever been.

What it needs now more than anything is for the title holders and top fighters to face eachother until there's a unified champion.

What's killing this division and the sport is the bogus sanctioning bodies that rate dead fighters and make outright su****ious moves within their rankings.

Oleg Maskiev is NOT a top ten Heavyweight, and has NO BUSINESS being in the title picture at present.

A fight between him and Rahman is a step back from the direction things need to go.

If the sanctioning body goes against their own rules then it makes for a bad fight. The media will remind you of that for the entire fight.

who are top 10 HWs in your opinion?

Wake up bro, it happens all the time.

The 4 seperate sanctioning bodies should not dictate what happens next.

The top fighters should be fighting eachother, and to suggest the snactioning bodies should have final say above common sense and the demand of the public is ignorant.

Maskiev is NOT a top ten Heavyweight, and allowing him into the title picture is a step backwards, not forwards.

[Bozo_no no]

The only Heavyweights that matter at the moment are the 4 who are holding titles, Toney, and Wlad Klitschko.

There's enough crap in there. The last thing we need is the WBC saying Maskiev deserves to be in there, and the IBF with Ray Austin ranked at #2.

What the sanctioning bodies say is not relevent. It's what's been holding everything back.

who are top 10 HWs in your opinion?

I'll tell you mine.
1: Chris Byrd
2: Lamon Brewster
3: John Ruiz
4: Hasim Rahman
5: Wladamir Klitschko
6: Oleg Maskev
7: James Toney
8: Sam Peter
9: Juan Carlos Gomez
10: Nicolay Valuev

I have to agree, Ray Austin at #2 is just crazy.

[velvet fog]

I dont get it, Rahman played by the WBC rules, beat a few nobodies and the no. 2 contender Barrett, and gets the belt.

Maskaev goes the same route, beats as worthy of an oppenent as Sam was, but gets the shaft.

The whole thing is bogus. If its ok for Rahman to get the belt for going through the mandatories, then Maskaev should get a shot fot doing the same thing.

Yes, Toney is better than Maskaev, but the WBC should at least be consistant with this stuff.

Picture this. Ohio State and Oregon are better than WVU. West ******ia did what they were told and got a BCS bid. Either Oregon or OSU isnt going to the BCS. But suddenly, the BCS votes both teams in and WVU out because they are superior teams. Thats not quite fair to WVU, who won the BIg East and got the bid, now is it. Its the same situation with the WBC.

It cant work like that. As ****ed as the system is, you must stick to it.
