Unfortunately what happens is that WHOEVER the "winner" is on paper, will be considered a "rejuvinated" contender who is "next in line" for a "major world title shot"...

blah

Barrett vs maskaev sounds not too bad! i dont think peter will return

[TyrantT316]

Peter-Maskaev already happened and Peter won. I know boxing history is littered with great fighters rebuilding confidence vs opponents they already beat easily...

but Barrett/Maskaev I think would at least be a better fight and it hasn't happened...let them scrap and make their money

Don't see how two old heavyweights fighting means the division is dead. It's not like any of these guys are going anywhere.

But if they want to fight, they can fight. That would be the same in any era.

And the Russians love putting older American boxers with a name on their cards, like Roy Jones Jr., who isn't a heavyweight but nevertheless is washed up.

thought Maskaev was retired already? guess not
he was never more than just a journeyman level guy anyway
can't believe Peter is coming back after 2 successive KO's
both are gonna end up with brain damage

maskaev was a fringe contender. he fought many contenders over the years. he was an old warhorse with one punch knockout power in both hands. he had a sneaky left hook but his chin was always his achilles heel. if he had a better chin then he would have been a force. he was B level & won a world title. he had rahman's number. rahman always had trouble seeing a good left hook. wlad, lennox, tua & maskaev were all able to hit rahman with relative ease with it. he beat all the journeymen & had a few solid wins but for the most part he was a fringe contender. i would rate him higher then journeyman myself but that's just my opinion.

Maskaev vs Sam Peter would be really a "last man standing" contest....
let's do it..i can see each guy hitting the canvas more than once, they are both hard hitting and got no defence to begin with, can be funny to watch on a free stream from German TV
