he got himself a good promoter,manager,lawyerOriginally posted by paul750What has he done to get to this position? he's had five bad loses in his career, and three of those came in a two year period. he's been on a winning streak, but most of those wins came against journeymen. and why was his fight with Samil Sam an eliminator? what has Sam done to earn that? i sometimes raise a few eyebrows when i speak very highly of Juan Carlos Gomez, but Gomez has beat Samil Sam, and knocked out David Defiagbon who Maskaev only beat by a decision. i mean the guy hasn't done anything really, to earn it, but thats heavyweight boxing i guess.

You remember wrong. Add 100,000 buys to that.Originally posted by FlyyyThat sounds a lot like Vitali-Williams. That bombed too, dont forget it. And if I remember correctly, it sold about 35,000 PPV buys too.
Look, the usual suspects that **** on any foreign and/or white fighter are all in a tiff because Maskaev won an eliminator and has a title shot. But none of them said a word when Rahman was thrust into the top slot by beating a bunch of journeymen and Kali Meehan. Meehan was stopped in 1 by Williams. Williams was stopped in 6 by Samil Sam. Maskaev just handily beat Samil Sam in the eliminator. He also holds a vicious KO over Rahman. Maskaev has been around forever, never quit, and has worked his way back into the rankings and won an eliminator. I say, stop bitching and let him have his shot. He's not going to go anywhere, although he may be able to beat Rahman. Maskaev will NEVER be able to beat Wlad, Peter, Brock, etc. Hell, even Briggs would stop Maskaev.
Look at it like this. Rahman has unfinished business with Maskaev, and has the WBC title, which was basically given to him. So let him do his thing. If he can't, then Maskaev isn't going to hide and squat on his title like Byrd, he's a fighter. He'll go right out and lose it to another titlist and we'll be that much closer to unifying the titles.
I don't really see the problem. Most of the other top contenders either have titles, or title shots, or are working their way back up from losses. Maskaev has been on a win streak, has a devastating win over Rahman, so let em go at it and relax. Where is the problem, really?

Lance Never Has Been Whitaker did that.
Looks like this mofo was sitting on the toilet in the second KD

Even though I dont think Maskaev is worthy, WHO IS???? Ive been tryin to think and I cant think of anyone who has ACTUALLY done anything to get to fight the champ. Is there someone more worthy??? Im afraid that the competition out there is just that BAD, sad to say. Kirk Johnson lost his last fight, MCCLine won his last two... BIGTIME maybe?? Calvin Brock?? Danny Williams? I would say maybe Monte Barret but he lost to Rahman.Last edited by Derranged; 03-22-2006, 10:27 PM.Comment

Brock will emerge as the top new HW contender if he beats T.Ibragimov. I haven't seen Timor fight, but if he's anything like his brother, then it'll be a respectable victory. Brock should be looking at a title shot later this year if he can beat Timor.Originally posted by DerrangedEven though I dont think Maskaev is worthy, WHO IS????

On the other hand, if Timor happens to win, then you might have another brother duo in the HW division to send Bozo and Bloodshed into total hysteria.Comment

That's why I was calling people out earlier. Like I stated....you'd be extremely hard pressed to find a guy more suitable for the mandatory title.
I think alot of people saw "Maskaev" and automatically wrote him off based on his unimpressive knockout losses + age.

Johnson and Whitake aren't in the HW picture. Maskaev and Rahman are.
