What has Oleg Maskaev actually done to get to number 1 position?

That is the biggest load of garbage i have ever read. no offence man, but you're saying he has a shot at Rahman, but he's no chance agaist lesser fighters like Sam Peter?

That's what I'm saying.

If the Rahman that fought Toney shows up against Maskaev, then he could very well lose. But I don't see Maskaev beating any of the other top HW's, especially those who can punch. Maskaev has a weak chin. But from how Rahman has looked in his last 2 fights, you don't need a good chin to beat him.

Well he outboxed a 1997 David Tua for 11 rounds, who was a hell of a lot beter than Sam Peter IMO.
