Comments Thread For: Oleg Maskaev: No Retirement, I Plan To Return To The Ring

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Russian former WBC world heavyweight champion Oleg Maskaev is planning to return to the ring this year at the age of 48. Maskaev last fought in 2013 and was riding a three-fight win streak when he hung up his gloves after outpointing British Mike Tyson-conqueror Danny Williams over 10 rounds in Krasnodar, southern Russia.

This has truly been a golden age for washed up heavyweights. I wouldn't retire either. All the guys who have been shot for years still end up getting shots at titles.

Guess we have Wilder's next "legitimate" opponent.

Oleg was a good fighter but his chin was a weakness much like David Price. He could dish it out & had some good skills. If he got caught flush he was done. He had a sneaky power left hook. He was a warrior & came back from what should have been career ending losses. He is a perfect example of why David Price should not give up. At 48 maskaev will get crushed. He got floored by Jason Gavern & needed 10 rounds to beat him & 10 rounds to beat Danny Williams. Both guys punch resistence was gone by that point in their careers. A sign that he could get hurt if he fights anyone with a pulse. Let him fight Tarver, Grant or any of them mid 40 HWs...

I always wished Vitali would have gotten the pro rematch to prove who the man was. In fact, I still would love to see that fight. Vitali would still mop the floor with Oleg.
