Vitali and Maskaev took the easy way out....Vitali having Emeritus status and Maskaev might go that route as I await his statement soon as he will retire Emeritus also......embarrasing for boxing.....

And they took a lot of time and progress out the HW division.
If it wasn't for that bullshit comeback, negotiations for Mask-Clit we would've had Sam Peters defending the WBC title a few times now. Instead all we got is a lot of inactivity of the WBC belt. |

Herniated discs in his back caused while training is the hard way out.
Maskaev is finished. He'll never be considered an ATG but hey, becoming WBC HW Champ by bashing Hasim Rahman into the canvas ain't bad bragging rights, over a couple of stoli's in a bar.

Sucks for Peter though. He's not as good as people project him to be, but he is still improving as a fighter, and he really needs to get the ring time in order to keep improving. Either way, I suspect that a few years from now he won't necessarily be hot shit. He just seems to have some motivation issues to me, and usually those guys fade out by the time they pass their physical peak. |

Maskaev and Vitali Klitschko are not the first heavyweights to postpone fights. As far as I remember Tyson is a champion in that area. He postponed total of 7 fights. Maskaev\'s manager points out the fact that Holyfield and Tyson postponed fights but were treated differently. Ruiz postponed his rematch with Holyfield so that I do not understand that selective thinking.
Orishaman is as close to the truth as it is the Earth to the the Sun. |

could be a good argument, but in the Russian curcuit where they were raised, it was well documented that they filled their athletes with roids to give them size and muscularity to compete. Now their bodies are reaping the "benefit"

Remember all this talk about the herniated disc and such is coming from Rappaport, who I simply don't find trustworthy.
Duva said he'd seek to verify the injury. It's been a week so I don't know where that stands right now. Now tell me this isn't inconsistent. Rappaport tells Dan Rafael that Maskaev had 1 herniated disc and 1 buldging disc. Kesch, who is Maskaev's other manager, tells another site that Maskaev had "several herniated discs and a couple buldging discs" Now if inconsistencies are any sign of bullshit then we'll need hip waders to proceed further. |
