    I still think Peter takes it. Peter's chin may not be as rock solid as people thought, but it's STILL far better than that of glass-jawed Oleg. And let's not forget, Peter's been active and he's MUCH younger.

    That said, I'm not as confident as I was before Saturday - probably only about 75 percent, down from 99 percent.

    I think Peter has let down alot of people including myself a little bit, I think the fact that Peter was training to fight Maskaev and in only a week and half was told he was fighting Mccline a much bigger fighter whos physically stronger screwed him up a bit. As you remember Rahman had trouble fighting Maskaev himself after waiting to fight Vitali for close to a year and a half, Vitali who is close to 6'8 almost and is 6 inches taller than Maskaev. I believe Peter can beat Maskaev who doesnt have the best chin pretty easy, I watched the Rahman/Makaev fight a couple times and noticed that Rahaman was able to get in the overhand right in on Maskaev, a punch Peter is pretty good with. I see this fight being Peters fight to make a statement, he will knock Maskaev out in 6.
