If Oleg would have had Peter in the ring instead of McCline, lights out of Peter. What happened to Peter's chin in that fight? What happened to his punching power? Can you imagine if McCline had been able to have trained for that fight?
I was at the Peter-McCline/Golota-McBride fight, and when I was standing a few feet away from Peter, he looked extremely thick and heavily muscled with lacking definition. He's got big arms. But Golota...that guy is a ****ing bull. He looks so strong.
Peter wanted the largest ring allowed, which the WBC, Don King and Jose "The Bandit" Sulaiman gave him, also he judges and ref. All he has to do is be on his feet, even if he were to get knocked down in every round, he would still get the decision.
Oleg is a huge puncher and can knock Peter out just as well with a hook or a right hand...well see what happens. Peter is obviously the favorite, but he shouldn't underestimate Maskaev's experience and punching power
How many people has Don King murdered? He was in prison for murder. Remember when the WBC took away a title and gave it to Roid Jones? OK. What do you think the WBC and Don King will do to get Peter the win?
