Let's make a more detailed study of Maskaev's chin

Look at the amount of good fighters Oleg has fought, as opposed to Peter having fought, aside from the McCline fight, only Wlad, and the feather fisted Toney.

WHereas, Oleg has fought several pretty good fighters, so of course, you'd expect him to be vulnerable to more losses. Its simple math.

Let Peter get in there with Rahman or Tua and see how well he fares.

Maskaev will TKO Peter, late. :good

 

He was actually leading on points at the time of stoppage.

 

He was leading by one point on two judges cards and behind by three points in the other (106-103)... If Maskaev had not blasted Rahman out of there and had Hasim won the 12th on one of the judges cards, the result would have been a draw and the Rahman would have retained his title... They went into that final round with the fight undecided, the fight was that close up until then.

 

I do agree that Peter never fought anybody besides Wlad and Toney - Julius Long, Jeremy Williams, Yanki Diaz and Taurus Sykes obviously do not count - but please don't try to BS me with the "amount" of good fighters Oleg has faced. Every single good fighter he has come across, he lost to - McCall, Tua, Whitaker, Johnson - and lost to Sanders too... You can't say that Sedreck Fields and Marion Wilson count or can you? I don't think so... And Toney is not feather fisted, that is a major mistake - everybody knows "Lights Out" always had a precise, heavy counter right hand, even at Cruiserweight ( vs Jirov) and at HWT ( vs Holyfield).
