    Does anyone know why the WBC is ordering Vitali Klitschko to fight against "number one contender" Oleg Maskaev when Vitali just made a mandatory defense against Juan Carlos Gomez?

    It is a pointless fight. Peter knocked Oleg silly. Than Vitali outclassed and made Peter quit on his stool.

    Probably because Oleg's people payed more than a sanctioning fee to the WBC.

    That's how Suleiman roles.

    This fight is the result of Dennis Rappaport (Maskaev's promoter) dropping a lawsuit he had against the WBC for the strange change of the purse split for the Peter-Maskaev fight.

    Remember, Peter was made "interim" Champion after the first postponement of the fight that changed his cut of the purse from 30% to 45%.

    Rappaport goes way back with Jose Sulaiman to the early 1980's when he got Gerry Cooney ranked #1 in the WBC by beating a bunch of nobodies.

    I think a decision on the case is supposed to be announced tomorrow accoring to the website that has news about fights.

    :good

    I dont understand this **** at all seems like the WBC are intent on keeping Vitali as the belt holder, they are not exactly making things better for the sport.

    Maybe Wladimir - but that fight will never happen.

    I don't think David Haye will beat Vitali - but I do think the two would make for a great fight.

    Maskaev is undeserving and doesn't have enough since losing to Sam Peter to earn a title shot. It doesn't work like that in the HW division - one loss and you're at the back of the line.
