Could Oleg last in a bout with one of the hardest hitters in the heavyweight division?
He just beat one didnt he???
I would like to see Lamon VS Hasim . . . ;)
Rahman is not one of the hardest punchers in the HW divisionQuote:

Lamon would knock him out. Watch the Kirk Johnson fight. And Oleg doesn't go to the body enough to beat Brewster
Probably, seen it. But like I said the dudes got power but he's gotta use it. No use having power if you don't throw anything!Quote:

To not call him a hard puncher is the wrong thing to say.....He is not as disciplined as he needs to be.....
The thing I see with Maskaev is discipline...He stays with the plan, no matter what...
Most of the time when you see fighters that cant get a guy out, they get frantic and trying to play catch up or get the Knock-out....The thing they forget to do is stay disciplined and stick to a strict gameplan...Maskaev does that and thats why he has the Belt right now...He stayed determined and focused and earned himself a championship title....I think the guy has proved himself at this point...
As for Brewster beating Maskaev, I dont think so, I think Brewster will go into the fight over confident(Like Rahman did) and get his clock rung(Like Rahman did).
The thing that scares most of the boxing world is that they see these big Russians comming in and taking over a division that the Boxing community thought would be dominated by American or Euro fighters....
Its the nightmare they all feared and what you see right now in the division is a bunch of well disciplined, untainted and hungry fighters wanting to get their recognition......And they are getting it...
American fighters need to pull their heads out of their asses and start thinking about whats more important in the sport....All the riches and bitches or the flat out recognition of being a champion.....
Congrats to the Russian fighters for coming in and doing what they needed to do to become a dominate force to be dealt with....
Good luck,
Coach

HAHAHAHA!!
Good luck,

but does Brewster have the legs to go 12 with Oleg if that was the case. I don't think Brewster is conditioned enough just like I knew Rahman wasn't. So i think Oleg has as good a shot as Brewster in this one.Quote:

So its a question of punching power and chin. I'd give the chin to Oleg, but power to Lamon. I'd take Lamon inside of 4 rounds but after that I'd give the fight to Oleg.
Brewster would KO him IMO, Maskaev's slicker but not that slick and Brewster's better chin would pull him through. Maskaev would have to try and box and move a bit and try to hurt Brewster and take him out, which would be tougher to do versus Brewster than Rahman cause Lamon's chin is better than Rock's, cause I don't see Maskaev's chin holding up for 12 rounds against Brewster's pressure.
I don't think Oleg would take the pressure Brewster gives. Rahman gives pressure but he's inconsistant with it, Lamon only fights one way and I think he would catch Oleg and knock him out within 8 rounds
I think Maskaev is the Carlos Baldomir of the division, slow, no skill but keeps on coming.
A decent heavyweight with skills will box rings around him, but he definitely could grind down some of the top fighters whose stamina may be an issue.
To say that Baldomir has no skill is just wrong...Quote:

Honestly, Brewster doesnt have a chance, Maskaev will be holding this title for a little longer than Rahman did...
I think Maskaev will do the right thing and hold out for the right money fight....If he loses, he still gets paid...
