I hope those sources are reliable because not only is this great news for Peter but also for the integrity of boxing altogether.
I for one am ecstatic.

CC, for that most welcome news!!!! :D
This is the correct decision, and Im glad it has come to fruition.....Peter deserves his shot. Vitali can wait and should face the winner ;)
CC backatcha for siding with the good guys. ;)Quote:

If Vitali could get a fight with Briggs or Valuev that would be perfect. THen we'd have a real unification bout if he fought Peter.
this is awesome. I cant beleive something that should happen actually is in boxing. Well after Peter destroys Oleg he can take care of the Kilts ,,LOL did I open a can of worms??? O0
I thought he took the money..... ???
I just cannot envision Vitali sticking around and I imagine this will have annoyed him tremendously. I am curious as to whether he will be back at all now....lets wait and see...Quote:

Good news! Let's go Sam Peter, clear out the HW division, or at least try to.
Wow. If this is true, the powers that be in boxing actually did the right thing :o . There's a First time for everything I guess. I'm happy for Peter, he earned the title shot and Vitali did not. I don't care about any of the emeritus bs, he hasn't fought since 2004 and in no way does he deserve an immediate title shot coming off of a nearly three year layoff. I have no problem with Vitali, he's a great fighter, and I'd bet on him to beat Peter or Maskaev, hell, he'd probably be able to beat both of them at the same time in a WWE-style handicap match; but the bottom line is the Sam Peter has earned his shot.
Peter by vicious, bowel-loosening KO.

Good News
Thanks for the link. I wasn't going to get my hopes up on the first one. But now ESPN and from the mouth of Rappaport (God I hate him) and Duva, sweet. Peter deserved it 8)

Best news I've had all day!
