Yea go ahead and fight Wladimir, if he really has a death wish!I think he would be crazy to fight Maskaev, I don't know where these guys are coming from that they think they can just step into the ring with a legitimate heavyweight and actually have a chance at winning.That is crazy talk if you ask me.
Surely you don't consider Maskaev a legit heavyweight?

Fighting Wladimir would definently be suicide, IWO, but not Maskaev.

Maskaev's two biggest wins are over one of the biggest under acheivers over 200lbs. Maskaev is pretty beatable in the grand scheme of things as far as Hopkins is concerned.

Also...if you don't know where these guys are coming from that they think they can just step into the ring with a legitimate heavyweight...most of them are coming from America...most of them that try...suceed...now...whether or not they are actually legit heavies is another matter entirely...but they are heavies that have defeated legit heavies...so that's gotta mean something.

It would be an accomplishment for Hopkins...no doubt...then thing is...Hopkins has the chin, the speed, & the craft to make Maskaev look silly...I doubt that Maskaev will agree to the fight.
I don't know about that. B-Hop and The Golden Boy's company have millions of ways of persuading Maskaev. As far as the promotion of the fight, just the mere mention of B-Hop moving up to bring a piece of the heavyweight title back to America will sell the fight.
