This really doesn't make any sense for Wladdy. Why would he give up his current title to fight Maskaev? He should just get Austin out of the way and go after Valuev.
Once he gets those issues resolved, he can make an attempt to unify. I understand that it would mean a bigger pay-day for Maskaev, but to be fair, Peter fought
Toney twice with alphabet soup mandating a second Toney fight. Peter has paid his dues and deserves a shot at Maskaev's title.
