I'm not arguing that Vitali doesn't deserve a shot he clearly does but only AFTER Sam Peter has had his chance.

He has fought not once but twice for a MANDATORY shot at Maskaev. They have already messed him around once by forcing to beat a fighter he had already beaten to earn his rightful MANDATORY shot at Oleg.

Now after agreeing to a rematch which was disgusting in itself, whether you agreed with the original decision or not, he is know told 'Sorry we stil l don't want to give you your mandatory shot'.

Sam Peter has wasted a year of his life, risked his health and his record, AND paid the WBC money for a right to fight for their title belt.

He could have gone for one of the other belts but he's fought the WBC belt been cheated once already and now they are set to do it to him again.

If Vitali does come back and fight Maskaev I will never have prayed harder for any fighter to lose than Vitali that night. Angry
Im sorry to hear that, and i understand what your sayin Bilbo, if theres anyones opinion i respect around here its yours, However, i think i will have to agree to disagree with you.
Vitali klitschko could of held on to that title for along time without ever fighting because of his injuries, but when he couldnt get prepared to fight, he gave it up, he left... he Left the belt that means the most in boxing today. And i believe, the reason why peter is so upset, is because got Beaten up by wlad, imagen what would happen with Vitali, and i think THATS where the problem lies. If vitali gets that shot, Samuel peter will NEVER be the WBC champ. Ever.
