Peter or Vitali?

[Kev]

As I said in the other thread, Peter should face Maskaev and Vitali should fight Toney (Ranked #2 by the WBC) in a title eliminator.

You know James Toney is my favourite fighter but after 3 fights without a win I hardly see him as deserving of yet another eliminator.

He needs to get back to winning fights before he's ready for another shot.

I see what you're saying, but...............
Toney or not, the next guy on the list is :

Sinan Samil Sam (Ranked #3 by the WBC) does he deserve a title eliminator shot?
He has the WBC International Heavyweight Title, he is the guy that lost the title eliminator to Maskaev.
But he has an open Date in May.

after that would be Hasim Rahman (Ranked #4 by the WBC)
Just lost the title to Maskaev, already has a fight with Ray Mercer lined-up

below him Oliver McCall (Ranked #5 by the WBC)
Coming off of a win over Yanqui Diaz hasn't fought for
a title since Lewis beat him in '97, has no fight scheduled, just fought in December.

Vitali vs. Sam may be worth it no?

I think Vitali vs Sam as a title eliminator would be fair. Rahman deserves an eliminator more than Toney right now, at least as far as the WBC is concerned.

Oliver McCall definitely deserves a shot. Only 1 defeat in around 25 fights since losing to Lennox Lewis, and he hasn't lost since 2004. He's done as much as Briggs did to deserve his shot.
