The fact that he continues to insist on jumping the queue suggests two things:

1) He knows Maskaev is a C lister and represents an easy chance to pick up a belt with little risk.

2) He sure as hell doesn't want to fight Sam Peter.

This makes me think that even if he does get first shot and fights and wins against Maskaev, he will follow in the proud footsteps of Ricky Hatton and thanks the WBC for the opportunity and hand them the belt back.
I disagree, Vitali earned his Emiritus status, it's his parogative to fight the chanp whenever he wants, Peter is entitled to his shot too, and he's gonna get it against Klitschko!
