NOW for my opinion...If he takes the money he's able to MAYBE set up a future unification bout by fighting a top contender in a WBA, IBF, or WBO rankings.

Shannon Briggs would fight him.....he could get a belt and then fight for the WBC belt vs Vitali for MORE MONEY later on.


Just me thinking.....Sam should get his shot though
I knew you were thinking Lyle ...I could smell wood burning.

What about this, BOTH Maskaev AND Vitali want Peter to step aside.
What is implied by this?
1) Maskaev thinks he will lose to Peter?
2) Vitali knows Peter will Beat Maskaev and would rather face Maskaev than Peter
3) nothing? comments?

Whats to say that after the Mask/Vitali fight Vitali DOESNT fight Peter for what ever reason where does that leave Peter?
