Vitali deserves his shot only after he beats a top 20 heavyweight. This way Peter gets his fight, Vitali gets a tune-up and then the superfight can be made between Vitali and Sam. Having Vitali walk right into a match doesn't make sense for Sam or Vitali...Have Peter wack out Maskaev and VK wack out a non threatening opponent to set up the big fight and payday for both does make sense...Having VK walk right into a title fight with Maskaev just makes the whole title belt lose credibility and interest and $$$ will suffer...
