What is the matter with you guys? You think Peter will KO Oleg? That is funny.

Peter couldnt KO Charles Shufford, nor Robert Hawkins, nor Juvo Pudar, Marion Wilson, WK, JT, ... but somehow, because he found away to beat a short fat middle aged middle weight he is on Maskaev's level?

What exactly is he going to do against Maskaev? a) KO him? Not very likely at all given his record, b) outjab him? A much shorter fighter rarely outjabs a taller one, if he tries then the Oleg right over the jab... c) outlast Oleg... you must be kiddin, d) out grit oleg? no they are both tough, e) ... I simply don't know.

What is it you think he will do? I suppose (a) KO Oleg. But the evidence that this will happen is not very strong. Its always possible, but the only people Peter has KO'd have been second tier fighters. So apart from that what is it that gives you this confidence?

I actually feel sorry for Peter.

He will fall so so so low, when late, the 12th perhaps, he stumbles to the canvas out of exhaustation as Oleg repeatedly pummels him with atavistically brutal right hands. then what? He could have taken MILLIONS sitting in his own beach condo preparing for a far more excuscable loss against Vitali.

This is the truth of the matter. He would have lasted perhaps 12 rounds against Vitali, bleeding from his face and losing on all cards bc of VK jab points. But that would still have been another step to recognition. Now... (and by the way I doubt that Peter is less than 32)
