We now know for a fact that the reason he was so keen on fighting Maskaev for a world title is because Maskaev is a bum.
In case you didnt hear bilbo, vitali has inactive Layoff'd for 3 years.

ALSO take a look at this list...
Samuel Peter is fighting maskeav
Sinan Samil Sam is Fighting Mccall
Oliver McCall Is fighting Sinan samil Sam
Hasim Rahman is fighting Taurus Sykes
James Toney Caught Juicin
Donnell Holmes
Evander Holyfield is fightin lou savarese
Alexander Povetkin is fighting Montte Barrett
David Tua
Juan Carlos Gomez is fighting Dennis Bakhtov
Calvin Brock just fought alex Gonzalez
Chris Byrd Who knows whats goin on with him
Oleg Platov is fighting Henry Akinwande
Sultan Ibragimov just fought Briggs
Lamon Brewster is fighting Wlad

So his choices seem to be David Tua, Jamil Mccline, Ruslan Chagaev (wba), Luan Krasniqi , Tony Thompson Lamon Brewster Sergey Lyakhovich, John Ruiz, Ray Austin (whom got demolished by wlad), Nicolay Valuev.
Out of those names any one of those could be opposition, just so happens to be McCline.
Cmon, who do you want him to face?
