Is it fair to say Maskaev ducked Peter? The whole champion emeritus thing wasn't his doing. Okay, he could have fought Peter instead of Okhello, but the guy wanted a softie first. Can't blame the dude for wanting to hang onto his title for a bit.

I see no problem with the interim championship going to Peter, though. He's been put through the ringer by the WBC and it's about time they do something that favors him. If Maskaev has such a problem with it he can easily set a date and kick some Nigerian booty to declare the title is still his.
