Speaking of which, I could understand why Emanuel Steward was trying to play up a unification bout between his guy, Wladimir Klitschko, and Sam Peter, who won the WBC strap from Oleg Maskaev this past Saturday on HBO in Cancun, Mexico, but for Max Kellerman to decree that there was some 'mandate' for this fight to happen because Peter made a 'statement', it sounded like a corporate agenda.
The only statement made by Peter was that he isn't very good, doesn't have the requisite conditioning and is still rawer than sushi technically. He's fortunate he fought a shot Oleg Maskaev, who never had much in the way of whiskers to begin with.
What Steward saw ringside was a much easier fight than the one they had back in 2005, which is understandable given his role. But the other guys?
