Of course, he did lose to Lou Savarese in '99. Regardless, Whitaker vs. Maskaev ought to be a tell-tale fight for both boxers. Guys like Etienne are what's keeping the heavyweight division alive. I'd like to see him against anyone on this list. No one's sure, other than WBO champ Wladimir seems to be the better of the two.
Somebody needs to match 'em up tough.
Derrick Jefferson has possibilities. And after beating up a couple more bums, he could make some waves. Can certainly take some punishment. That's all I have to say. The only one who can mop up the division screwed up and is rotting away in a nutbag hospital on his way to prison.
