I think Samuel Peters will beat Klithsko if they fight an Elimination, However i beleive that he would beat the current w.b.c champion comfortably.

Sorry but there's no way Peter beats Klitschko (either of them actually). Even Wlad, who tends to hit the deck whne he gets in trouble, easily outscored Peter. Vitali, who has an iron chin and boxes just as well as his brother, would win every round and possibly be the first to stop Peter. The thing is, all three of them look fairly basic, but with the Klitschkos their simple jab/overhand right combinations are damned effective, while Sam Peter is just fairly predictable. Just because hebeat James Toney doesn't make him the greatest of the current heavyweights in my opinion.
Back to the original point..yes, Klitschko would beat Maskaev easily. He does deserve his shot as he was made champion emeritus when he retired and whether that's justified or not, it isn't fair for the wbc to renege on that status. However Peter has worked harder for the right to challenge for it so he should get the first opportunity. After that, Klitschko would fight the winner, and probably get more money that way too, so you could argue that this scenario keeps everyone happy.

Vitali deserves his immediate shot at the title as he retired as the reigning champ, giving him the right to return and reclaim 'his' title.

I think Vitali easily beats Maskeav, and Peters, as he is comfortably the best heavyweight out there at the moment.

The fight I want to see, though I know it would never happen, is Klitchsko v Klitschko, Vitali v Wlad. Sibling rivalry settled in the ring, that would be grand. Or better yet, Phil Neville v Gary Neville. What a fight! Get it on!
