Is Maskaev the softest title holder of all time?

Neither did Briggs. All he did was talk and knock out journeymen. Not to bring up Briggs again but really he didn't deserve a shot either. Peter Okhello would not surprise me if he beat Maskaev. Nothing can surprise me in this division.

What if Okhello gets lucky and beats Maskaev? That just makes the division even more of a joke. I don't blame the fighters for wanting money, but something needs to be done to make the system fairer. Even Maskaev himself did very little to deserve a title shot.

Maskaev is trying to cash in on his title while he has it. I can't say I blame him, but it isn't good for boxing one bit. We need unification, not more bullshit soft title defenses.

He is one of the worst, but the worst? Hell no.

Since when did going 18-4 in Japan get you a shot at a WBC title? If evander Holyfield took a fight like that, even at age 44 people, you people would be crucifying him right now.

Picking Okhello is insane, Barrett is one thing, but this is getting beyond a joke with the heavyweights.

I'd like to hear it from you that Briggs is shit. I admitted Maskaev is one of the worst title holders, which is as plain as day and never did I defend him as a good champion or even having a possibility of unifying the titles. The only time Maskaev looks good is in comparison to a joke like Seldon or Briggs (I actually consider Seldon higher than Brigg because at least he possessed talent to balance out his lack of jaw and heart). Now let's hear you admit how shitty Briggs is. Briggs actually has aspirations of unifying titles! Maskaev on the other hand, is a droopy testicle who is scared of all the other Eastern European contenders and anyone with less than 4 losses. Peter Ohkolo? Okholo isnt even ranked in the top 20!! How is this fight allowed to happen? I hope his ugly wife goes to hell.

Yes I am defending him. LMAO He may suck, but he is clearly superior to Briggs or Seldon. clearly adv Definition: without any doubt Antonyms: indefinitely, indistinctly, mysteriously, vaguely http://images.digitalmedianet.com/2004/Week_44/3ux5rxf5/story/06-incorrect.jpg Maskaev would destroy Briggs, it would not go the full 12. Please! Oleg would take one flush Goofi shot before he got Kirk Johnson'd out of the ring into a T-Rex puddle.

Yes I am defending him. Whoever started this thread claimed that Maskaev is the worst title holder of all time which is BS. He may suck, but he is clearly superior to Briggs or Seldon. Maskaev would destroy Briggs, it would not go the full 12. I hope the two have the opportunity to fight and you will all realize just how true this is.

Now let's hear you admit how shitty Briggs is. You're only (laughably) implying I'm a big Briggs fan or supporter to make yourself feel better about getting called on sticking up for Maskaev. Briggs is garbage, but so is Maskaev, and that's what this thread is about. Maskaev has been knocked out more often, and in highlight reel KO's by garbage fighters. So has Briggs, but not as often, and not in as hilarious a fashion (a Jab from Whittaker for example). He sucks, and you came in here to stick up for him. Bottom line.

Both men have lost to fringe contenders. Maskaev has had bad losses, as has Briggs. To say otherwise would be silly.

Maskaev and Briggs both suck, but good for them for taking advantage against passive champions in Rahman and Liakhovich. if ever there was a division you could not be passive in, THIS IS IT. I mean this division SUCKS. worst division ever. it's like whoever gets out of bed and decides to go balls to the wall will be the man that night.

Briggs is relative to the conversation because he, and not Maskaev, is the worst title holder in heavyweight history. Maskaev is one of the worst, but compared to Briggs he looks pretty damn good. There is your relevance. Conversation over. Whatever helps you sleep better. Maskaev is garbage, that upsets you, you look to displace. Classic, and sad. As usual, you just make yourslef look pathetic.

this is wat i have been saying the whole time! thank you for making this thread

Briggs is worthless as a champion, and will lose his belt the minute he defends it against a top caliber opponent. Live with it. That wasnt' the topic, but the fact you're ranting about it in this thread just illustrates how crinkled up your little panties are getting at the talk of Maskaev being (rightfully) called shit. Ranting about Briggs doesn't make Oleg any less of a walking piece of garbage glass.

Oh, how predictable, Bozo has come to defend one of his pet New York fighters. We're splitting hairs here buddy, and yes Sedreck Fields is worse than any of the guys you just mentioned. Also Maskaev might not have much of a chin but the guy at least has some stamina and heart: qualities that Briggs doesn't know much about. Pet New Yourk fighters? Wow are you a fucking goof. Get called out on your garbage, have nothing to say, so make something up. Maskaev is garbage, and he's been shattered by garbage. Accept it and move on.

Holy shit!! I was coming into this thread to say that Bruce Seldon was the worst champion in the history of the world. I remember as a kid thinking he was good on ESPN because of his body. Bowe took him out in one round and I quickly changed my mind. Great minds think alike.
