one clean punch may also be all sultan needs. hell,,he hits a hell of a lot harder than darrol wilson. hate to break it to you but even austin would have a good chance of beating briggs. sultan will stop briggs in the late rounds. thats if briggs doesnt try to get out of the fight again and recovers from his deathly illness

The guy has some talent. James Toney co manages him and uses him for a sparring partner and he would not bother if he didn't see something in the guy. Mora's problem has always been discipline, he was never a bum, but Sultan handled him like no one else has been able to.
Wlad Klitschko would not have beaten Mora any sound, what would he do, knock him out in 30 seconds as opposed to 46? lol.
Let's not make a big deal about this win and say Sultan is going to take down Wlad, but he's certainly done a good a job as he could have with the circumstances he's been put in. He was forced to face an inferior fighter and he took him out, like Wlad did to Austin, like Tyson did in almost every fight of his early on, like how any great heavyweight would deal with that kind of fighter.
I'm not saying for sure that Ibragimov will be great, but he'll be wearing a belt around his waist soon.Comment

Ever since the Lance Whitaker fight, I knew that Sultan was a very serious player in this division. Any discussion about the top heavyweights now has to include Ibragimov. He has fast hands, big power, and throws alot of punches. He's a very dangerous fighter, and a southpaw to boot.Comment

Oh man, I cant wait till Briggs kicks the Salesman's ass.
Briggs by TKO 4
Austin beat him in the eyes of many observers, and Austin sucks.Last edited by Parody; 03-11-2007, 11:57 AM.Comment

your going to be very surprised if briggs ever decides to shake his grave illness and fight him. sultan is a totally different fighter at 220 lbs. he was over 230 lbs for austin and it showed. briggs couldnt get past mccline,,darrol wilson,,sed fields or even botha. sultan will give him a beating and stop him. if Im wrong I want everyone to bump these threads and remind me. thats how sure I am he beats briggs. he wont be ****** and come out of shape when a title is on the line. briggs cant take a pace thats sultan fights at when he's in shape and most of briggs big power is gone after 3 rounds. its that simple.sultan tko 7 briggsComment

I've been talking up Sultan, not Timur like Lampley kept referring to him as ever since the Goofi fight. I was dissappointed in his showing against Austin as well but I know Sultan is a big player in the division and he will prove it against Briggs if and when Briggs decides to fight him.Comment
