This would be an excellent matchup. I've sometimes thought Virchis may be one of the top ten or twelve heavyweights, but I'm never certain about it, because he hasn't fought enough people I can measure him by. Williams will test his ability - if Virchis wins, we'll know he's a genuine contender.
I've heard some heavyweights have avoided Virchis - that he's had a difficult time finding more highly-ranked opponents. A win over Williams would raise his profile, and improve his chances of getting a world title fight.
Nice we will see what Virchis is made of, he had a good fight with Chagaev and lost a close one against Ruslan Chagaev who is now going to fight Valuev for the title.
