Oscar was confident that he would beat Floyd and even confident he did enough to win against Mayweather, too. I'm not sure his grasp on reality is all there. Seriously, though, what does Oscar hope to do by picking the winner here?
Does Golden Boy have any good heavyweights under their label?
Is Sultan their fighter? I'm not sure. -
I'm fairly confident Ibragimov will beat Briggs, although I am not convinced that he's a top ten heavyweight. People underestimate Sultan because of the draw with Austin, but he won that fight and was robbed by the judges. He was not at his best because he was somewhat overweight (he's a blown up cruiserweight anyway). And Austin is a little better than most people think, he looked bad in his last fight because Wlad is so good.
Ibragimov will defeat Briggs by KO or TKO, unless Briggs gets some lucky punches in early.Last edited by Steelhammer86; 05-23-2007, 06:30 PM.Comment

Trust me on this one, Briggs will KO Ibragimov, dont get too hyped for this.I'm fairly confident Ibragimov will beat Briggs, although I am not convinced that he's a top five heavyweight.

cant believe all the clueless people thinking briggs by easy kayo. some people overrate briggs so severely on here its laughable. the only top 20 guy briggs has ever stopped was serge and he got his rating in a win over an out of shape disinterested brewster. sultan ( at 220 lbs) is a better fighter than mccline,,,sedrick fields,,,darrol wilson and botha all of whom had success against briggs. he may have to climb off the canvas early but he batters a gassed briggs for a mid-late fight stoppage. Im going to bring up these above type posts after the fight and tell you all I told you soComment
