      Hey, Lyakhovich was the second best heavyweight in the world at that time. Not saying it was classic Briggs or classic anything but he did what he had to do at that time to get the win.

      Lyakhovich just absorbed so much damage in the fight before it with Brewster, he really was damaged in that fight.

        He still looked like ****, but fair enough. He got the opportunity and he won, cant really talk **** about him.

          If he had of stayed the same weight he was in his earlier years instead of trying to become a bodybuilder, he could have been a lot more successful. Anyone who punches as hard as he does, with the speed he has at delivering them, will always be very dangerous. He would have been a very dangerous opponent for Wladimir Klitschko, had he stayed in better, lighter shape.

            Agreed muscle slows you down is more to carry and makes you alot less agile. the Klitty's are not built like body builders and they can really throw some serious leather.
