Wlad shouldn't even consider fighting Briggs. I understand his guilt for the beat down Vitali served, but if he gives Shannon a shot, he might as well fight Evander Holyfield, too, and completely **** on the division.

He has fought pretty much everyone who else is there for him to fight If he beats Pulev that people wont try to down play... ?
Hell people are even trying to down play this fight for some odd reason, saying Pulev is a soft touch its moronic.

- Pulev
- Povetkin
- Stiverne
- Fury
- Jennings
- Wilder
- Glazkov
- Perez
- Arreola
- Chisora
Wow, Wlad has fought a massive 1 guy out of all these fellas. Does that equate to 'pretty much everyone' these days? Add to that, in the one fight he has had against a top 10 contender, he fouled so much it caused Henry Akinwande to stand up and say 'seriously, too much'.
Guys like Wach, Mormeck, Leapai, Pianeta etc etc were never in the top 10, never will be and nobody ever asked for those fights.

The presser would be fun though.

Of course those guys Wlad fought weren't great, but they are explainable for the most part with mandatory obligations/lack of availability or willingness from better contenders to fight Wlad at that time.

Originally posted by PainfromUkraine View PostTo be fair, a lot of those guys, infact most you mentioned, have only recently climbed into the top 10 list. Perez was pretty much unknown before the Mago fight, Glazkov wasn't really a true contender till the Adamek win, Wilder has been on a bum feast to work up the easy way, Stiverne was mando for the WBC and wanted that title fight for a long time, Arreola coming off a defeat to Stiverne and already beaten down by Vitali...well, you see my point.
Of course those guys Wlad fought weren't great, but they are explainable for the most part with mandatory obligations/lack of availability or willingness from better contenders to fight Wlad at that time.
But it is what it is. I'm happy Wlad is fighting top contenders 2/3 times.

Originally posted by LacedUp View PostWhilst elements of that might be true, each of those fighters would have been heaps better than the fighter he actually fought - at the time as well. There's others too like Solis, Takam, Ustinov, Dimitrenko, Mansour etc. Those would also have been better.

If Wlad ends his career fighting the current top guys who are decent talents coming up, I think he deserves some big respect and if he steamrolls through then I think it will enhance his legacy nicely and be a treat for the fans. I just hope we don't have these situations where fights are called for and then the opponent gets slated as a bum if Wlad dominates him.
