    Both of those guys would disgrace the heavyweight championship by fighting, and I wouldn't like to put my dollars down for that.

    I probably wouldn´t even watch it, as I don't watch many of Wlad's fights these days.

      The press conferences would be more worthy of ppv than the actual fight
      This ^.


      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.

        Some of Wlads defenses?
        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.

            Hmm... let's look at the top 10.

            - 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.

              Yup.

              The presser would be fun though.

                To 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.

                  Whilst 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.

                  But it is what it is. I'm happy Wlad is fighting top contenders 2/3 times.

                    Yeah, probably better...but not really by much. Division just isn't particularly good or deep, we know this...and we also knows theres a whole lot of **** which gets in the way of fights getting made behind the scenes. Most of which we don't even see.

                    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.
