      This fight would be better than a Briggs fight.I think Briggs is a more dangerous fight for Wlad but we need 1 heavyweight champ for the sake of boxing.Boxing needs the mainstream fans to start paying attention to boxing again and crowning a undisputed heavyweight champ would help.This fight would be a good start plus the last time the mainstream fans saw Briggs he was getting whooped silly by Jameel lol.Lyakhovich is coming off a great win in a exciting fight and i think this fight will have way better ratings and help sort out the division some.

          The only problem with Boxrec is that they are trying to come up with the formula based on ring's and other rankings. So, I like to use the sourse, so to speak.

                Boxrec sucks, its coputerized but we don't even know the criteria they use. It is totally inaccurate most of the time. Ring magazine is the only ranking system I put any weight into.

                  The Briggs that lost to McCline was total garbage and weighed about 260. Briggs has been getting into much better shape and taking his training seriously and is gonna enter the ring for his next fight at about 240.

                  Upsets don't just happen, they are created in the gym. Believe me on this, if Briggs goes in the ring at 240 and as motivated as he is now, Wladimir will leave on a stretcher.

                    I'm sorry, but I didn't see Briggs in those ring rankings, have you? What exactly was you point again for opposing Wlad vs. Liakhovich, #1 and #4 HW boxers in the world?
