Lyakhovich is like 6'1, 220, not nearly big enough to get leather on Wladimir. It's gonna be the same **** we saw with his last three opponents, all who were good but not built to beat Wladimir Klitschko. Briggs however is 6'4 or something like that and is a much bigger, stronger guy than Lyakhovich. Anyone who is that big and has a punch with some skills is gonna give Wladimir trouble.
Rankings shmankings, lemme tell you guys whats behind the numbers. Briggs is exactly the kind of fighter Wladimir fears. A guy with the size, speed, and power to get punches on him that hurt. Lyakhovich, however, isn't.
It isn't about who can beat Wladimir, but who can't. Is Wladimir taking an easier opponent style wise, I say YES! Not hating, just gotta call them like I see them.
Its sad realy, we havean opprotunity for unification and dip****s like this guy post almost comical stories about Briggs being a feared fighter
It would be damn funny, if only these idiots didn't think this was true.
Try your luck!
