Steward: "Wladimir is Ready For Brock"

[MetalVomit]

Brock isnt ready for Wlad, but I suppose Brock deserves a title shot more than Briggs.

[-Antonio-]

Brock's as ready as he'll ever be.

Exactly. Brock would've already gotten a title shot if he'd signed with DKP. He's worked hard to not go that route, and he should be respected for it.

I've always been a Brock supporter, and of course he's going to be the underdog against Wlad, but he does have a shot. Brock has proved to have a solid chin, good stamina and workrate, and has shown good power at times, too. He's coming off of a sluggish performance, but Timor is one of those guys that is tough to look good against and it was just an ugly fight.

It's a letdown, because everyone wants to see a unification, but Brock is certainly the most deserving contender at this point. And Wlad's stock will rise with a win over an undefeated Brock, and if Brock wins then he becomes the new man in the division.

Brock is not ready for Wlad. This would be a horrible match up for Brock. Wlad is looking for a way out of fighting somebody that has a legit chance of beating him. He knows Brock isn't the heavy hitter like Briggs. Wlad is a *****. Wlad knows his stay at champ is going to be short. He is pulling the same **** his brother did. I hope this fight happens and I hope Brock wins. **** the Klits and their ***** ass selves. Wlad is a belt holder not a champ.

oh please. at least brock has beaten a top 10 guy in mcline who dominated briggs. brock is much more deserving than briggs and I give wlad credit for fighting an undefeated top 7 guy in brock in his 1st defense. many champions have fought pansies for there first defense

[beez721]

Briggs has a better chance of KOing Wlad than Brock does. Brock is not a heavy hitter and Wlad knows that. That's why he would rather fight Brock. I have seen Brock fight live against David Bostice. He took that fight 12 rounds. Anybody that has a punch could have ended it in 6. Wlad is a puss. He is scared of any body with a punch. He has looked over every body who has a cahnce to KO him.

Just because I don't post in NSB on a regular basis don't mean ****. It's people like you, that like to attack everybody when they have an opinion is why I don't. Now **** off.

brock does hit as hard as briggs. briggs power is so overrated its not even funny. name me one good opponnent briggs has been able to knockout? I'll be waiting

I agree, just because one guy hits harder(briggs), it doesnt make him more worthy than a guy who's beaten better competition.

I did not attack u I was just telling u the reality behind it all, beating Briggs will not do much for Wlad, Brock is regarded as one of the best unbeaten contenders. This is the fight that makes the most sense outside of a unification fight that cannot be made because of preparation time for Maskaev and DKP with his bull****t options...

Seriously dude. Brock does not hit as hard as Briggs. Briggs is a very hard hitter. That's why he has as many KO's as he does. If Brock hit as hard as Briggs then his KO's would be a lot higher. I seen Brock fight up close against Bostice. A guy Briggs would have KO'd in 5 rounds tops. Granted, Brock won that fight and to me he won every round convincingly. Brock is a good fighter and I'm not taking anything away from him. But he does not hit as hard as Briggs. Briggs is way bigger and stronger. Brock does deserve a shot but he is not ready for Wlad. Briggs has fought everybody that has stepped up. He tried to fight Peter and Peter didn't want it. There is a reason for that and it's not because Briggs is a push over. I would have liked to seen Wlad fight Briggs, Maskaev, Liakovich or even Peter again. All these guys have the ability to KO Wlad. He chooses the guy who poses a less threat than any of them. If he wants to he can make a fight happen. Fighters do it all the time.

Why is the wbo being mentioned as a legite title? Hbo should be ashamed of themselves, i've heard them try and legitimize the title. Its only the wbc,wba and ibf, we don't need more titles.

Whats wrong with the WBO

Did you read the article?? He fought Peter already and won clearly, whats the point of fighting him again? Maskaev is injured. Briggs decided not to wait for Klitchko to decide if he wanted to fight Maskaev and is going to fight Liakovich. Who's left?? Brock. Sure he doesnt stand a chance but hes the most deserving.

Champion: Wladimir Klitschko.
1. Not Rated; 2. Ray Austin; 3. Calvin Brock; 4. Samuel Peter; 5. Sulton Ibragimov; 6. Chris Byrd; 7. Shannon Briggs; 8. James Toney; 9. Lamon Brewster; 10. DaVarryl Williamson.

He's fighting the #3 guy.... do you think Ray Austin would stand a better chance?
