    Its actually getting hard to remember the time when Briggs was actually relevant in the HW division.

    Yet here he is...

    Werll then you dont need a Visa.

    Briggs does. He cant just come to the UK and work at the drop of a hat.

    Same way I cant go to America and just start working.

    Didn't David Haye pull out extremely close to his fight vs. Wladimir in 2009, and Wladimir went on to defend his belts vs. southpaw Chagaev

    Think it wasnt on that short notice, but this shows the difference between a world champ and a loud mouth Gypsi.. he will go back into his hole where he came out and tell everybody next week noone wanted to fight him.. :deal

    I really believe it was around the 2week mark for Klit/Haye substitute. Also have to mention that while basically any fighter Fury uses as a replacement; if any, will have for the most part had zero training camp. All the while Chagaev had been training for his own fight vs. Valuev, as good a training camp for Klitschko's size as you could have hoped for. Before that fight also fell through because of him having hepatitis

    Haye didnt pull out until after they'd named Valuev WBA titlist. Having 2 titlists at once.

    As soon as Chagaev said he'd fight Klitchko, they stripped him for failing to fight Haye in the UK where he couldnt get licensed. :patsch
