    I really hope this fight happens, i really really do.

    The buildup will be amazing, the fight itself entertaining for a couple of rounds, until Briggs gasses.

    Slim to none.

    I think it's pretty irritating to have another guy taking a page out of the Haye book on how to get a big fight with Wlad and taking it to a whole new level.

    Probably, but at this point it can clearly be concidered stalking.

    Wlad doesnt seem to mind,

    otherwise hed have reported Briggs by now. :good

    But yeah i get your point, i think the whole thing is fixed. Wlad most likely wants to create a storyline and Briggs needs the money, and so we have these incidents where they keep bumping into each other and chaos ensues.

    I actually find it entertaining and it makes me want to watch the fight.

    I think he does mind, at least judging by one of his last interviews in wich he clearly stated that Briggs was pathetic and would only get the fight if he managed to get into mandatory position. And even then he had to wait in line because Wlad wants the WBC belt and then has the winner of Fury vs Chisora II lined up for him.
    I think he's in a lose/lose situation here.
    If he does report Briggs, he would be ridiculed at the forums by his haters for not being able to handle his own afairs... "some champ".
    If he doesn't, this **** will go on for another year or so until Briggs finally gives up (Haters: Wlad is afraid of Briggs) or actually gets the shot ((Haters: Wlad is fighting another bum, you see that it was all a setup)

    I think Klitschko and co. Are having quite the laugh on behalf of Briggs. Let's be honest, Briggs is asking for a fight he can't possibly win, and he's going to ridiculous lengths to get it. None of them are taking him seriously.

    Briggs has got into great shape and looks the part. But he's done.

    I'm just happy that fans have not started to demand the fight, which I think was the plan.

    Briggs needs to get himself a cardboard sign reading:
    'Will stalk for food'

    But why did he name the song Turkey Burger? Is the title some kind of joke or am I just overanalyzing the ramblings of a man who is clearly insane?
