    It has been talked about for years. They should just get it in imo. **** it it is better than any other of his defenses.

    I would be up for it, no worse than Thompson, Rahman, or Austin.

    I'd rather him fight one of his mandatories to get it over with. (Povetkin, Dimitrenko)

    Who the hell wants to see wlad fight briggs? I dont get why some people think Briggs is some kind of a threat when he's clearly just a 3 round asthma attack fighter.

    He would be another victim, that's it.. It wouldn't be competitive or anything like that..

    povetkin is avoiding him like its his job but Dimitrenko would be a good choice also

    For 3 rounds he would be the most dangerous fighter he's fought since Peter in 05. Briggs is extrmely powerful and is a good counter puncher, if he would go all out in the begining he could possibly get to Wlad's weak chin/psyche. Remember Briggs has the most 1st round knockouts of any former champ of the last 50 years, I believe 60% of his knockouts come in the first round.

    Briggs recently declined fighting Golota because he was out of shape.
    Do you think Briggs can get in shape for Wlad anytime soon?

    Briggs is perhaps the most boring Heavyweight not named John Ruiz. The guy stands there flat footed in the ring and throws 10 punches a round. No thanks.
