    well, usyk would probably ud him.

    but briedis seems smart and wily enough to counter and hurt many a fighter in the cruiserweight division.

    hes quite clever and composed with decent punch

    If he runs into Afolabi, McKenzie or Bellew, he's had it.

    Briedis vs Huck, Afolabi, Glowacki, Ramirez, Kalenga, Gassiev would all be very good fights. But I don't see him beating Lebedev, Drozd or Usyk.

    I dont know,man! Drozd is getting old.He is a still a very good operator and beats most of the present cruiser weights,but Briedis will be no huge underdog if they meet each other within the next 12-15 months inside a ring.
    I wouldnt bet a single coin on the Latvian against Usyk though.
