    WTF is mansour?Who cares about him?

    Briggs is a sideshow now.A Toney fight would attract much needed publicity and a decent pay day..The fight appears to be low risk cause Toney has not been active.

    Briggs did not seem to gather much interest for a fight with Wlad with his presence at ringside, is a Toney fight up next for him??

    Not a bad idea. This is an intriguing matchup. Both men have declined in recent years - Toney a little farther, from a higher peak.

    This would probably be the most hilarious fight ever.

    Toney would take him to deep waters, where Briggs would gas out...as long as Briggs doesn't catch him first.

    The buildup would be very entertaining. Toney would win the pre fight trash talk battle though.

    Why not? Both men should have retired years ago, but since they won't retire...
    And as much as Toney is washed up, Briggs won't be able to roll over him like he does with the Pizza delivery men he's fighting now. Briggs would have to work hard to get the win...
    To me this is a 50/50 fight at this point. So Briggs won't take it as there is too much risk involved - all Briggs wants is to get a last big paycheck by getting KOed by Wlad.
    Therefore Briggs is ducking Toney.

    Whoever suggested Briggs vs Mansour had the right idea. That would be a good fight for both men, and would help elevate the winner for sure. Unlike this fight. I also think it would be VERY entertaining.

    Would like to see Mansour vs Briggs with the winner going on to take on Browne or somebody of his ilk - that would be a good measuring stick as to where they belong in the grand scheme of things I think.
