    He has some mental recovery to do...he's got a big question mark hanging on him until he gets back in the ring. I'd like to see him take a fight or two before fighting for another title, I feel not doing so was detrimental in Brewster's case vs. Wlad...

    He needs to get back in the ring if he wants a title. This inactivity is bad. He should of fought somone in the top 15 already.

    Hopefully the loss to Briggs hasn't damaged him mentally. It's been in the back of my head that when/if he comes back, he might be in the same boat as Vassiliy Jirov.

    Hopefully he's used all this time he's taken off to get into top form.

    Of that list, I think the only one that I think Liak could probably beat would be McCall, and possibly Brock, but Brock/Liak would be a pick em fight.

    The rest of those on the list would beat Liakhovich, in my opinion.

    He is a very tough guy with alot of skill and an iron chin, or close to iron, but I think he could build some muscle and increase his KO power, pretty easily.

    He has a rather thin and weak looking upper body, and I think he could use to add some muscle mass to increase his KO power. Now I am not saying he should go get as massive as Briggs, before anyone accuses me of saying that. I am saying that he could stand to add some muscle mass, and increase how dangerous and effective his power punches are.

    Great fighter with alot assets, but I think some heavy upperbody workouts would be an improvement to how lethal his shots are.

    I seem to remember his trainer yelling at him in the Briggs fight as well.

    Last time I even heard his name being brought up was to fight James Toney, and that fight fell through, so I don't know what he's doing. WBA has him ranked at number 2 currently. I'd like to see him fight an eliminator with Valuev.
