    Briggs will be ranked #4 in the new rankings after his win against McCarmack.

    Much like when Briggs suddenly got rated when Vitali was thinking of fighting him. I think we can deduce who the promoter is....:-(

    Shannon Briggs has a watermelon shaped head. It absorbs much punishment. I figure his game plan is to let Wlad knock him around a while as he ponders how to get around that stiff defense.

    I say he hits canvas about 10x and the ref calls it off after about 4 rounds.

    no Louis beat everyone who was great or good, which is why the bum of the month club started. He had to be great to get past all the contenders unbeaten, and then bum of the month began. Wlad would have no chance in doing that, Schmeling would have wrecked him back into being a lowly prospect.


    wlad's managers simply have a hand in the till and are obviously manipulating the title contenders.

    so you think people shouldn't care that the HW title is getting devalued down to subnational level?

    ok, that's your prerogative. you cannot ask others to share your apathy.

    The Cannon is 42 years old and took a massive beating at the hands of Vitali. What if Wlad took the fight and killed him? One more death boxing doesn't need, especially with the world watching. And if were to happen, that would be the end of Wlad's career. I don't think he should take the fight for the reasons listed above. There is nothing to be gained from such a farce.

    BILD.DE (German Daily Mirror) ran a poll if Wlad should fight Briggs, 72% of the respondents voted "Yes, shut his big mouth". The German audience is sold on the fight already. I bet K2 is taking notes...

    :D Devon Alexander was the WBC 147 pound nr 1 contender before he faced Maidana.
    Pacquiao beat Rios to become the WBC nr 1 contender :lol:
    The WBC does what it wants.

    You're acting like ranking a nobody at #7 is something unusual with the ABC organizations. It's totally normal over the last 40 years of ABC mess. It is not indicative of a 'joke division' but rather indicative of the mess 4 sanctioning bodies have created.
