    At least Briggs has a better chance of beating Wlad than Jennings.

    Jennings has no power and can't outbox Wlad, while Briggs carries good power until he gasses after the first minute of the fight.

    If it happens it's a bunch of arse. It's clear as day they got Briggs to act like a twat to create demand for the fight (or attempt to)

    Fucking joke.

    The OP is trolling.
    As others have pointed out, Wlad has faced and soundly beaten Povetkin and Pulev... and he's ducking Jennings :patsch

    Wlad has more than earned the right to face Briggs in a grudge match the way SB has been stalking him.

    Your statement is incorrect.

    Wladimir is self-promoted. K2 Promotions is headed by Wladimir and his brother Vitali. Aside from doing mandatories to remain in compliance with the sanctioning bodies, Wladimir is able to utilize complete discretion in choosing opponents.

    If he fights this ancient, steroid-laden, vegetable (Briggs), then the criticism is 100% deserved.

    People should go view Vitali- Briggs again. That fight was over 4 years ago and Briggs has done nothing of note ever since.

    It isn't 1998 or 2006 anymore.

    The 43 year old hasn't won a truly relevant fight since the epic Liakhovich fight in '06 (all due respect to known journeymen Calloway and Alexander).

    Just look at Briggs' boxrec:

    One of the worst HW title challengers ever, honestly...

    Yeah I know, Briggs don't deserve it at all but at least he can punch. Anyway, Wlad can't be beaten at the moment so it don't really matters who is fighting him.

    Wlad vs Jennings will be an insult to the sport of boxing. I will not even stay up late to watch it live. There are at least 20 people he can match up with before Briggs, if not more. Wlad should look at Povetkin and see how true fighters choose their opponents. They can make a talk show with Briggs if German fans are so in to "let's go champ, that's right" nonsense of Briggs.

    Tarver won't be accepted by German TV station RTL. He's completely unknown. Briggs is known to 75% of the German boxing fans.

    David Hasselhoff is more popular in Germany than Muhammad Ali. Sad but true.

    calling a whole fan base dumb in this case Germany because they would watch a not so good fighter in the limelight while ignoring the hipocracy is the point stupid. Nothing about Povetkin... Not even sure why you brought up Povetkin?

    Im making a comparison how ignorant your comment is. since you called a whole country's fan base stupid as you said Germany you should be careful because its easy to turn around your words to say the same about your country and their fan base... So by your logic your saying British fans are stupid and would watch **** fights. :deal
