Any truth to the Rumor that Briggs will be fighting Valuev?

Whats a plumper?

wonder what the PPV buy rate would be if Valuev ever fought on HBO for a world title.

You would have to be a combination of insane and extremely drugged up to actually pay to watch valuev:-X

I think the fight would be the most interesting one either guy has had in a long time. Briggs is probably one of the hardest-hitting SINGLE punches. He's not fat- the guy is layers upon layers of muscle. I think in compensation for the cardio he can't (or feels he can't) do. His speed isn't bad for as big as he is, either and he counters decently. Valuev is probably the same speed and extremely open to getting hit. Probably because almost all 50 of his opponents didn't have enough pop to hurt a middleweight. I can see him trying to dance in and out and Briggs dropping a bomb of a right hand on him and then commencing to head hunting. Either Briggs KOs him or gases out and Valuev pounds on him. I wouldn't predict the fight to go past 3 rounds.

Nice to see the WBA sanctioning another joke fight for Valuev :rolleyes:

And they say David Haye has to earn his shot
