Then Brewster would have been the WBA IBF and WBO Champ and then Sergei would be the holder of those 3 belts, Wladimer may not be champion, and you could have Shannon Briggs as the Undusputed Champ if he wins this fight.Quote:

Briggs is garbage, he MAY have a shot vs Maskaev simply due to his age. Sergei SHOULD outbox him and make him look old, Wlad would wreck Shannon Briggs which is why Shannon took the fight vs Lyakhovich anyways, because Shannon doesn't like punchers, never wanted to fight one and has "beaten" one...and I use the term "beaten" very loosely. Foreman should have been given the decision!

He fought pretty good against the punching LewisQuote:

It would be nice to find out which one of them is serious about a comeback.
Very true but Lewis let him get off first to begin with...both guys took some really hard shots and overall that was a pretty fun fight to watch.Quote:

None of them are...Briggs has had oppertunities to step up his competition in recent years but he hasn't, Briggs has stayed active though.Quote:

Well said!.... his lack of consistency was probably his biggest drawing factor...The one thing that was consistant though was when he came in prepared he was a force...Quote:

I didn't mean to say he wasn't dominating or not a better champ than Tyson, he certainly was...It's just that when not properly prepared LL had a nasty habit of fighting down to his opponents level and it lent for some shocking surprises...remember most American fans were hoping LL would get KO'd so his ocassional "falling down on the job" always had people buzzing when he was to fight...Quote:

Thats all done Lyle.Quote:

I don't know if he has the desire to train really hard, or if it will be overpowered by the desire to eat himself into retirement. O0
