Some interesting news in the Heavyweight division...

[The Promoter]

Shannon Briggs has a nice chance. Hes a stong big guy with a good chin. If he can walk through wlad's jabs and land a couple big shots, we all know what will happen to wlad. I predictts Brigs KO

Briggs isn't going to walk throug Wlad's jabs...those things are like jackhammers......Wlad will KO Briggs inside of 6rds.....Wlad is at the top of his game now....

You might be right maybe you've seen him in the gym....but I'm a little hesitent to think that Wlad can walk through anyone B+/A- fighter other than Byrd right now...I need to see more before I'll subscribe to the "Wlad is invincible" theme that seems to have developed on this board...

I looked it up and Briggs has won 11 in a row against minor opposition. Rahman for all his print lately won 5 in a row after his loss to Holyfield against the likes of Al Cole and the WBC handed him a belt. It seems like the wrds "interesting news" and "Heavyweight division" should be outlawed now a days but hey, maybe Briggs has a chance. Now one gave him a chance against Foreman to be standing at the end of 12 rounds which he did so.....maybe. By the way the "win" over Foreman is still Briggs only major accomplishment, besides getting stopped by Lewis in his next fight IMO.
