!
Solis? Briggs? Stiverne? What will this do for him?
Stiverne actually beat Helenius and David Price in the amatuers and has built up a solid and respectable record for himself, making his way up the ladder. It would prove to people like myself that Helenius can fight up and coming, hard hitting boxers that can fight. Stiverne can fight.

Solis is another good boxing test for Helenius, and Solis has a name brand you can relate to. Solis is also an up and coming prospect who lobbied himself, much quicker than Helenius has, to a fight for the title againts Vitali. Sure, the fight ended in a shit fashion- but he lobbied himself to get there. Helenius doesn't look like he wants to fight the big fights, if he takes this and tags himself to the Solis fight with Vitali, he can move one inch closer to a belt and some respect!

I kid you now- Briggs is a lot better than many of the guys out there in the fringes. He also fought Vitali, plus he is seen as a durable fighter. Hard hitting and very exciting. Can carry KO power into the late rounds, plus experience in with being a name brand. He doesn't have to take a Briggs fight, but people would believe he is something more than what he is if he takes a fight like a Shannon Briggs. Plus, Briggs is no Rahman- who is all about done, fat and lazy!

I would believe Briggs would get another shot at a title against the Klits than Helenius is to getting one shot at the Klits, or Povetkin for that matter!
Shannon Briggs was supremely talented. Beautiful left hook, amazing agility and speed for such a big man. He just had a bit of a weak chin and much like Kermit Cintron, he constantly doubted himself in the ring.
