This fight coming off would be a negative agianst both fighters.

#1: It's way to early for Maskaev to fight again, IWO.

#2: Briggs could whine & cry about Wlad dodging him & also...it wouldn't be very gentleman like of Wlad to bail on a contracted fight...verbal agreement or no.

#3: I want to see Wlad kick the shit out of James Toney or Shannon Briggs more than I want to see him blast Maskaev out of the ring.
