Briggs could be next for Wlad

[Master]

Briggs should not be next for Wlad, there are plenty of better and more deserving fighters. It would send out a wrong message that you can publicly harass the champ and you will get a fight with him. At least Haye earned it.

Exactly! It's rewarding a negative behavior!

I wonder if jennings and klitchsko will be able to make a deal on the money front

I like Bryant Jennings, but he's even less of a threat to Wlad than Briggs imo. He's to small, not enough power, not rangey enough etc. Can't say he doesn't deserve the fight, but I'd give Jennings a decent chance to beat about anyone else in the division and almost none here, hope it doesn't happen.

This would be a good thing. I'd like top see Jennings take the Wilder-Stiverne winner mostly but with hbo featuring him no doubt Jennings is on the short list for Wlad also.

I read an article in the ring about Jennings, how he worked a job and boxed before the Perez fight. He sounds hard working and humble but said even though he started late in the game he has a lot to learn. That does not sound good enough to fight Wlad.

He's a far more well rounded fighter who has proven stamina, chin, not to mention actually earned his shot than say a Wilder. And in all honesty when has being good enough to fight Wlad stopped him from meeting more than a few of his recent challengers

I think jennings is the best of the contenders that would be available to fight next spring in america on hbo jennings is the best of them, although that doesn't really say too much.. He is not old or overweight and is coming off two pretty good wins against actual contenders(although the perez result was pretty close) . Whether he is a threat to wladimir is another matter though but I think wladimirs team is looking for someone who isnt a big puncher so wladimir can do what he did to pulev again and look good for hbo. Briggs seems to be back weighing at 260 pounds(same he weighed v vitali) so I dont think it would be easy to put on a crowd pleasing ko against the big fellow.

also jennings is going to be the mandatory so it is one way of getting him out of the way and wladimir getting to the front of the wbc que...Jennings is in a pretty good position he can make a fair bit of moeny from this, good luck to him !
