Where are you getting this from, Lyle? Have the sanctioning bodies all agreed to allow this? Last I heard every one of these guys has a huge stack of "mandatories" that are supposed to come first. Maskaev's got the winner of Toney-Peter II, assuming he gets by the tomato-can he's set to fight in Europe. Briggs has someone he's supposed to fight. . . .

If it did happen this way though, I think Briggs KO's Valuev. They're both terrible, but Briggs is way more skilled and a much bigger puncher (for the 3 rounds that his stamina lasts, anyway).
