I agree. I'm not a fan really, but you can't help but respect his determination. Really doesn't avoid anyone. Then again, lucky for him he doesn't have the WBC belt, because the farce of a situation there means unification with another belt won't happen for another 12 years.
The funny thing is Ibragimov seem to go after everyone, yet has yet to fight himself in the ring with someone really dangerous. He landed an eliminator for Wlad with the biggest name on his resume being Lance Whitaker. Ibragimov drew against Ray Austin in that eliminator, and instead of facing Wladimir Klitschko, he is facing Shannon Briggs for a world title. No disrespect for Briggs, but at 35 he was about as bad a champion as they come, even in this era. Ibrag goes straight for unification, yet ends up fighting a 44 year old. Now, compare Ibragimovs career with, say, Tony Thompson's and it is hard not to consider him almost incredibly lucky.
