    I haven't seen briggs' last three fights so I don't know he might be boxing with a renewed hunger like you say. Him and liakovich gave us a 12 round stinkfest with a ko ending, and then sultan beat him without to much trouble. Unless vitali becomes ancient over night, which he might be liable to do these days, he takes this without to much effort. You all are right though, worse fights to be made out there.

    Briggs has 1 punch left these days and I doubt he can take what Vitali can dish out. Come fight night I think we'll see Vitali at 253 and Briggs at 260-ish....Briggs will come out, throw a couple hail mary type bombs and then Vitali will counter him effectively and finish him off.....Winner by KO in the 4th round "Dr. Iron Fist" Vitali Klitschko!!!!!

    by renewed hunger i mean fighting more regular and pushing for the title shot. he is more hungry for the shot at klitschko than Haye.

    wait why is it Vitali fighting Briggs? Why is Vitali getting people that have some sort of chance at beating Wlad?

    I'd much rather see Briggs fight Wlad, at least there some kind of intrigue in that fight.

    The HW division is just such a mess these days. There are literally only one or two fights I actually give a fuck about seeing.

    They wouldn't have done any better vs Wladimir, actually at this point in time I figure Wlad would have stopped Arreola sooner and he would have beaten Johnson to a pulp....you won't beat Wlad by trying to out jab him and since Wlad hooks off his jab so well I think he would have opened up Johnson's defense a bit better than Vitali did.

    Arreola would have been totally dominated because he throws wide punches, doesn't use angles, and doesn't move his head....it would have been a typical Wladimir fight.

    I would have rather seen Wlad fight Briggs but Wlad is fighting the newly svelt Sam Peter who is now his mandatory...that's more interesting to me, for now.

    Yes but the hyped suspect chin of wladimer always adds an element to make someone watch a fight regardless of how boring whether it's a false hope someone knocks him out or otherwise it can keep someone tuned for the entire fight.

    With Vitali it's basically praying he gets old overnight and knowing he isn't going to be knocked out.

    Arreola I would have favored more against Wladimer then Vitali because of that element, I don't think much of Arreola but if I was asked which brother he had any chance against I'd say Wladimer, same with Johnson. Because Vitali is going to 'outbox' most anyone so a decision is out of the question unless he gets instantly old. Against Wladimer it's about someone pushing him out of his shell and potentially reaching his chin and thus is a more exciting matchup in my opinion with guys like Johnson and Arreola.

    But as far as Arreola goes if I wanted him to fight Wladimer now it would be only for selfish personal masochistic reasons. Reasons I don't have at this moment.

    Sam Peter I think is going to get stopped by Wladimer either way, at least Briggs and Wladimer have a history with each other.
