Diehard - the point is that Briggs and Arreola have "name" value that still has resonance with the general public.
Most of those other guys don't. Even Takam - though he is good for IBF rankings. Most have never heard of him.
Big-TV boxing is all about the "hype" as much as the talent. Find US fighters that lend themselves to hype and get some attention.
Only Arreola, Tarver and Briggs have that "big name" - apart from the actual champs. So fight them and hype it big in America. Get HBO or Showtime on board.
