Wladimir Klitschko vs Shannon Briggs - Who Wins?

WBO Heavyweight Rankings May 2010 Title Name Country Champ WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO (Sup Champ) UKR Interim 1 Alexander Povetkin RUS 2 David Tua (Asia-Pacific) (Oriental) NZ/SAM 3 Tomasz Adamek (NABO) POL 4 Denis Boytsov (WBO Europe) RUS 5 Ruslan Chagaev UZB 6 Samuel Peter NIG 7 Nicolay Valuev RUS 8 Alexander Dimitrenko UKR 9 Odlainier Solis CUB 10 Chris Arreola USA 11 Francesco Pianeta ITA 12 Chauncy Welliver (Asia-Pacific Int.) USA 13 Gonzalo Omar Basile (Latino) ARG 14 Sam Sexton GB 15 Eddie Chambers USA Hope Tua Klit get made. Adamaek,Povetkin and Haye should go back to cruiser,they might get hurt.

Briggs would have had a good shot in his prime but he wouldn't even get passed the fifth now. When was his prime? When he had a draw with McCline,or later loosing his first title getting beat every second of 12 rounds by Ibragimov?

Briggs has power and can always land a bomb but let him actually beat someone good 1st. Exactly. Good to see a fair post not coming from a Klit's dickrider or a Klit's hater(aka Lewis fans and US patriots).

wladimir win by KO/TKO in early or mid Rounds against shannon briggs

Briggs is shot I don't think. Shot fighters doesn't koed journey man in one round,they draw with them,or late ko them. Briggs look like explosive dynamite just right now. But he's still the bum he always was.Great power tough.

Briggs has been a shot fighter, Wlad by KO

Way to early for this fight to happen yet. But if Briggs keeps winning and beats a decent fighter along the way, he might start calling Wlad out again like he did before.

Klitschko would flatten him.

Doesn't, or didn't Lamon Brewster also fight in that wild way? Klitschko handled him masterfully, both times, he just gassed in the first fight. What masterful way? Shannon briggs and brewster fight nothing alike

Briggs has gotta beat a credible opponent before he starts calling out the Klitschkos. shannon briggs is really trippin on this one i feel he is clearly past his best years a s top heavyweight boxer and he still has some nice power in his hands but he is too old and has not beaten anyone worth mentioning over the last 8 years and ray mercer doesnt count he was already shot as well!

why the **** is this even a thread? wuts next, who wins the rematch wlad vs mercer? Vitali is fighting that Polish dude though. Briggs doesn't deserve it, but we're talking about the heavyweight division. Anybody in his clowncar can get a shot.

why the **** is this even a thread? wuts next, who wins the rematch wlad vs mercer?

I'm not too sure what happened. I don't think it was anything to do with Briggs himself. He's a lot of things, but I don't think he's a ducker.

That video is 3 years old though, since it was posted, Wlad DID beat Brewster in a rematch and make him quit, so that part is invalid, and I see no reason why Wlad would lie about his lawyers sending a letter.

Train or not, he has serious health problems, or at least that was his excuse before his suspension for banned substance abuse.

That's a pretty tall order Paul; Briggs has had conditioning issues for most of this decade and nothing I've seen or heard would indicate that he's dealing with said issues. It is. But one would hope that Briggs would train hard if he were to ever fight Klitschko. Everybody knows the Briggs who fought Lewis would have had a serious chance. All Briggs needs to do is shake all of that rust off But he can potentially do it - that's all I'm saying. He may well be too far gone though. Who knows.
