Is Shannon Briggs actually a more credible opponent for Wladimir than Alex Leapai?

Briggs almost died in his last fight. I would favour lepai to beat him quite easily - though it doesn't say much about alex but more about briggs.. didn't you just hear briggs in his rant? he's fought twice in the last 8 days

They're both equally terrible.

A crippled aids infested burns victim would be a more credible opponent than Alex Lepai.

No way, Briggs is passed his best, he is just doing this drama for a big pay day so he can retire. He was gassed out by just talking let alone fighting, he started to sweat to death by just talking.

No, man Shannon passed out after camera stop rolling.

They're about the same. No, they are not.

One beat the former mandatory challenger, the other nearly got killed by big bro FOUR YEARS AGO and has come back to beat something like the 400th and 300th best heavyweights on the planet. Although I STRONGLY disagree with this policy of Leapai getting this fight off the back off that 1 win, he still deserves it more than roided-up, shot to bits Briggs. Leapai is still younger than Wlad, and probably has a punchers chance as any heavyweight does. But if Wlad fought Briggs, especially after Vitali's job, most on here would crucify him for picking on shot to bits bums to add 'names' to his resume. This would be like fighting Holyfield at this time.

They're about the same. Everyone who stands in the same ring as Wladimir Klitschko for a fight stands the exact same chance.... None.

Briggs is juicing. He'd fail pre-fight testing.

They're about the same.

briggs is insane if he thinks he can still compete. the ol' man could die in the ring. for pete's sake just retire you idiot. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Briggs is 42 years old and has asthma. His last relevant fight was against Vitali in 2010. He's basically done.
