Comments Thread For: Shannon Briggs Open Letter To Challenge David Haye

[Boxing Scene]

Haye is a runner ?, yeah that's why he has 22 ko's from 25 fights.
How many of you net warriors would stand and trade with Valuev ?
The Valuev fight was boring, but the tactics were spot on.

I'm not a boxer, so no I'm not going to stand and trade with one, and yeah, Haye did RUN the entire fight from Valuev and spent the whole time backing up from Ruiz. How the hell do you RUN from Valuev???

Give it a rest alt-boy.

Who's my alt then? I've had the same account for three years but since you can't read you didn't look at that part did you?

I only comment on what I see. And in Haye I see a guy who isn't man enough to stand toe to toe with another HW unless he's a journeyman like Bonin. I don't care what he did at Cruiserweight. That is a joke division compared to HW, that's why they all move up: Adamek, Thomson, Gomez, Haye.. etc etc. Haye just needs to find another guy who hits and runs for the dullest HW fight in history.

Good post.

Lennox was criticized for being too cautious throughout his career, but on reflection he was exciting compared to the brothers. He put Ruddock away early, had an entertaining fight with Bruno, showed a lot of heart in the tough with with Mercer, blew away Golota, had an exciting fight with Briggs showing heart to recover after being in trouble, blew away Michael Grant, put on a masterclass to avenge his defeat against Rahman [Wlad couldn't put him away years later when Rock was shot], and was in a brutal brawl with Vitali Klitschko. As well as that, he threw a variety of punches. The brothers just throw straight punches with no variety. Where are the uppercuts?
I don't personally dislike them, just find them a bit uninsiring. They are both very good boxers who are very difficult to beat. No doubt.

As for Briggs, if that really is him, it would be disappointing. But there's no way of proving it. Hopkins made racist comments before the Calzaghe fight, but it was argued that there was no real malice in it, it was just to promote the fight. But there should be no place for that nonsense in boxing or any sport. People just like watching exciting fights, regardless of colour.

The people running that particular board know it's Briggs, or they could easily ban him and erase his posts, as they do to others all the time. Briggs is obsessed with the idea that HBO wants white heavyweight champions, which seems ridiculous to me. I think Shannon needs to look in the mirror for the source of his problems, instead of engaging in conspiracy theories and character assassination.

Vitali threw some nice uppercuts against Arreola. I agree that Wlad should use that punch more often, but he's getting the job done just fine either way.

I hate Haye's fighting style. It is cowardly in my view...run rabbit run...

Obviously Haye remains a frightened cruiserweight who won't want any piece of your Arreola's Solis's Tua's Peter's...and will only get in a ring with the K's for 50%...i.e he'll price himself out and claim the usual BS!


Briggs would probably KO him. 50% chance I reckon.

so how many top contenders has either klitschko knocked out in 3 or less? 1 Austin...who's style sucks & is chicken ****...klits are no better

How many top contenders has Haye stopped, period? The answer is 0.

[Davros?]

Briggs can see the $$$$ signs.

Haye won't ever fight a legit, top HW contender. He will keep fighting bums in the WBA circle jerk for as long as the dumb Brit boxing fans make him millions with their pay-per-view.

The Brits are spoiling Haye and allow him to avoid higher risk opponents.

More like the residential player pimp who commands the attention of every whore in town including the high-class Klitschko sisters.

Its called being the Draw!

Something we havent seen at Heavyweight since Tyson.

haye's only a big draw in england. I dont know where people get the idea of him being a big draw. most people in the states dont even know who he is yet

[beez721]

the klitstans obviously feel threatened by haye, otherwise they wouldnt be constantly talking about him.

lol,,,they feel so threatened that wlad made a video calling haye out to fight him. thanks for the comedy dude
