Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko Discusses Shannon Briggs Fight

[Rip Chudd]

haye wont fight the k bros vitali had no choice but to fight briggs

I doubt Haye would even fight Briggs

[ophqui]

Audley Harrison has never defeated a Ring top ten heavyweight or won a world title. Briggs at least has the KO win over Lyakhovich.

Shannon is slightly younger than Audley, who turns 39 in October.

And Shannon has the most first round KOs of any heavyweight in boxing history. Most of Briggs 1st round KOs were over clubfighters and perhaps even cab drivers, but let's keep in mind Audley lost to the Belfast taxi driver Martin Rogan, who started pro boxing at age 33.

Im not saying Harrissons better than Briggs, im saying that when you're fighting nobodies, how can you criticise someone else for doing the same? Their both effing useless, but theres a lot of throwing stones from a glass house going on here. At least Audely vs Haye will have some decent coverage in the UK for the general sporting public, who gives a crap about briggs vs klitschko?

Shannon needs his asthma pump at the ready

Briggs called Haye out before the Vitali fight was signed and got nothing in response but silence.

Briggs is not exactly a "nobody." You are exaggerating to try and make Haye look better. Briggs has certainly done more than Harrison has in his career. When did Harrison win *any* version of a world title belt?

All some people do is whine about every friggin' fight that comes along ... if you hate all these fights so much, why watch boxing? Move on to MMA or whatever makes you feel better.

I am looking forward to this and think it will be fun with some good fireworks from both fighters.

Vitali by UD

Vitali knows MANY world champions who had asthma ?

I would like to know who they are... I'm a bit skeptical...

Hate this fight for the reason that shannon would ko haye in 1 round. Vitali kills all the killers of haye. Vitali will stop him by round 10 or sooner. Haye keeps his make believe title. Damn !!!

Hard to believe Briggs is even getting a title shot. Says more about the division right now than all the other fighters they dug up for title fights.
