Comments Thread For: Klitschko's Trainer: Briggs Did Nothing To Deserve Shot

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to many, former heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs has been going overboard in his approach to secure a fight with WBO/IBO/WBA/IBF unified champion Wladimir Klitschko.

Wherever Klitschko goes, Briggs goes. Over the last year, Briggs has confronted Klitschko at media events in the United States and Germany. He also had a confrontation with Klitschko in a Florida restaurant, and even rented a boat to approach the champion while he was on a paddleboard at a lake.

Trainer Johnathon Banks, who works with Klitschko, is not impressed with Briggs' antics or his recent string of knockouts.

Briggs is a disgrace and he ought to be in jail for dangering the life of Vladimir with his speedboat.

Vitali almost killed poor Shannon Briggs

Shannon Briggs got beat so badly by Vitali that is was cruel and unjust punishment and almost justifiable homicide of Briggs. Briggs was defensleless and had to spend two weeks in intensive care in germany trying to survive? How in the F--- does that cruel disaster almost lethal beating of inept Shannon Briggs qualify poor Briggs for a Wlad fight? WTF?

"peeleft: Wlad on Briggs

[The Hammer]

Not only has he not beaten a top ten heavyweight, he's not beaten even a top 100 heavyweight since Lyakhovich in November 2006.

LOL, true. I honestly believe Briggs is brain damaged. He should just go away, or fight cans.

Can you really fight for the world championship without beating one top ten contender?

If your name is Deontay Wilder then sure, no problem.

[Crazylegs77]

Its a double edged sword, sure Briggs hasnt done anything lately but the way boxing is why would any up and coming or top fighter risk fighting him?
Deyontay Wilder didnt even fight a real opponent and he getting his shot at Stiverne


Maybe he should try to make a fight with Tony Thompson or Malik Scott.

Thanfully he isn't entertaining the fight at this stage, i'd prefer it not to happen so Briggs can keep up these funny antics tbh, if he fights Wlad and loses the fun would be over.

Now that i think about it, Briggs vs Banks would be a far more competitive matchup.
