Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko: Shannon Briggs Fight is Not Realistic

[Clegg]

The fact that he HAS beaten top fighters is more than 99% of Klits roster

When did Briggs ever beat a top fighter?

"At the moment..."

I'm telling you, Briggs is the backup plan if Wlad gets ducked down the line.

If there was a press release yesterday that Wlad was fighting Briggs, people would be calling this a cherry pick and a sham of a fight.
But cause Wlad said its not a good option people on this forum think this is a credible fight.... sad.

After that last can Wlad fought?

I don't think so.

Don't want the fight, should be Fury but I guarantee the Briggs shenanigans has already brought more entertainment to boxing fans than the fight Jennings ever will.

Good. Wladimir has enough questionable title defenses without adding a proven loser in his 40's.

Pretty much this.

I'd actually be in favor of this fight if it did not open up the door for every other idiot to try the same stunts Briggs has pulled.

It appears a beat down is the only conclusion that will silence Briggs,even Charr was trying to get in on the act with his Barbie doll ringside against Leapai.once one tries and succeeds others will follow.

I suppose Briggs is just following what David Haye started,it worked for him right ? Can he be considered an idiot after building an heavyweight career on the Klitschko's successes,with the riches he amassed ?

After the beating which Vitali gave Briggs, nobody can blame Wlad for not considering Briggs to be a viable opponent.

It's moronic to even think about this fight being realistic. Wladimir could have harder fights with a heavy bag,

This fight spells nothing but permanent brain damage/hospitalisation and even risk of death for the already debilitated Briggs.

Someone just bankroll Briggs and get rid of him. His claim to fame out of this is that is was funny. That's it. But he is in no way a professional anymore.

Otherwise he'd beat a top contender. he knows he can't!

David Haye was a cruiser champ and very valid contender. everyone knew it.

Please don't compare Haye, a thrashing machine, to Briggs, who was never as good as Haye even 15 years ago!

Did you guys read the article??

He said "Not realistic right now."

Right now.

He didn't say "No." He just has plenty of real fights on the horizon. If Briggs keeps doing his thing, I think he'll get a shot.
