Comments Thread For: Klitschko: I Want To Fight and Punish Shannon Briggs!

be careful of what you wish for it may come true shannon

Bernd Boente needs to make sure this doesn't happen. Vlad is pissed on a personal level now like he was with Haye. Don't make this fight, dammit.

Lame.... Wlad doesn't have many fights left he shouldn't be wasting time on this silly sideshow stuff

Not at this stage. Briggs is toast. And has had his chances. Jennings gets the BK fight so that's Wlad's tuneup. I'd like to see Fury or Wilder after that.

So would i. But if Fury & Wilder end up facing each other, who does Wlad fight then?

[travestyny]

well well, what a surprise.

Because this whole thing wasn't staged at all.

He fights the winner. He's got a fight lined up end of April so he can afford to wait. I'd rather not see him waste a training camp on a guy who has had enough chances and doesn't deserve this one.

I wonder if HBO is pushing for it since they need to keep supplying Wlad with American cannon fodder and Wilder is unlikely to take a shot right away

Such a waste of time..

Well as long as he fights the winner of Fury and Wilder as soon as possible, that would be good enough for me.

I'm completely satisfied so long as Wladimir beats either the contenders or the beaters of the contenders, before he retires.

Problem is, as soon as they are knocked off, new ones arise.

Anthony Joshua will not be a Wlad opponent for example, too late an entry.

I mean my god Shannon Briggs at this point would be even below Algieri... Manny Pac should take back that number 2 lb for lb spot...

Wilder has an impressive win and this brings up Briggs... smh...

Yeah it's sad. He's doing it to help out Briggs with some cash too. And yeah who knows what business strings get pulled behind the scenes too.

I just think the staged debacle is more realistic than Wlad getting angry. Wlad knows his fans wont be happy about it at all so if it was purely his decision he probably wouldn't have gone through with it seeing the reaction. PRoblem is you have the yankee idiots chanting Briggs on too and that's the audience that'll be paying, not us!

Those Lets Go Champ videos are funny, but they're a little TOO theatrical if you know what I mean, especially the one on the water! Almost designed to be a comedy. I'm all but convinced it's staged. But ya never know!

The Haye fight I can understand, Haye was a relevant opponent. Briggs isn't at all!
