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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

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.

Lol...no he isn't. He's delighted that the German people are buying into this sham he's created. He's already giving Briggs paycheques.

If this fight actually goes ahead I'm gonna throw up.

It shouldnt even be sanctioned, this could be a huge danger to briggs health

Oh god please no.

Let's Go Champ!!!!

If this travesty is to happen, then I hope it's winner take all so Briggs doesn't get a penny out of it!

It's a good thing he is not calling out Deontay Wilder because that will be a bad style match up for him. It will be one of the rarer times where he'll be challenging a man who has more physical ability than himself in terms of height reach and skill who can also fight on the outside by utilizing an effective jab.

If Deontay decides to fight off the back foot then Klitschko would leave himself very vulnerable as he tries to get closer to Wilder from power punches he doesn't see because Wilder is the natural larger man who can effectively fight from a distance.

Moreover, coupled with the fact that Wladdy is not an inside fighter. He is accustomed to fighting natural smaller opponents with shorter arms who comes at him where he can utilize his jabs and clinches. That would be very hard to do against a taller opponent with longer arms who can punch and is constantly circling and staying away from him.

His German followers are not buying into this, they are not that ******. European fans don't want this fight one ounce man.

You think Wilder is a better boxer than Wlad? Because I think Wlad's boxing skill more than makes up for a 2" reach disadvantage.

They did a poll on RTL and this was the fight the German fans voted for most.

Wilder would get iced by Wlad.

Fury has a better shot at Wlad IMO.
