Comments Thread For: Klitschko: Shannon Briggs Must Be Saved From Himself

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Shannon Briggs was of course in New York City for Wladimir Klitschko’s heavyweight championship fight with Bryant Jennings this past weekend. Briggs wants a fight with Klitschko and has been seen confronting him on various occasions, always with at least one camera already rolling, a grassroots publicity effort he hopes will get him a shot at Klitschko without actually earning it with quality wins.

Briggs, speaking at Friday’s weigh-in prior to a confrontation with titleholder Deontay Wilder, says he deserves a title fight based on his past accomplishments. He was briefly the lineal champion himself during the 1990s after a controversial decision win over George Foreman in 1997. He lost immediately thereafter to Lennox Lewis. And Briggs picked up a sanctioning body belt in 2006 after a last-minute stoppage of Sergei Liakhovich, losing it immediately thereafter to Sultan Ibragimov.

It said on another site that Briggs was not allowed in the arena (didn't give a reason, but I'm sure the Wilder confrontation might have played a part, plus MSG can refuse anyone I'm sure).

AGAIN I'll say it, Briggs get to number one, you'll get a shot at the champ. Get to number one, you'll get a shot at the champ. Stop being a comedy act and get to fighting real contenders!
