Shannon Briggs-- The guy you are fighting is ranked 267 th in the world! And you want a Klitschko next?! WAKE UP!!!! Make me a balloon, clown!

People need to stop acting like they even know who the **** dahaupus is. None of the of the guys trying to sell him even heard of him before this fight was announced. Now all of a sudden they're experts on the heavy weight division and having been watching him for years on shoddy streams from Europe. It's laughable.

Pffft who knows who half these stiffs are that the HW top10 fights. Tyson Fury who is supposed to give Wlad his toughest fight ever just fought Christian Hammer (who?). And who can forget legendary Wach, Povetkins big match coming up..

If Shannon Briggs were a character from Goodfellas he'd be Shanny Wantsafreeshot.

Duhapuas ain't the greatest fighter but compared to Shannon Briggs at this point? Come on, Briggs would be passed out by the end of the second round..

Of all the things you can level at Shannon Briggs at this point in his career, being out of shape is not one of them. He won't have stamina issues. He may have old man issues (i.e. being too slow) but the guy is proven to be hard as nails (12 rounds of Vitali's hard punches).

Wilder knows Briggs will bring it I think if Briggs gets a shot at wilder it will be a FIGHT he's experience and his been active...

[Weebler I]

duhaupas would box brigg's head off..briggs would be gassed by the 5th and likely let it out on his stool

Duhapuas ain't the greatest fighter but compared to Shannon Briggs at this point? Come on, Briggs would be passed out by the end of the second round..

then why didn't he fight Briggs? it's not like he gets any extra credit for Duhapuas.

Truth is Briggs can really punch, and that's a problem if you're Wilder (or Haymon protecting Wilder).

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Wilder should take that fight. It's good money and better than the current bums he's facing. At least he will be facing a former heavyweight champ who's done a good job at hyping himself.

Lets Go Champ!!!! lol seriously though... not that Briggs deserves the fight but FFS its better than Wilder fighting Johann Duhaupas.... but that's none of my business....

As sht as the Duhaupas fight is Briggs would be worse, people are running with Briggs because he was an American, mediocre fighter 20 years ago who suddenly grew a loud mouth to get a payday in his twilight.

The Duhaupas fight is awful, a Briggs fight would be worse

The question really should be why is he fighter either of them?

"So I was sitting fat on the couch and thought, 'damn, I'm broke, ain't got enough money for donuts. I'd better get a loan and get on the juice. And come up with a slogan for my latest comeback.'"

It's hard to say who is a bigger joke, Briggs or Wilder.

But is this the same Briggs who recently had to go the distance with Raphael Zumbano Love?

Why, yes it is!

The same Briggs who got easily beaten by Sultan Ibragimov for his belt?

Yep.

Briggs and Wilder both have something against cabbies and bartenders, so it's fitting they should face each other.
