Comments Thread For: Shannon Briggs: Deontay Wilder Turned Down $2 Million!

[Cut Man]

Briggs is at least a recognized name and an entertaining character. The build up would no doubt be worth watching.

I believe Wilder would win, Briggs talks a big game, But I think Wilder would be too good.

Mid-life crisis. I want a title shot without fighting a contender. Briggs is one crazy character.

Why didn't he fight Shannon... Strange!
Build up to the fight would have been good and I'm sure Wilder would have KOed him brutally.

[Ulver]

It would not. We already saw Vitali vs Briggs, that wasn't in anyway great entertainment. Briggs is five years older now and he did jack in that fight.

I was totally entertained watching the great Vitali Klitschko hospitalize this bigmouthed Yankee fool. And I'm sure Wlad would finish the job and put him in a pine box.

Whether it's 'right' or not, I want to see Shannon Briggs fight Wilder or Klistchko.

Tell me I've been bought by hype or good marketing or whatever, but this would be top draw entertainment.

Briggs should beat Aerrola first then speak up

Vitali almost killed Shannon Briggs in Germany leaving the battered bloodied seriously hurt damaged Briggs in intensive care for two weeks. Vitali assaulted the defenseless Briggs unmercifully in humiliating Briggs in the lopsided defeat leaving Shannon for dead basically. If the old Briggs wants to beat on Aerrola then let that happen but a title fight is absurd. Briggs doesn't beat the soft Eric Molina who just fought Wilder. What I am saying is that Shannon briggs is just a dumb joke looking for some cash because medical school didn't work out and a run for US Congressman is not happening.

"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.

[Ryn0]

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).

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

[Ryn0]

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
