David Haye explains why he's not fighting Shannon Briggs

[HeadBodyBodyBody]

Doesn't make sense..if haye gets a belt the fight is that much harder to make? If at all then.....

This ^

If Gaye gets a title, NO WAY would he then make the Briggs fight... "he has to earn it, he's not at my level, why should I put my title on the line?" etc. Plus it might not even get sanctioned, depending

Still, glad that this guy exists- it's a great litmus test. Anyone who says they're a fan, you can make a mental note to yourself... kn0b

Doesn't really mean much.

Haye fought Chisora who also took Vitali 12 and KOd him brutally in 5. Different styles, power, angles and explosiveness.

*One armed Vitali.

*One armed Vitali.

Well he became injured in the fight.

He didn't go into the fight with one arm. It's a good excuse though

[Weltschmerz]

And no, there's no reason to believe anything this guy says in public. Anybody who followed his 'HW career' knows this.

The point is Chisora would have been stopped by a healthy Vitali.

Yeah in fantasy land.

In real life he gave Vitali a tough fight and there was absolutely no indication of otherwise even when Vitali had both of his arms which were for majority of the fight anyway.

When it comes to the man's credibility, I think Wlad said it best... without saying a word.

Hahahaha! Absolutely loving the silent Klitschko video...

[Chrismart]

If PPV is the reason the fight isn't happening, then the fight isn't going to happen anytime. PPV is a ridiculous notion.

Can't say i'm too disappointed either way. Briggs' behaviour sells the fight to the casuals, but it's still not much of a fight.
He's better than the other guys Haye has faced since his return, but it's still a guy Haye puts away without any trouble IMO.

vitali was like a walking Frankenstein slow and had so many injuries and OBVIOUSLY wasn't the same in 2012 ...he wasn't even the same after 2004 when he came back..yea FANTASY land?..give it up LACED up!
