Wladimir Klitschko vs. Shannon Briggs

[ejk22]

No Mention Of This On The Klitschko Website Or On *********. I Will Believe It When I See It On These Two Locations.

[Mike Tyson Jr.]

Briggs is gonna
knock him out

[Torino]

Wlad Klit, will never be what was supposed to be years ago. He has been exposed, & is always one round or one punch away from disaster...

Exposed like Lennox? The fact is, virtually every fighter gets knocked out sooner or later. They are ALL "one round or one punch away from disaster". It's the nature of the sport. It's the exception not the rule that one finishes his career and doesn't get ko'ed. Most of the best boxers in the history of the sport have been Ko'ed. WLAD IS NO DIFFERENT. I'm not saying Wlad is one of best boxers in the history of the sport, but in the getting KO'ed department, he's only human like the Ko'ed greats were that came before him.

Your statement is just anti-Wlad rhetoric...

But goddamn, he has nothing on Shannon Briggs in the FRAUD department.

Briggs, is as big a hype job as any fighter in history.
He has lost every significant fight he's been in, with the exception of the ludicrous decision win over Big George.

Briggs couldn't even beat FRANS BOTHA, who battered & floored him down the stretch.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion. This one is yours. The problem's with those that can't tell the difference between opinion and fact.

If briggs comes in under 260 its gonna be a Briggs KO round 3. Briggs has some serious power and hand speed, and a lot of heart.

Lennox Lewis came back & defeated the people who beat him. His two losses were attributed mostly to his own apathy, & that seemed to proven by the way he handled the returns.

Wlad was KO'd three separate times. He was KO'd twice because he unraveled, & became exhausted, after being unable to finish his foes.
The other time (Sanders), he was KO'd because he could not avoid
or absorb the punches coming his way.
Those losses showed big *****s in his armor....*****s that will be just about impossible to fill in.

"Anit-Wlad" rhetoric ? That's what you'd call it, based on that little bit ? C'mon....


.....& I can't really figure what it is you were trying to say in your comment concerning my take on Briggs...but, I'll tell you this:
If you think Shannon Briggs is not an overhyped fighter, who has come up short......then you are as blind as you are unobjective & straight-up sensitive.

There is absolutely no comparison with Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko whatsoever, i don't care how talented Wladimir is, he will never go down in history the same way as Lewis, he just doesn't have what it takes when it comes to big punchers.

[TheEvilSaint]

for briggs, i think this will be either his big break or his big flop. he is the question mark in this equation. is he as good as he has shown, or has he just been fighting bums and has-beens?

but if wlad uses his jab, and his reach, he might get the better of briggs.

we'll see...

It's the thought that counts, mate. But that it is on boxrec doesn't necessarily mean it's official.

On November 11th. Wladimir Klitschko will fight Shannon Briggs. I think Shannon will win.

Welcome into last week.
Oh, and btw, Wlad ko in under 5.
Briggs is a bum who fests on even bigger bums, he was decent 10 years ago, but now he has to cover up every time he hits the heavy bag in fear of a recoil KO.
