Mayweather: "50% Chance That Briggs Beats Wlad"

[Derranged]

Its just an opinion, no need to get all crazy about it, you know who you are. Anyway Wladimir should forget about this Briggs already. I mean all four HW's are taking crappy fighters as their first defense, Lyhovich's defense being the biggest joke of them all.. What gives??

[beez721]

Wlad is more recognized than Briggs but the realistic possiblity of both knocking each other out is so obvious. So indeed it's a 50/50 chance for both.

not. briggs power has never looked nearly as good against top 15 fighters. he has a 1 in 4 chance at best imo and if he doesnt come out agressively he will get taken apart

Floyd Sr. reminded me of a joke:
What are the chances that you are gonna come out of your house and see a dinosaur:
HS student -- 1 out 10000
College Student -- 1 out of 1000 000
College Professor -- 1 out of 1000 000 000
Blonde -- 50% chance, you will either see it, or not.

At the end of the Forrest/Quartey broadcast, Lampley said that Briggs/Wlad isnt official, and that it's possible that Wlad is waiting for the winner of Rahman/Maskeav.

Arum was interviewed on B-TALK recently and he said that he wanted to put Rahman up against Calvin Brock in november and have the Wlad fight in March (if everything goes to plan). He sounded like he had no interest in having rahman fight wlad in Nov, even if he does have an early night

why would mayweather say that, no **** he has a 50% chance, so obviously one of them is going to win, you mine as well say ****ing nothing at all

what i didn't like about mayweather's comments was that in his thoughts, both are the same fighter. he metioned something like - if you come at those guys with heart and determination, they will fold. i, for one, have never seen vitali "fold". especially in the way he insinuated. vitali had already passed the lewis chin check test. he took ll's best shots and although his face got cut up nasty, vk never even wobbled. and wladimir already went through peter fairly easily barring a few scary moments resulting from massive rabbit punching.

anyone else catch the boxing on the outdoor life network last night? in a short interview with rahman, he mentioned chasing vitali into retirement. what an idiot to think that he had anything at all to do with vitali's retirement.

on a side note - anyone else read that james toney thinks rahman might get knocked out?

I think that there is a 50% chance Mayweather made these comments due to badblood between him and Emanuel Steward.

bro, if you don't mind, what exactly is the problem between those two? it's late in the morning and i'm not exactly remembering why they have some kind of badblood.

It goes back to De La Hoya. Steward claimed that Mayweather was recieving too much credit for De La Hoya's sucess. Mayweather countered saying he was the best trainer Oscar ever had. Oscar backed that claim up. Tomorrow I will have the exact quotes.
