Briggs Tired of Waiting For KLitschko

[Revere]

Briggs doesn't deserve a title fight. He's fought bums and thinks he now is deserving of a title fight. There are many other fights I'd like to see before one with Briggs. Briggs though can blame himself, had he taken a real fight he might have had the title fight he's crying about now.

i would rather see wlad-sergie or maybe wlad-oleg (which seems to be to early for him to get back in the ring) than wlad-briggs. they need to start to unify the titles.

that is why i hoped rahman would have pull of the win, cause they had it all figured out, rahman was gonna make 4 mil to fight klitschko, and it would have been the biggest hw fight in awhile..

only problem there is briggs power has looked far from great when he's stepped up in competition. he's never been able to knockout a top 15 heavyweight. look at jeremy williams,,,his power looked great as well against class c and lower guys but he also failed every time he stepped up. to measure power you also have to look at the guys theyre knocking out. that said,,I still think briggs has power,,,but its overrated in my opinion

If I was wlad I would take him very seriously and IM sure Emmanuel Steward will have a great strategy for this fight. I have just recently seen Lewis-Briggs and Briggs has Lewid hurt really bad and almost knocked him out in the 1st and 2nd rounds.

Well Wladimir's camp doesnt owe anything to Briggs. ANd even if Briggs doesnt get to fight him, at least all this talk gets his name out there and perhaps he'll get to fight a lesser but KNOWN opponent.

The only chance Briggs would have is if Wlad DIDNT take him seriously. He doesnt have the confidence for that anymore.

I think it will actually be good for the Heavyweight division if Wlad can unify all the titles and fight until he is 34-35 without losing...Wlad is younger, more skilled, has the power, and is more marketable than the rest...If Wlad was American, he would be the "Oscar" of the division...not saying he still couldn't, just think he would of been better off since it wouldn't have taken a whole lot of marketing other than show a picture, say he is "American" with a Gold Medal, and is Champion of the World...he can still be very popular, I just think his people suck at marketing him in America...there is a problem with every fight being on cable, but he still could be a lot more popular than he is now...hell, wouldn't even mind him fighting a "novice" on regular television, though this would have to be a fighter that looks built to fool the viewer that doesn't really know jack about boxing.

i think it is very likely he will retire without losing another fight, whenever that may be. realistically to unify the titles he almost needs somebody else to unify two while he held 2 and fight each other, so somebody else needs to step up otherwise itd be difficult to get all 4 one at a time.

i really wonder to what extent he wants to become the unified champion, is he willing to sacrifice to make it happen, or would it just be icing on the cake of what is to him an already successful career?
