Why are people so Upset about Briggs Winning?

[Kid Achilles]

I didn't bet any money on the fight, just points on this site that I don't care about. Briggs just plain sucks as a champion. "Briggs" and "champion" just don't sound right together.

[Banderivets]

at least you know hell be knockin someone out or getting knocked out, this is the additude the HW's need, title holders vs title holders, somebody has to beilieve, at least if he loses to a title holder, thats one more title in someones hands further bringing definition to the table.

You got a point there. I agree.

[Kid Achilles]

When Briggs makes his first fight with another belt holder, I will start giving him some respect. I can't help but see him defending against some no hoper like Maskaev did.

Like others have said, I don't hate the guy personally... I don't think he is a failure. He has achieved a lot in his life. However I'm talking about the heavyweight championship of the world... I'm talking about top caliber opponents. And that, Briggs is NOT.

[Derranged]

There will be no unification bout between Wladimir and Briggs, they had their chance to fight, and now its not gonna happen. Suposedly Wlad's madatory is "Ray Austin" and Sultan Ibragimov is the mandatory for Briggs.

Sultan Ibragimov is the mandatory for Briggs.

Another FOTY material.

I have seen 20967845689 threads about Briggs made by Kid Achilles, I know you lost some money in the bet but please dont take it personally bro, you keep degrading him in every possible way instead of even giving a tiny bit of credit, come on Sergei is a good fighter, before that everyone considered Sergei the second best after Wlad, and now Briggs is being called bare names and how **** he is, etc etc etc. A win is a win, and he won, so lets give him credit, he has a dangerous punch and could surprise in the future.

1. Wladimir Klitschko
2. Shannon Briggs
3. Nikolay Valuev
4. Oleg Maskaev

I just thought he looked horrible. I always said serg was overrated as he had been knocked out by mo harris and only had one big win. thing is,,,he looked even worse than I thought he was. I thought briggs would still find a way to lose before the fight....so I give him some credit for winning,but he just didnt look impressive at all. I thought he looked even more dreadful than in the mccline fight. this sure doesnt say much for serge,,,thats for sure. I still cant understand how the hell he beat brewster after watching him with briggs

[TheEvilSaint]

sure briggs has power, uhh does he have anything else or is he just another earnie shavers... but with not as much power as shavers?

.... yeah right.

i wish tony thompson would get the title shot against briggs
