Personally I'd rather see Briggs vs Klitschko. Both guys are pretty much equally irrelevant in the heavyweight scene. Except both would probably beat the **** outta Povetkin...go figure.
I don't think that there's that much between them at this point. Shannon may be a lot older and has been exposed on more occasions, but let's face it, at least he's in somewhat respectable shape.. Peter couldn't show up for a big payday in good condition if he had a gun held to his head through out training camp.. He also recently failed in big fights with Vitali and chambers, and hasn't done much to redeem himself..
Agreed, Even though I've been starting threads to joke about this fight, and feel that Briggs has next to zero chance, at least it would draw some brief attention due to the names involved. The whole unification thing has fallen through and the top contenders are backing out of the fights, so we might as well at least turn to the novelty factor..
Finally a fan that shows enthusiasim for the sport :good So much better than reading this sucks that sucks they all bums blah blah blah... I'm looking forward to this one too :bbb
if i have have to choose between Peter and Briggs i would choose Briggs but i would prefere to see Klitschko vs Haye, Solis, Adamek , Povetkin or Valuev
Nope man, just no... Briggs, give me a break.. You are just assuming this all that Povetkin cant handle punchers...
Hell yeah, Another thing is that for as big as Briggs is he has much much faster hands than Scam Peters. I like this fight.
I would choose Solis or Adamek before Peter/Briggs. Obviously Haye and Povetkin are not considered because they are ***gots.
I can't believe Paul Briggs is getting another shot so soon after the Green fight-and at heavyweight!
Briggs has much more Power than Peter and he's taller. (He's a better boxer too, but he doesn't really throw enough punches for that to be relevant) Anyhow, Briggs would have a much better chance of scoring the upset than the short crude clubber.
Briggs is reportedly fighting Vitali, and Peter is fighting Wladimir. So...what's the point of this thread? What are you asking? Are you asking which brother has the more credible opponent? Wladimir has the more credible opponent in a rematch with Peter than Vitali has with Briggs. Peter would beat Briggs, and although he probably can't beat either Klitschko stands a much better chance at doing so than Briggs.
