    Shannon Briggs has said in the past that Wladimir Klitschko is afraid of him. Specifically, Briggs talked about face-to-face encounters in which Klitschko supposedly showed signs of fear, lack of self-confidence, avoided eye contact, etc. According to Briggs, Wlad was very uncomfortable.

    Does anyone know about these alleged encounters? Did they happen at press conferences?

    Is it true?

    Wlad is psychologically unaware of him.

    Where would they have met? They haven't fought on the same card that I know of. Do they have the same barber?

    "Is it true?"

    What do u think? The guy just wants a payday. Do u honestly think that Wlad & Vitali would be scared of Briggs? They have taken on nearly the entire division over christ knows how many years, have beaten nearly everyone they have faced & yet somehow we are expected to believe they would be intimidated by Briggs? The guy can't even box a round without slipping into a coma, asthma or not.

    He would be an absolute last resort opponent & would be a HUGE step backwards at this point in time. Back in the day he would have been a credible opponent but his continual **** ups put him out of contention and besides, he would have been blown away, guaran-****en-teed!

    I saw one encounter, at the Klitschko/Brock post fight press conference. Pineapple head was at the back and stood up all Mr.T style and accused Wlad of ducking him. Wlad answered him very respectfully. It was hardly a face to face. Briggs is full of false bravado.

    Wlad's team was working to get a fight with Briggs weeks before, it was supposedly going to happen. Then Briggs team pulled out and signed with Don King to face Liakhovich instead. That led to Wlad fighting Brock instead.

    Briggs has always been one to run his mouth in interviews and on tv.

    Briggs is an absolute joke and nobody should really take him seriously.

    He is garbage.

    His girl is hot though.

    Briggs is out of shape. His stamina is wretched. Both Klitschko brothers stop him. That said, he doesn't deserve a fight.

    Im waiting for some to come along with "all it takes is one shot and Briggs could KO Wlad"


    But yeah, Briggs is ridiculous. When was the last time the guy was in a legitimate fight? 3 years ago?

    Yeah, Klitschko stopped McCline the fight right after McCline took a UD over Briggs. Then Ibragimov got completely shut out by Wlad after Ibragimov took Shannon's title. So, Wlad should be really thinking about this blatant ducking of Briggs. The guy tested positive for a banned substance to knockout Marcus McGee. Marcus...McGee. Briggs has earned his shot. Fight him, Wlad.
