Good fight? Whoever wins would be a legit contender for an eliminator or a voluntary defence. Who wins? I think Thompson would weather the early storm to win a UD, with Briggs gassing out.
Did Briggs stop hounding Wladimir, or is he still at it? "Let's go, Champ! Let's go, Champ!" lol Those videos were hilarious! lol
It has died down since he has seemingly 'earned' his shot after Jennings! If you check his Instagram there are atleast 10 'lets go champ' videos uploaded everyday.. Sickens me to the core that he will get a go at Klitschko for purely being a ****
Shannon Briggs didn't have a single real fight since 2010 - that's a half decade. His name being brought up against any decent fighter(let alone Wlad) is simply a joke. Tony Thompson fought only top 20 fighters and managed to KO Solis and went 12 rounds with top boxers like Pulev and Takam. He deserves every top level fight that can be arranged. I'd love to see him against Fury instead of Hammer, he can as well fight anyone else in the top 10, Povetkin, Perez, Glazkov, Stiverne.. anyone.
Thompson outboxes Briggs who's beaten no one half- decent in years. Tony Thompson and Wilder would be a nice match for the WBC belt and a further test for Deontay.
