The official Wladimir Klitschko vs. Shannon Briggs saga: the "Cannon" laying siege

OMG I didn't want to believe it but it does seem this whole thing has been orchestrated for another easy defence. How can anyone think this will be competitive? I actually think Wlad could seriously hurt Briggs. He took a bad beating against Vitali, this one could be far worse.

I don't think Briggs really is an option despite what Bonte has said or is reported to have been saying. Brigs was belittled by RTL TV staff during the build up of the Pulev fight, how can they now sell a man they just portrayed as clown to their viewers as a serious option. I take it they re asked about possible opponents by the press and for the constant stalking of Briggs he s a name that comes up in questions and as such the KLitschko camp has to answer these questions. Would be much better if they flat out discarded the name from the list of possible opponents. I'd be very dissapointed if Wlad really fought him. I do think he's concerned with his legacy and while not every bout can be vs a top notch opponent or legacy enhancing, a bout vs briggs would be ridiculous.


Hook would be much better though he's not a genuine heavyweight, but at least he's been active, he has a good cruiser record and hes given Povetkin a run for the money, too.

 

How did Briggs get a WBA rating of #7 ??? I guess same as how Wilder got into the top 10 also........dodgdy ratings.

 

Im kinda sure Wlad will fight him, now or after 1-2 match. He will try to get atleast 20 defences or maybe even 25, and all of his fight cant be top guys.
Also there is big interest and money in this match. And Wlad wont miss the chance to punish Briggs.

 

This guy seems to think it will happen(I hope not) But his ****ysis and conclusion are hard to argue with...

Damn! that guy could be my long lost brother :scaredas:

 

Please no. Briggs needs to fight at least two top ten fighters before that should happen. There are good fights for Wlad in Fury, Wilder or Stiverne.

 

Let's go champ

 

Ha ha! I hope it will not happen!

I would have no problems if wlad decided to fight him with no titles on the line and that briggs would have no purse k2 should just pay his training expeneses and traveling. (briggs said he would fight for free and is this cluber lang so he should be taken for his word )

It could be billed as peoples championship!

Most likely scenario is that it is all staged and would end in 3 rounds by light jabing and dive ko! I have feeling that K2 is doing it for briggs to have a payday as he was robbed blind after vitali fight and vitali seemed to be friends with briggs what you think?

 

Wlad says he wants Briggs now, because it is "what the fans want." This confirms what we already knew: The whole rivalry has been staged. What a joke. Briggs, whether he has a chance or not, hasn't earned this fight. That said, I'll watch the fight, but with little expectations.

 

Just saw that I'm late to this..sorry Jim Jeffries..

 

I think that would be a good test for Wilder. Brigs is a good boxer and a banger. But, too stationary though for Wilder.

Winner of that should be vs. Wlad.

Wilder KO Brigs in 2
Wilder KO Wlad in 3

 

But . . . . if Briggs connects on Wilder, it's lights out. That's what makes this fight interesting imo....I'd like to see it.
