    It is nearly impossible to get sparring as a HW, for free. If you don't have money behind you pursing a career in boxing is pointless. In lower weight classes it's very different. Most boxing gyms have lots of competitive smaller fighters.

    The staged Wlad gym video?

    It seemed so contrived

    He would not be a bad David Haye come back opponent - Brilliant for the build up

    He's off his rocker... coming across as desperate as well.

    The one in the cafe? Clearly set up like the rest of them. Thing is the fight is so one sided in truth what is the purpose of them,surely his fans can't fall for this stuff? (As in making out there is real animosity towards each other)

    The latest is in a restaurant and ends with Wlad tipping a glass of water over him. Worse than the last one but look it up anyway for a laugh.

    I'm going to ask you a simple set of questions now and I want you to do your best to answer them.

    Do you think Briggs circa 2014 would beat Haye or Pulev?

    Which ranked fighters do you think a Briggs fight would generate more cash than?

    I'm not bigging up Haye and Pulev I'm just looking at what a joke Shannon has become.
     
  11. they’re preying on casual fans ignorance to sell the fight and sadly it might work. There’s no shortage of my fellow Americans who think that Briggs should get a title shot just because the guy looks like an oiled up WWE wrestler, can bench 500lbs, and can punch (I’m not trying to insult my countrymen but we aren’t exactly turning out a good ratio of critical thinkers nowadays). I have to ignore most of the comments over at the other boxing sites because I actually "de-evolve" from attempting to argue with them and I don’t even believe in evolution. "Wha? U don no sh** bout boxing. Briggs is n good shape n Wlads A scurd p***y. Briggs KHTFO! Haterz!"

    I agree. I would definitely lose a lot of respect for Wlad is this fight happens w/o him fighting someone relevant first.

    Leapai called Briggs out. I say make him fight Leapai. It’s an interesting fight that he could win, and I would love to see it.

    Watching him get pounded by Wlad just seems morbid to me, especially after what Vitali did to him.

    Wlad is fighting Pulev next month, Briggs isn't getting a shot any time soon..... Assuming this is real, then they should just send Ustinov after Briggs, have that fight on the undercard or something. If this is scripted, then Wlad and Briggs are just ****ing around, nothing more.

    I'm sure career sparring partner Malik Scott is available, hell he'd even pose for some pics, and even take a dive in staged fight if Shannon wanted

    Don't try to elevate yourself above others if you're going to make such ignorant and idiotic statements as this. You might as well not believe in oxygen also :lol:

    Yeah but his observation
    I’m not trying to insult my countrymen but we aren’t exactly turning out a good ratio of critical thinkers nowadays.

    Is one I make at times using different words. It was among the best sentences in this entire comical thread :p
