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

I dunno we have a guy who "doesn't believe in evolution" and a guy who thinks Briggs is a huge draw and better than Pulev (you). This thread is full of ******s.

 

nah the 90s was good thats why briggs didnt win a legit title but he did in 2007 when all the eurobums took over lmao and he called out wladimir when he had wbo title ofcourse wladimir ran

 

If they're bums, how did they take over? I'd hate to know what you call American fighters if their overlords are bums.

 

free college education
+
NFL
MLB
NBA
MLS

 

Hmm they have free college in Europe too I wonder why Americans all chose girl sports (coincidentally, even girl sports in Europe are of a much higher, international level than in the US).

Could it be that they were never good to begin with and once the sport went international they only maintained a presence in domestic league sports?

You don't exactly walk around American cities and think "breeding ground for world-class athletes". Atrocious diets, feminine lifestyles, zero reproductive selectivity.

American HW boxing was where you found a kid from the ghetto and trained him to shock the public by wailing on flatfooted rednecks. It was a circus sideshow and I'm glad it's ancient history.

 

I never said either, that's a false conclusion you made.

Briggs IS a bigger draw than Pulev. Is he better than Pulev? At this point no.

Is this clear enough for you??

 

Got to admire his crazy/stupid charisma, you just don't see that anymore trying to build a fight WWE style, it's like we're back in the 80's....

 

German outlet "BILD.DE" is reporting that Briggs is being financed by a backer. They sponsor Briggs' antics while he promised them a cut of the payday he hopes to get.

They likely won't try to invade Austria as Wlad has tight security in his camp that the hotel is providing. But Briggs allegedly already has tickets booked for Hamburg and will try to get as much media attention there as he possibly can.

 

because Wlad is not an IDIOT....why the fu.ck would he throw a punch at Briggs? so he could break his hand? get sued? get arrested?
only morons think Wlad has anything to do with this act other than being targeted so he looks like stupid when things like that happen. Its clear Briggs is doing all this just to be relevant again....Wlad has been champ for 10 years and has more money than he will ever be able to spend...but this is his late career scheme to put together a fight with an unranked 43 year old? atsch
just shut up :rofl

 

yeah i really doubt wlad is invloved int this

 

I am surprised that so many think this is staged.
The simple answer to the question "why is there always a camera waiting?" is that it takes a few seconds to take your phone out of your pocket and press record.
Wlad knows that not even Briggs himself thinks he is a threat and just wants a payday. Numerous times now Briggs has been 'held back' by people that he could easily sweep aside if he really wanted to get to Wlad.
Why he thinks pouring water on his head is unacceptable but chaisng Wlad around and eating off his plate is okay I can't imagine.

 

Briggs really shouldn't be mentioned with W.Klitschko right now considering what Vitali did to him. but he's gaining himself enough notoriety that he is all of a sudden relevant again, like it or not really. but this would be an interesting fight. would be Deontay's first real fight, who wins it? and how?

 

He hasnt beaten anyone of note in about a decade.

Hes 43 and took an unmerciful physically ruining beating against Vitali.

Its amazing that he keeps himself in the spotlight with this nonsense.

 

Call me crazy, but I think Briggs is Wilder's, Fury's and Price's poison.

That doesn't say he's better as them in the whole, but he is just the one to exploit their major flaw, wich is punch resisitance, before gassing out and becoming a puchbag against them.

 

Honestly I'm not sure. Wilder has big power, but is it any better than Briggs power?
Briggs at his best was a very good 2 handed puncher.
Wilder's inability to throw a correct left hook during a fight limits his power with the punch.
Briggs achilles has always been his defense. I've never seen him get out of the way of a right hand with that size 8 head of his.
At 42. Wilder likely KO's him early. In 1994 when he was with Atlas, and kept his hands up I would have picked Briggs though. Especially since Wilder was only 9.:yep
But yeah 94 Briggs beats 2014 Wider. 2014 briggs not so much.
