I agree. I was kinda shocked. Shannon hasnt done a thing.. he is #8-9 wbc... but so what. IMO bad pick for a fight. Although, like I said... I would love a K brother to SHUT SHANNON UP:good
Amazing how hard it is for the Klits to find quality opponents. What about Ustinov? He's 4th on WBC I think. I think Briggs/Klitschko would be pretty fun to watch.
I think Valuev would accept the 2.5 million offer Vitali handed him last april, if it was back on the table. Vitali vs Solis would be a heck of a fight. The 1.5 million offer Vitali recently made to Valuev would make this fight happen, IMO. Briggs, is a decent stay busy fight, but it does nothing for Vitali's career other then a few more millions in his back account.
I'd much rather see Vitali against Valuev, but hey, if Valuev won't take the fight, he won't take it. As I said before, not a lot of options out there for Vitali . . .
oh man! **** valuev he can retire now! hes scared of vitali! Solis and his promoter talked a lot how they would knock vitali out and so on... **** them too! if adamek isnt ready for vitali too bring on shannon briggs and lets all hope he isnt just looking for this one last big payday and comes to fight
lets hope briggs comes in shape and we have a six round war.....cant see his stamina holding up longer than that, even in shape...but the guy can bang, and vitali likes a tear up if he getrs whacked on the chin..i like this fight
i never suggested they ducked him. i said i cannot believe vitali would turn down the fight because of a coin toss. yes woo haye has smack talke, old news buddy. exactly people wanna see vitali vs haye, yet vitali is seemingly heading for a fight with briggs. haye has said he doesnt want harrison, he said he wanted vitali. but all i hear from k2 is that wlad is fighting povetkin, well what about vitali, why doesnt he fight haye? as i said it is nothing to do with ducking, doesnt stop it being fukin annoying tho. we all know vitali dont have long left, therefore he should fight haye asap
infact i clearly stated in that post that i do not think they are ducking haye, so what is your response all about?
While I would like Vitali to go in a different direction.. if (and thats a big IF) Briggs comes to fight in shape.. it could be entertaining for the first 4-5 rounds Still wish someone else in the WBC Top 10 would step up and take the fight
the last year of solis' career has been based around moving up the wbc rankings, so i dont see why he wouldnt want thios fight. i honestly see solis as the mst dangerous hw today, and would be surprised if anyone beat him. even wlad would have his work cut out keeping the tank at bay with his jab.
I was under the impression that they are still talking to many fighters but that shannon seems to be at the top All I heard was about "Valuev wants More money" and "solis seems to not be interested or answering" Not sure what that means.... maybe it will still happen:thumbsup Maybe Solis is waiting for Vitali to retire
