Thread: Wlad and Brock speak...BRIGGS THERE!!!

WK is the biggest money fight out there for Briggs or any other heavyweight for that matter.

Well, maybe Holyfeild could draw more money...

Briggs is garbage. He has no chance against Wlad. No chance. I don't care how weak Wlad's chin is. Briggs won't, can't beat him.

What do you mean, Lyle? Here is an excerpt from an interview with Steward:

On Briggs

Having recently been misquoted by saying Calvin Brock is an easier fight than Shannon Briggs, Steward shoots back with, "I never said that. I said it's much easier to prepare for a standard, good fighter than fight a guy like Shannon Briggs, who's a big kamikaze-type guy.

"As for Briggs, he knows he's not going to be in shape. He comes out and throws everything he's got for two or three rounds and then he says, 'If I don't knock you out, the hell with it.' And for any fighter, Whether it was (Muhammad) Ali, Joe Frazier or (George) Foreman, anyone, that's a dangerous type guy to fight for the first two or three rounds, including Lennox Lewis, as we found out. And that's when I said he was the most dangerous guy, because of his size and his style for the first two or three rounds.

That sounds a bit apprehensive to me.

Judging from Briggs last performance IMO, Wladdy would destroy Briggs inside of 5.

Briggs fought with his hands beside him all night, and showed nothing...

I'm well aware of what Manny said...he was just saying that they didn't take the easy way out by fighting Brock.

So Briggs has power.....oh I guess Wlad won't win because he can't take a punch

Well Briggs got the fuck beat out of him by Jameel McCline and I highly doubt he'll be EAGER to take Wlad's punches


Keep digging, I'm sure you'll find the TRUE reason Briggs didn't fight Wladimir and the reason is Don King!

King wanted his Apeman fighter to have the Garden and Finkle protected it for Wlad's fight and DK ended up not only losing out on the Garden but getting his guy KO'd!!!

I didn't think Rahman had any chance against Lewis either

Not really. I actually taught he did. As for the the rematch? Well let's just leave that alone.

At this point, it really wouldn't make much sense for Briggs to fight Klitschko. Why not milk the title for all it's worth and get some really stuuuuupid easy fights and ride some cash. I really can't say that, though.
Briggs showed up at the press conference and called Wladimir out. He tried to steal his thunder and catch a piece of the pie along the way. I conclude that he was moderately successful. If he wasn't, it would be a moot point and nobody would be talking about it. He certainly doesn't seem to riding a bicycle away from the Klitschko camp.
Briggs may nave not wanted the fight when it was offered, but I think his mouth is watering at the thought of it now. Win or lose, and in all probability he will lose, it's the biggest money maker of his life...fukin no brainer.

Don't get me wrong dude, Briggs is powerful but he's ALL TALK when it comes to this level of competition....I think even Lennox Lewis would give Wlad pointers on how to beat Briggs.

Shannon acts like he deserves respect but he hasn't earned it especially with such a crap fight vs Lyakhovich which I don't really think he won....I think the fight was over and Sergei then went through the ropes.


Wlad fought a LEGIT guy, Calvin is no slouch...sure he had a sparse resume but he was undefeated, he was a decent amateur and gave Wlad some trouble....and then Wlad KO'd him....good fighters work through that type of stuff whereas if anyone gives Shannon trouble he either quits and coasts the rest of the fight or he gets KO'd...Wlad NEVER gives up, he might get hurt, cut, or knocked down but you know he's going to get back up

Briggs: "I respect you too, brother. I'm off to my party and everyone's invited."

Hahaha

What did Kermit the Frog challenge Wladimir!
