As much as the fight would stink, I was actually looking forward to Vitali vs Valuev. It intrigued me.
This is just gonna be man vs punch bag. The guy might have one big shot in him, but I don't think he'll ever get close enough to use it. He'll be jabbed followed by straight all night and within 6 rounds they'll break him down and just break him in general.
I like Briggs. So suck my balls. ;D
I agree with ICB, but I know this is right. He needed an opponent and had to find one. Briggs has some recognition anyway.Quote:

Shannon's past it, and should get creamed around rounds 6-8, but that guy can throw a punch when he shows up to fight. 45 kos in 51 fights is nasty any way you slice it.

Yeah if briggs lands a lucky one and gets a KO haye etc maybe haye will regret not selling his soul to fit the klit.
but as it stands this is just another easy fight against a guy who hasn't even earned it.
Just because of shit like this makes me feel that it's ok for haye to fight audley.
Whats good for the goose.....
This should be a great fight !!! Hell if briggs can beat rob calloway, dominique alexander, rafeal pedro, and marcus mcgee then vitali should be no problem. The best fighting the best is what i always say. man i hope it's on ppv, i'll probably even leave a tip. Hell after this fight i really think a rematch with dicky ryan would really prove who the best heavyweight is out there.
....So you're saying it's just like he's taking on a dangerous version of John Ruiz? ;DQuote:

Haye has barely established himself as a legitimate heavyweight, but his talk has already been demonstrated to be utter bullshit and he has zero credibility. He ran his mouth in order to make himself money and is now taking the easiest route possible, which is fine I guess, but he's got zero credibility, his big mouth has been completely shut ever since Klitschko offered him an incredibly fair deal, and even most of his "fans" have begun turning against him.Quote:

Your allowed your opinion. i don't have to agree with it though.....
maybe they will fight all comers, but the standard of what they're both fighting at the moment I would discribe as piss poor at best.
By all accounts they tried to set up fights with at least three fighters other than Peter and Briggs, all of whom avoided them. Haye - because he is a no-credibility shit-talker who appears to only be in the game to make as much money as easily as possible; Povetkin - because his own trainer didn't think he had a chance; and Valuev - because he demanded too much money (or so I have read).Quote:

Exactly. The Klits' choices are fight the likes of Briggs and Peter, or not fight at all. The other big name Heavies, including Haye, are the reason for that, because of the choices they made.Quote:

well if they want a fight with haye they need to stop writing shit loads of silly clauses into the contract.Quote:
