Shannon Briggs just made the biggest mistake of his career!!!

He abandoned trying to get the WK fight and instead signed with Don King, he is set to fight Sergei Lyakovich now. That wasn't the mistake ,signing with King was.

Saw it on fightnews

Don King is a snake, that is for damn sure. But why did he puss outta the Wlad Klit fight? He had a real shot at winnin, Wlad's chin is as bad or worse than his own.

I'm not so sure that he pussed out of the Klitschko fight, i mean it's been on the cards for a couple of months now, and in two months the bloody promoters still can't hammer out a deal? Shit, if that's the case then it probably wasn't going to happen. All parties thinking they should get a higher percentage of the dough yadda yadda yadda.

As for Liakovich, he's not been in the ring for a while. Maybe Briggs is hoping to catch him cold and KO him like all those bums he was fighting earlier in the year. Atthe end of the dya, he's getting on in years, and he has to take the fight that is most likely to land him a title, and to give him a shot at having plenty of time to get trained up

Cool Click. That makes sense and I hope you are right. The mere thought of someone Briggs or any top HW being scared of Wladimir Klitschko makes me wanna puke. Briggs has been fightin some bums that is for sure. Lyakovich has a hard ass head and takes a great shot. Briggs will have to go to the body or like you so catch him cold, getting full extension on his straight right hand to KO him. He better stop him too, cus at 270 I don't see Briggs goin the full 12 and winnin.

I don't either but at least he looks better at 270 then James Toney at 230

Shannon actually has a shot at beating Sergei...We all know Wlad would stomp a mudhole in his ass!

You know...it all looks & sounds "splendiferous" (as Don might say) on paper to start...but in the long run...with Don King...well...as Lyle used to say "You just got F'ed in the A!" ;D

King could get me a shot at the title....but what does that mean.....it wouldn't be good for boxing....maybe my pockets??? :)

Well it's better ONLY if Wlad gets to fight Maskaev or Valuev in the near future OR if the winner of Briggs-Lyakhovich decides to fight Wlad

I'm tired of all the HW champs trying to find any other to keep the title than fighting the other champs. I refuse to watch another HW champ until it is for a unification of some sort.
