Wonder who he will chose
I sincerely hope Wlad does not 'fight' Briggs. The division is already a spectacle and it needs to get down to sorting itself out with fighters who have careers in front of them..not collecting dust. Don't go backwards with some cartoon character who's last and only career 'win' vs. a top 10 fighter came oddly enough eight years ago today.
"I'm the most colorful fighter since Muhammad Ali" Don't fall for this conman
and wlads possible opponents are that much better than briggs? NOT. leapai was a joke, arreola is a glorified journeyman, pulev fought like an idiot, stiverne aint beat anyone good, neither has wilder...so yeah, briggs is as good as any of these guys. dont forget briggs lost 100 lbs and has his asthma in control now. i say briggs has a good shot for an upset. dont forget wlads weak ass chin.
Briggs is older now but he is skillful and powerful.
Honestly I am much more excited by Briggs v Klitschko than anyone else vs Klitschko.
You say tomato,
‘n I say …… it correctly.
Briggs is completely shot now, pretty much on the level of Leapai.
Steroids and experience can conpensate for some but father time has caught up with him. He has not the speed or reactions to compete with ANY top 10 HW let alone Wladimir.
On a SERIOUS note. Briggs is totally brain damaged from the beatings he has took. A fight with Wladimir will leave him either dead or in a nursing home with pugilistic dementia.
Nobody wants to see Wladimir put Briggs into disablement.
Briggs should have his license revoked and Wlad should be boycotted from ever taking this fiight!
Briggs knows there is no ranked opponent today he could beat to earn his shot, hence the theatrics.
Truth is Briggs would be clowned or KOed by any decent HW today.
Just look to his promotional video. He does not look sharp at all and has very limited fludity now.
People forget that Briggs was NEVER very good! Bottom of the best 10 of the 90's at best!

briggs is old and senile. i really hope that fight doesnt happen. he doesnt deserve it. let somebody who hasnt had their time to shine get a chance.
Hopefully the Jennings fight comes off.
Wlad unfortunately does not have the credibility to take on these no hopers, who would kick bite and scratch him.
Serious chance of an injury for Wlad here
He would certainly win, but will never agree to fight Briggs, this is not Rocky IV
He will take 4-5 more fights and retire.
Briggs has carefully crafted this comeback....
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

BoxingScene is of the opinion that the Briggs/Wladimir stuff is staged.
It certainly seems plausible since no way can the scenarios come off THAT funny, especially the water one LOL.
But I think Briggs's brain cells were badly reduced by Vitali.
He should have his licences revoked by every boxing council.
Muhammad Ali made himself a punch bag and look at him now.
I wouldn't wish that on Briggs too!

Briggs is a very good specimen and durable. I don't see him being hurt for life from Wlad. He may take a beating, but I feel he knows just enough to absorb the punches well and/or quit during or after the fight if he sees he has to.
Some people, like B-Hop, and apparently Briggs, are very good specimens. Unlike Chavez Sr., who was a great champion, but when the 90's happened, he was a shot fighter compared to the younger guys.
Foreman too was/is a great specimen, even the fat 90's Foreman was good money!

It should be Jennings, the winner of Wilder/Stiverne, Tyson fury then ...
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
LMFAO at people pumping up Briggs as a candidate.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...... same old carrousel ride when it comes to upcoming Wlad opponents.
- Dead body gets identified as next Wlad opponent
- Initial uproar ensues as to how this opponent could possibly be getting a shot
- When reality sets in, people begin finding reasons why opponent is somehow worthy and possibility of major upset
- Opponent proceeds to stink up ring
Wlad will retire undefeated, unscathed, and relieved that he never had to face a real opponent.
You cannot compare older Briggs to older B-Hop OR Foreman!
B-Hop was still a first class fighter into advanced age!
Old Foreman was very intelligent fighter and used what resources he had cunningly.
Briggs' physical presence is manufactured by one of the largest steroid overdoses known in sports history, he doesn't have any talent or intelligence in his fight plans evident whatsoever as can be seen from his fights and training. Foreman and B-Hop were world class fighters in their 40's! Briggs is a pure bum beater now!
Briggs was always JUST a slugger, he was never a technical giant!
The best achievements Briggs ever scored was...
- Losing a fight to Foreman, and then getting a rip off gift decision for his first title.
- Roughing up the lazy Lennox for a bit before getting knocked out.
- Getting a boxing lesson from sickly champion Liakhovich until he pulled a punch out of his ass in the last round to win the 2nd title.
The ONLY reason for these theatrics to get a fight with Wlad is because he wants a big pay day to check out of boxing, but he knows he cannot beat any relevant fighter to earn his shot! Pure and simple.
