That's a good point Steve though iI'd sooner watch a Wilder bout, though I can appreciate Wlads skills and his strength very bout seems to be the same, there's little drama or spectacle.stevedoc wrote:Wlad is the real champion so gets paid his worth, no one thinks of deontay as a real championCutman Scabbers wrote:Is that even in the ball park for a heavyweight title fight?

Wilder v Briggs would be uncertain and most likely drama and incident filled. Briggs be Wlad would be a turkey shoot.
Re: Wilder Offered $2,000,000 For Briggs Fight
I'd rather see Briggs v Wilder than Deontay's last opponent. Sadly, this might be a dangerous fight for Wilder - his punch resistance looks worse than Wlad, more Price esq.

Re: Wilder Offered $2,000,000 For Briggs Fight
Briggs really must have some kind of deathwish, or be very delusional.
You would think that after the terrible beating he took from Vitali, he would have called it a day.
Hopefully this awful spectacle won't happen.

Re: Wilder Offered $2,000,000 For Briggs Fight
Totally agree; Vitali gave him a beating of a lifetime. I think he needs the £. Sad thing, he has a punchers chance (greater than should be expected) against Wilder.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Briggs really must have some kind of deathwish, or be very delusional.

Re: Wilder Offered $2,000,000 For Briggs Fight
Briggs wants money. He only wanted Wlad for the paycheck, knowing it would be his last big fight.
If they are willing to spend 2 million for Wilder, they must think they have a chance. They don't but sadly off the top of my head Briggs (even this current version) is a top five Wilder opponent.

If Wilder don't take the 2 mill to fight Briggs then he has Down syndrome. Briggs is so old that he farts dust and he has asthma. This fight would be a lay up. Briggs is a disgrace and had no business getting in the ring.

Briggs is still better that the joke opponent Wilder just faced.

If I were Wilder, I'd take the fight. Its very winnable and nets some serious change.
Re: Wilder Offered $2,000,000 For Briggs Fight
Are they really serious about this fight ?
I hope not.
