Thread: What does Shannon Briggs have to do to earn a big payday fight?

Every so often you'll have a recently retired fighter jump back into the ring in the attempt to get one last run at the title. This is like Briggs' 3rd time doing this. Of course if they're young enough o make a comeback they fight young up and comers who aren't yet contenders, then they take a crack at the contenders, then they earn the title shot. In this case Briggs is fighting no hopers in the hopes that he can bypass the field and honestly he's just wasting his time.

Briggs should have stepped in with Wilder and taken his best shot. #1 It would have been a decent challenge for Wilder #2 Briggs could have earned a shot at the much easier to win WBC belt which would have meant a title shot AND a unification shot....but Briggs and his management team are a bunch of morons.

It's a bit like James Toney who wants big fights despite not doing anything for years, but then goes and turns down the oppertunity to fight Charr and Roy Jones JR. He's called out Eddie Chambers recently too which makes no sence for anyone. Going back to Briggs his best bet would be to fight Lepai and somehow get him out faster than Wlad did. It ain't gonna happen though.

I'm betting Tyson Fury would fight him

And wax him as well

I hear he does not have a good reputation in the boxing world, but that's like being the second biggest rat in the sewer.
