Shanon Briggs last title run- teetering on EPIC!

[ykdadamaja]

Can you be anymore impressed with this little run? Canon fodder, then mid-level titlists and then eliminators after this- and after that, he is ranked and people have to pay attention to him as he still is exciting to watch.

More than 2/3rds of the guys in the top 15 of the HW division would make more money sparring Briggs than they would make fighting each other at this stage.

Let the Big Man through.... this is the last and final Shanon Briggs run. And it's looking god.

It's hard to care about a guy who hasn't actually fought one hard round in over a decade. He's a character and he can still punch, so he might get another big fight. Would be more interesting to see him as a test for some up and comers at this point, but he probably has no interest in fighting a live body unless he gets paid.

That's what makes it interesting... he is gonna talk himself into a big fight. And if it is a contender out there, he is going to make the fight very lucrative for that contender.

Briggs is all in... this may not be on the scale of George Foreman, but this is shaping up to be better than Tyson's second run.

If Briggs fought anyone as good as Danny Williams was he'd probably get stopped as well. I'd be interested in seeing him fight Wilder, or Tyson Fury, someone like that, but I'd fully expect him to get clobbered as much as I doubt those two. This isn't like Haye talking his way into a title fight, Briggs is old as shit and he has no output, that's why he fights clowns. He would needs to show some kind of form against a capable guy to make a fight with Wlad anything but a farce.

I like Briggs. He's a nice guy with a deadly left hook and looks the part.


Still, he's KO'n bums on his run here and proving nada except he can still punch.


I don't know if Briggs in his FIRST run beats Tyson in his second run.


He woulda been scared shitless imo.

I think Big George Foreman in his second run beat Briggs in his first run.

Briggs got the decision, but he didn't win that fight.

True, but one thing I've always said and respected about Briggs is that he doesn't claim that he's KOing champs, he knows he's just staying sharp. He has done this during his career, he fights a few bums when he has time between fights.

I respect the fact that he does that as opposed to Wlad who builds up fights with absolute shit fighters like Pianeta and tries to sell it as a huge event.


Briggs has things that every HW needs to win a title, a decent skill set, experience and a punch, aided by the ability to deliver a punch.

Hard to see many of the top 15 beating him IMO, I'm not shitting on Fury as he's starting to improve, but Fury doesn't seem like his power would hurt Briggs at all and if Briggs catches him it's curtains.

Same with Haye, I think Briggs could take Hayes best shot.

Wilder and Stivern as will.

This right here... we wrote off Foreman on his second run too. This is Briggs time to make some waves, weed out some pretenders and fringe guys, and put this HW house back in order.

His body looks good, but it's all illusion as he's got literally nothing left as a World-Class fighter, and this whole thing is just one big sham-show.

Hey, dude needs the money after blowing through his fortune, so if he can trade on his name and talk his way into a big money fight, and if the fans are willing to pay for this farcical nonsense, then hey, more power to him, that's capitalist society.
