Briggs is just totally finished, but is trying to talk his way into a big money fight because he needs the bread.

Funny, on espn classic just a few hours ago, I was watching Lennox Lewis easily dispatch a prime Shannon Briggs with no trouble at all. Quite amazing really. Briggs is such a large, menacing, muscular, intimidating guy, but that mindgame won't work on a seasoned Champion like Lennox. Skills was in a totally different ballpark. Lennox didn't have a mark on his face, and Briggs really took a $#!t-kicking there.
Yes Lennox easily dispatched him except for the part where he was almost knocked out himself.

Briggs always had a tremendous left hook.

It's too bad his movie career fizzled n never took off after Transpoter 2. He is a scary looking dude. Too nice in the ring tho n a lil timid at times.
