Mercer and Liakovich and Foreman are the only great opponents.
Foreman was illegitimate though cause imo he beat Briggs.
Mercer was not top 10 at that time.
Leaving only Liakovich which I'm not sure what he was ranked at the time.
Therefore one can draw the conclusion that Briggs was never REALLY that good anyway.
His greatest LEGITIMATE achievement imo was dropping Lennox Lewis. A fight in which he was subsequently destroyed.
You could also say that a primer version of Briggs LOST to worse opponents than Leapai!
Nice observation Spicoli!
Even I gave Briggs more credit than he was worth lol
