Old school boxers fought once a week against bunch of Shannon Briggs' opponents

Here's a brain scratcher...name on one hand the number of top ten 'opponents' Briggs legitimately beat

Easy. Liakhovich. Not only was he a top 10er, but he was the WBO champion fresh off his spectacular victory over Lamon Brewster. Wow what a war that was.

Briggs scored one of the greatrest come-from-behind KO over Liakhovich to become the last, great American HW champion.

Yeah that was good of Briggs. He is still a great fighter and champion boxer but as you said, come from behind victory. It's just as likely Liakovich could have won a rematch with Briggs.

A shock KO like that is not as convincing to me of greatness than out-boxing an opponent thoroughly and scoring the KO win.

Prime Briggs would have been a good opponent for Wladimir but I don't think he brings anything much more to the table that LEapai does.

Ding ding And we only needed one finger, probably the one Wlad is giving Briggs. That's the one chief.

Briggs and 'great' never frequented the same room or the same comic book convention. Lets just keep it level. He has stretched those 15 minutes to absurdity and sponsored more cans than a soup kitchen.
