    Holes in that though, as he easily could have lost to ancient Foreman and didn't do any better against him than Axel Schulz of all people just had prior, then the fight with Liakovich was dreadful until the very end and wasn't in that era or a better one. Shame Browne was taking PEDs or is a moron though, I think that was an interesting and even fight that would have told us where Briggs stands. The current landscape is actually as good as it's been in many years imo, fights just aren't being made.

    I feel it has improved but I feel that the fighters are all beatable with one punch.

    Not too many Solid chins in there and I feel Briggs can make an impact.

    Hard to talk about fighters records and stuff as all fighters pad their record to get to world title fights. Foreman didn't have too many names in his first 38 fights leading up to Fraizer.

    Peralta, Chavulo, Johnson about the only ones.


    I just wanna see Briggs against a Wilder, Haye, Browne or Ortiz because I think he can put in a decent showing.
    You say tomato,
    ‘n I say …… it correctly.

    Nothing wrong with that, Browne is a lot less talented than the other 3 so that would have been a safer bet for sure. All fighters pad their record to some extent yeah, but I always had the impression Briggs had done more than he really has, giving Lennox an early scare might well be his best showing all things considered. I'm sure he under achieved and hope he does still have enough to go out with a good win, just being honest here.

    A very fair appraisal the more I think about it.He hasn't done all that much for the talent and size he has.

    Briggs was limited at his best and will be worse as he is older. The division is poor which is why Briggs is still relevant.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    In 24 years and 67 professional fights Briggs holds exactly 1 legitimate win over a top ten ranked heavyweight, in a fight he was losing. Watched him from pro debut and while always likable, in top form and very marketable he's been milking the point where imagination and celebrity has out run the substance for years now.

    I always thought of him years ago as a very good fighter but never heard about him for years.

    Then thought he was just some clown in his chasing of Klitchko and Haye. (Kinda of ironic as that is how Haye landed Klitchko fight.) and recent fights were pathetic.

    Glad I watched this as he sees like a great guy. Mental issues for sure but I think he'll be the first to say so.

    God knows I can't talk.

    I really like the guy.

    Lets Go Champ!

    Looks like a fetus in below link.
