So Shannon Briggs is back....again

[El Kabong]

Unfortunately, I don't give Briggs much of a chance against anyone who moves or has defense. But then again, Ray Austin got kayoed with a jab. Say what you want about Briggs, but I really think he probably has the hardest straight right in the HW division.

#1 When did Austin get KO'd by a jab?

#2 Briggs does not have the hardest right cross in the division...even with 280 pounds behind it

Am I confusing Austin for somebody else? Didn't he fight Wlad and get hit by a dozen jabs and go down?

I know it isn't quantifiable, but his right cross is definitely a game changer. Look at what Briggs did to Liakhovich who was winning handily (even though Brigg's counter hook got his attention). One pop in the 12th and Sergei was on queer street. One more and he was looking at the crowd upside down through the ropes. When it comes to a SINGLE punch, I say Briggs is up there. But a series of punches, nah.

Briggs is a four round fighter even at his best. He completely changes after that. He goes from power punching beast to feather fisted boxer. Quite strange really, but if he can manage to get himself into decent shape he might make a four round exciting fight for either Klitschko.

He looked terrible in his last fight plodding along and I heard he lost around 80 pounds for it.
