That's what makes it interesting... he is gonna talk himself into a big fight. And if it is a contender out there, he is going to make the fight very lucrative for that contender.
Briggs is all in... this may not be on the scale of George Foreman, but this is shaping up to be better than Tyson's second run.
I like Briggs. He's a nice guy with a deadly left hook and looks the part.
Still, he's KO'n bums on his run here and proving nada except he can still punch.
I don't know if Briggs in his FIRST run beats Tyson in his second run.
He woulda been scared shitless imo.
True, but one thing I've always said and respected about Briggs is that he doesn't claim that he's KOing champs, he knows he's just staying sharp. He has done this during his career, he fights a few bums when he has time between fights.
I respect the fact that he does that as opposed to Wlad who builds up fights with absolute shit fighters like Pianeta and tries to sell it as a huge event.
Briggs has things that every HW needs to win a title, a decent skill set, experience and a punch, aided by the ability to deliver a punch.
Hard to see many of the top 15 beating him IMO, I'm not shitting on Fury as he's starting to improve, but Fury doesn't seem like his power would hurt Briggs at all and if Briggs catches him it's curtains.
Same with Haye, I think Briggs could take Hayes best shot.
Wilder and Stivern as will.
