lol...the man is a bum forget him.
He has a punchers chance.
Just like he has a punchers chance against every single heavy out there. Everyone has a punchers chance in any fight.
The man has nothing to offer but 280 pounds of fat.
Him and Toney should fight'
"Fat Asses Unite!"
" James Toney Vs Shannon Briggs"
" Cheeseburgers Vs. Quarter Pounders"
Fucking million PPV sales easy.
Briggs does have asthma, and he got an asthma attack during the fight against Wilson. I dont know what u guys consider chin, but Briggs can get knocked down but he's never out of it, he kept getting up against Lewis and he was never seriously hurt
I dont think briggs chin is glass,,,,its not all that bad. his biggest problem is defense. he has no defensive ability at all and gets hit with everything. even 44 yr old ray mercer who was pianfully slow and shot,,,hit briggs at will in there fight. thats going to be a big problem for him when he meets a big puncher he doesnt take out quickly

that asthma excuse was bs as even teddy atlas mentioned. he wasnt seriously hurt against lewis? thats laughable,,,he was flattened. to his credit he did get up and showed heart but to say he was never seriously hurt is a joke
I dunno about you guys, but in the Koval fight Briggs looked like he'd put on quite abit of muscle, you could still see his abs a little, and some definition in his arms, shoulders, and chest too. He didn't look nearly as chisled as he did against Lewis, but he didn't really look like he'd put on 35 lbs. of nothing but fat either. That being said, I still think Wlad wins by KO if Briggs can't rush him early and land something big.
Pics of him years ago are around everywhere... If Briggs comes in lighter theres a good chance that he will hurt Wlad with a jab and finish him off with big left hooks. Wlad's chin is pitiful, if Brewster can hurt Wlad with a jab then Briggs can too, and Briggs is one hell of a finisher. A hurt Wlad is just like one of the C class fighters Briggs is used to knocking out.
problem is briggs doesnt have a good chin either. he was counted out flat on his back against light hitting darrol wilson. at least wlad hasnt been counted out lying on the mat. briggs was dominated my mcline who was thrashed by wlad. doesnt bode well for briggs
Briggs talked mad shit because he knew he wouldn't have to back it up. If they fought, Peter would KO him in 5.
probably although briggs would be the best fighter peter would have faced besides wlad. just goes to show how weak peter's opposition has been
I thought that it was not up yet.....when I go there it says nothing.
We are supposed to vote but all the council members stopped voting. I'll send a PM to BPP for you. :cool:
Oh and briggs did say that he wants to send Sam Peter's ass back to Africa. A person afraid of Peter wouldn't say something like that.

Since the McCline fight he is in better shape and is much more serious about boxing. He wants the title bad
no offense but you need to do some research, briggs is clearly not in better shape than he was against lewis. in fact he is in the worst shape of his careeer. since beating ray mercer he has weighed in at incrasingly higher weights for every fight
vs. scott- 253 pounds
vs. zolyone- 262 pounds
vs. ryan- 269 pounds
vs. koval- 273 pounds
he weighed 227 and 228 when he fought foreman and lewis
cmon man admit it, hes a fat, lazy, piece of crap, the numbers just dont lie

lol since when talking shit been an indication of bravery?
shannon briggs is a 275 pound fat ass, he may not land a single punch before he gets KO'ed
he has not gotten any better in the last 5 years that much is for sure
Well, he has looked spectacular fighting against a bunch of bums from North Dakota and Wisconsin. But I think that pretty much everyone in the Top 10 puts him on the canvas in a neck brace. Shannon Briggs fears Samuel Peter.

Zero heart!?!?! Have you not seen the Lewis fight? Have you not seen the Jameel McCline fight where he was in horrible shape with a back injury? He showed tremendous heart in those fights, and a glass jaw? He went 12 rounds with George Foreman! He took some big shots too. I do agree with the stamina problem, but to say the guy has no heart is outragious
No, I think having zero heart is a pretty fair estimation. He never really tried to win the McCline fight, and let him bully him around. I think he should have beaten McCline. Against Foreman, that was a Foreman that wasn't really a good offensive fighter anymore. Foreman had only one KO in the last few years of his career, and that was against Moorer. Briggs was winning the fight big against Lewis, then every tap had him flopping on the canvas. He also went down against McCline, that was odd. He was hyped up so big, then when he flopped in '95 on HBO, he was written off as talented, but unmotivated. He's having alot more fun in the NYC night life than fighting.
Briggs is a very talented, hard hitting heavyweight with lightning quick hands for a man his size. That said, he has almost zero heart, a glass jaw, and stamina comparable to a man who smokes 3 packs a day. Wladimir will blow him out in 2. This is a reply of the Derrick Jefferson debacle.
The terms of the deal are confirmed, only the venue and signatures need to be completed.
has shannon briggs indicated whether or not he plans on losing any of the 35 extra pounds hes packed on in the last couple years?
it actually is in the first few rounds. manny knows briggs well tho and will probably have a great fight plan for wlad to enable him to thwart any briggs attack. I think wlad will stop briggs but it may not be without a couple scary points in the fight
I dont think so, I tihnk Wlad takes him out rather easy...
