A few weeks ago, former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs accused David Haye of dragging his feet on finalizing a deal that would see them fight in the fall. Haye (28-2, 26KOs) and Briggs (60-6-1, 53KOs) were both in action on May 21 at the O2 Arena in London, when they picked up easy knockout wins against overmatched opponents. The show as used a tool to hype up a Haye-Briggs showdown for the fall. Click Here To Read More]
People can say what they want about Briggs, but even the 2016 version would demolish De Mori and Gjergjaj. So yes, he would be a step up for Haye. I'd like to see Briggs fight Tarver, Kauffman or Arreola. Haye don't want it, too dangerous a fight. Let's go Champ!!!
Haye is a clown. Have literally no respect for him. Hes barely done anything at Heavyweight yet thinks all roads should lead to him and thinks he's soooo much better then Briggs yet Briggs would be one of the best wins on his resume :lol1:
Hopefully Briggs can pull some kind of decent name to fight him. I mean damn, even Arreola would be good at this point. If he could beat him he might actually be able to pull in top 15 guy next.
Briggs loses to everyone in the top 15 except parker, who he kos
Loses to Takam but KO's Parker, eh?
Styles make fights would be a good cover for this troll-job.
Regardless of what you think of Briggs, Haye needs to honour his word.
Why is he di**ing him around.
Hayes last two fights were a joke so he obviously doesn't care about credibility.
If I remember correctly, it was 1) fight one my undercard and 2) pass some medical exam? (?)
He did both so Haye is a cunt.
Shannon Briggs is boxings version of the two black clowns Al Sharpy Sharpton and Jesse the jack azz jackson just someone to laugh at and ignore. That;s all that collection of misfits is relegated to is ridicule scorn and laughter and guffaws. Briggs is worthless and crazy just like the other two misfits.
Briggs is awesome and harmless man. He will spice up the heavyweight division at least for one night if any of these guys ever fight him. Win or lose we will all tune in with intrigue. Sharpton harms the world with his lies. Briggs does no such thing that I am aware of. I like his enthusiasm and funny antics.
Ridiculous. Shannon Briggs hasn't fought anyone above scrub level in 6 years. His last semi-notable win was what..the corpse of Ray Mercer in 2005?
Briggs could probably hang with some Top 15 guys, but you're off your bloody rocker if you think he could KO Parker. Parker would smack the grey out of his beard for as long as he felt like tormenting Briggs.
Haye doesn't want to mess around with Briggs because Briggs is completely and utterly irrelevant in todays boxing scene. The only reason people even remember who the hell Briggs is, is because he's like a bad smell that just refuses to go away. I credit him for marketing himself, potentially into a cash-grab farewell fight - but damn, he's not worth a thing in serious circles.
To be fair he is totally mental, he thinks anthony juichua is the best heavyweight of all times after he beat up a couple of failed NFL fatties :lol1:

People dont want to admit it but Briggs beats out some top 15 guys , he beats Hughie , Takam , Washington, Miller , Kassi, Mansour , and Stiverne in all likely hood . And honestly wouldn't be shocked in the least bit if he knocked out Parker judging by his last two fights . Briggs still has power , speed and is in great shape , a product of the 90's who currently i would favor over many top guys thats why Haye wont fight him ,he doesnt want to risk a Briggs loss bc anyone that loses to him will be sent packing bc hes 44 but beyond age hes a legit threat.

Dog act by Haye, what's he afraid of Briggs was up for the challenge what gives?! To hell with it let's go champ! Briggs can't and won't stop until he gets his big fight and payday!
