hey he is legitimitly ill. lol. its not like he is ducking him or anything

Not but when you have to postpone the fight it's bad timing to be saying **** like "I shouldn't have to fight him anyway". As for Shannon complaining about what Sultan did to deserve his shot, what about what did Briggs do to deserve his shot at Lyak? His greatest win in recent memory was over a completely shot Mercer. Briggs needs to just shut up, train hard, and let his fists do the talking.

were u an ali fan???

[Kid Achilles]

Yeah but Ali talked and then went out and got results. Briggs does not have the record to be doing that kind of talk, not with the guys he's lost to, and the ****ty showings he's had.

i agree...i think there should be a balance between talk and action. While i will admitt he talks to much i do think boxers shoul;d tak more.
