name the people that would have beat briggs tonight..

[juggernautburn]

i didn't watch the fight but i didn't expect much from briggs or ibragimov for that matter. this wasn't a fight that captivated me too much, especially after the debacle of sergei and briggs. i honestly think sergei can come back and take the title, because who know what the **** happened with him and briggs. you don't just have a war with a heavyweight champion and then lose to briggs, it doesn't make sense. but name the people you think could have beat briggs tonight. i think i could beat briggs for ****s sake. lol, if i fought briggs tonight, i'd be the heavyweight champion.

As I said weeks ago on another thread, Briggs is not even a top 25 heavyweight. He has 2 career wins against boxers rated in the top 50, according to the IBO website's boxing statistics: Foreman (doubtful) and Lyakhovich.

Briggs has built up his number of KOs and impressive winning record by fighting clubfighters, no tough journeymen/fringe contenders like Barrett, Bostice and Guinn, just clubfighters! When he did fight a tough journeyman, Jameel McCline, he lost.

At least 50 heavyweights, anybody from Barrett to Klitschko would beat Briggs. He wouldn't land a punch against a fast moving skill fighter like Chambers, and he'd likely get KOed by Arreola. Sam Peter would KO him early.

James Toney would have embarrassed him. He looked awful. Usually his punches are pretty fast for his size. Tonight he looked really slow.

Toney is short, round and would have gotten KTFO...

next to Briggs, he would have looked tiny... Keep in mind that Toney is 4 inches shorter than IBRAGIMOV, who looked tiny next to Briggs.

Briggs is a huge mofo with good speed/power...
Toney is OLD!


BTW, name a top 25 HW that Toney beat

manny pacquiao

Toney's not a natural heavy weight though, dk if he could beat briggs

[Famoso Matador]

briggs looked like a heavy bag with legs. Anyone with any kind of consistent head movement would beat him.
