Dude was 273 pounds and muscular as hell against Ibragimov. I always wondered..

I always wanted to see a David Tua vs. Shannon Briggs fight.

Yes. I noticed he had the unnatural, over-developed muscles that result from steroid use.

Briggs was done anyway. After Lewis, he mostly fought "barnyard" fights and lost to just about anyone who was known/and/or had a pulse.

In his prime he got whooped by a 49 year old semi-retired Foreman.

You want to talk robbery, Foreman was robbed.

Briggs did win like 11 or 12 fights in a row before losing a UD to Ibrabimov(sp?), when a HW does that in their mid 30's it is a bit rare even if they c class tomato cans.

I think there are many fighters in their 30's taking PED's who havent been caught.

That was one of the first fights I ever watched, back in Dec 97. I didn't know much about boxing back then, but I remember being puzzled about why they gave the decision to Briggs.
