When have you actually seen Briggs or Adamek fights, They both obviously ranked quite high by most sanctoning bodies but neither has any TV exposer in the United States, so I just wondering what you base your prediction on.Originally posted by SacTown1I think niether guy is top 10 material and they should be ashamed that they're fighting for Glen Johnson's championship
I have however looked at their records and Briggs seems to have fought the far better opposition so he is probably the favorite. But I cant make a prediction since I have never actually seen either of them in action.Comment

No doubt, niether guy has gotten a ton of exposure, I've seen both though and I wasn't impressed, at least relative to Johnson, Tarver, Gonzalez, Griffin, Erdei, Woods, shoot even Hoye seems better than those 2....Originally posted by McKayWhen have you actually seen Briggs or Adamek fights, They both obviously ranked quite high by most sanctoning bodies but neither has any TV exposer in the United States, so I just wondering what you base your prediction on.

I'm more mad about the fact that Tarver got stripped for fighting the best possible opponent, that was a horrible political decisionComment

Like I said before, I would imagine that you felt the same distaste when in the late 1990s at light heavyweight paper champions were fighting for the real light heavyweight champion's belts that had been stripped much like what happened to Tarver and Johnson.Originally posted by SacTown1I think niether guy is top 10 material and they should be ashamed that they're fighting for Glen Johnson's championshipComment

you mean how Roy Jones collected 2 belts that Michelczewski dumped in the trash? Yeah, I definitely never considered Roy the true champ at 175 until his showdown with Tarver, where the 2 best in the division were throwing down.... I see your point brother, the same happened with Prince Naseem, he'd win a belt and dump it immediately, and other chumps would dig thru the garbage to get itOriginally posted by NeuraxisLike I said before, I would imagine that you felt the same distaste when in the late 1990s at light heavyweight paper champions were fighting for the real light heavyweight champion's belts that had been stripped much like what happened to Tarver and Johnson.Comment

I guess the word "stripped" got lost in translation. Stripped = dumped.Originally posted by SacTown1you mean how Roy Jones collected 2 belts that Michelczewski dumped in the trash?
