        exciting maybe but a beast? tyson also beat holmes, spinks, berbick, tucker, williams, thomas, ruddock, bonecrusher, etc...hence he was a beast because he beat top fighters but briggs only knocked over tomato cans and lost every time he stepped up. that's not beastly to me. just kinda sad.

          you got a point but im not taking anything away from the guy dont get me wrong i wasn't comparing him to tyson or anything, his record may not be hof but he was a good fighter

            But yes Vitali did retire him even though Briggs came out of retirement to fight him in the first place.
            I hadn't heard that before...very interesting.
