Sam Peter vs Shannon Briggs on the horizon

[Leo Pradun]

Peter Responds to Briggs
The support team of heavyweight contender Samuel “The Nigerian Nightmare” Peter say their fighter would be happy to grant Shannon Briggs’ wish for a showdown. “It’s a great fight for Samuel. Tell Shannon that Samuel is fighting on December 15 (vs. Robert Hawkins at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida) and then he’s going back home to visit Africa,” says manager Ivaylo Gotzev. “But after that, he would love to come back and fight him…if he seriously wants to get in the ring with Samuel.” Peter, 24-1 (21 KOs), is coming off his first defeat, a 12-round decision loss to Wladimir Klitschko in September in which he scored three knockdowns. “We could make this happen as early as next spring,” added Gotzev. “Any time Mr. Briggs wants to take that step up, we’ll make sure his wish is granted.” Peter’s camp was responding a ********* story last week in which the comebacking Briggs said that contenders David Tua and Calvin Brock were “afraid,” to face him and expressed the hope that Peter would be willing to fight. “I'm sure we can get the TV networks to buy a Briggs-Peter match,” adds promoter Dino Duva of Duva Boxing. “It would be a great crossroads fight for both guys, a real fan-interest type of fight. I will do everything I can to accommodate Shannon and end his career once and for all. I think Madison Square Garden would be an appropriate place for that, don't you?”

I think this would a great fight, Peter looking to bounce back from the Klitschko loss and get right back in to the hw mix and Briggs is on a comeback knocking bums out and also trying to get back on top, great fight.....

Should be a goood one.

I lean towards Peter, becuase he has more chin and Briggs can be hurt, but if Briggs gets his jab going he could outwork Peter over a dull 10 rounds to a decision.

I'll put my money on Peter. Kinda. He's gonna be able to take a punch, we've all learned that. Should make for a good fight.

Either one of these fighters could KO the 4 chumps, though Byrd would make it tricky.

Haven't seen Briggs in his comeback, but he's a big boy, bigger than ever and might hit harder than Wlad. He's never faced the kind of power and strength Peter's gonna bring except with Foreman or Lewis, and Foreman was holding back a bit on really going after Briggs.

I'd like the winner to KO Rahman's lardass since Rahman ain't gonna want to face Maeskav.

I think Shannaon Briggs would be beat and beat badly. Briggs won't be fighting Ray Mercer or Brian Scott. He is going to step up into a whole different league with the Nigtmare. Ray Mercer hits hard but he don't hit no where near as hard as Peter. Peter can take a good punch and give one out.

the prime Mercer would have beaten Briggs brutally, Im talking about the Mercer that beat Morrsion to a pulp and drew with Lennox Lewis.....
