Sam Peter vs Shannon Briggs on the horizon

[PBDS]

....That's a good intriguing fight IMO. I would favor Peter but who knows how his confidence will be after loosing to Wlad.

[Derranged_]

I'm liking this matchup because both guys are willing to step-up and take the hard fights rather than the safe ones that some current prospects seem to be doing.(Toney,Brock)

[phallus]

this will be a really good fight, but Briggs is old and gonna need all the boxing skills he can muster to beat Peter. Peter will likely knock his ass out somewhere in the middle of the fight, all that time off Briggs has taken will probably get him ****ed up in this fight

[dansweeney]

Peter by brutal kayo. the only heavyweight with enough skill to avoid peter's bombs all night is wlad. Briggs can be hit and can be knocked out.

[HipsterRan]

This is going to be the best fight of the year , if it happens !

Briggs has problems with Boxers , and Peter has **** boxing skills , I see this fight going the other way then most , Briggs has a much better chin the Wlad , Has about the same power , and Briggs is a big ****er ,Probably come to the fight around 260 , and lets not forget Brigg has much better Boxing skills the Peter !

So I see Briggs Getting the job done by MD !

If Briggs wasn't so muscular he would have the stamina to last against Peter. That being said, he will put up a good fight for about 4 rounds and then Peter will tko him in the 5th. I don't think i've ever seen Briggs in top shape.

yeah because last time I checked, skipping some bum to face Rahman for the WBC HW title or taking Bostice as a tuneup for the feather fisted David Tua is safe...

not saying Rahman is anything great, but what is so wrong about Toney skipping that one bum to face Rahman (who many claim feared Vitali's bone joints into retirement) for the WBC HW title?

or a young HW prospect like Brock keeping busy and setting up a surprising showdown with David Tua?

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

He didn't draw with Lewis that I know of. I thought Lewis had won that fight. It doesn't matter. You're right, a prime Mercer would have beaten Briggs. Briggs will stand in there and trade punches but he would be doing it against the wrong guy.

briggs is overhyped with a padded record. hes had two great moments:

1. he wins a bull**** decision over foreman (a decision briggs was suprised to recieve).
2. he KOd an ancient rey mercer, whoop dee doo.

if briggs goes in against peter, peter will destroy him.

Agreed! I think the same. I don't think it would be much of a fight.
