=========what is up with the guy he's fighting next? he has the most softest record i've ever seen. Luciano Zolyone (22-0,21 ko's), impressive? look who he's beat, wtf! ========================

* Who the hell are you? Briggs is just staying busy as he increases his stock value. By taking a Puerto Rican bout in the off season he keeps his name in the media and has an opportunity to stand out in a venue that seldom features heavyweights.

You know nothing of the talent level of Zalyone, but he could be very dangerous. Maybe had he turned pro in the US with a big contract and big name trainer he could've been a champ. Like I say, who the hell are you?

this is a stay buissy fight I give him credit he just fough recently also, the guy certainly is trying to get back on top and he looks commited, there are talks of him and sam peter fighting prolly sometime in the spring now that would be a great fight and it will answer a lot of questions, eventhough i favor peter heavily briggs is not as good yet but hes working and he will continue to get better...

cut and paste if you have to.

this is a joke though. briggs aint going to make any kind of noise in the Heavyweight Division fighting guys with soft records like that. damn!!! he should quit wasting his time, and try and cash in on someone with a name as quick as possible. before it's too late for the second time around...

bull****t, why would it be to late the guy is only 33???

Scott Hirsch has been talking about taking Briggs to P.R. to fight Raphael Pedro.

**badblood** · 12-01-2005, 11:49 AM

But now it's offical, Briggs has signed to fight Luciano Zolyone in P.R. I guess Scott wasnt lieing.

Me, I'm the Deuce_Drop you jackalope, for starters. second, I'm all about fighters staying busy, but if you go by the opponents record, Briggs is basically fighting a guy who is in his first fight. damn near everyone he has fought has ZERO wins "0" and more than SIX "6" losses.
how can you say this guy would benefit Briggs. this opponent might shock everybody by making a good fight, it could happen, but Briggs should be fighting guys that are a climb up the ladder. Briggs could be fighting guys that have fought other guys that have winning records. all he's fighting when Briggs fights this guy is a club fighter at best.
if he wants to stay busy and keep his name in the news he should be fighting guys that have some what of a name, he should be fighting fringe contenders such as himself.
what's going to happen is he is going to be used to fighting these lower level fighters and he is going to lower HIS level of competition. so when it comes time to really step it up again, he isnt going to be properly prepared.
i like briggs, but fighting guys who fight bums, no bueno....
who am I? I'm your daddy Fignutz!
