Shannon Briggs perhaps?

He's not THAT bad. His style is not pretty but it is effective.
And he did beat Gatti and Judah fair and square.
He would beat "Contender" Gomez just as easily as he beat Gatti.
Save the bull****, Diego.Comment

Briggs was pretty bad during his reign.
He was desperately behind on the cards when he caught Lyakhovich with one of the 15 punchers he threw, and then he got almost shut out in his first defense.
Not really impressive when it comes to champions.Comment

That wasn't his first title though, was it?Originally posted by DWiens421 View Post
I'm not sure....something that I might check out.
He was pretty impressive right around when he fought Lewis, IMO. Big and agile for his size. Good boxing skills.Comment

It was his first title.Originally posted by JoeyBB View Post
He had a good moment in round 1 against Lewis... mostly because he POUNDED him on the back of the head a few times. Then Lewis outboxed him for a couple of rounds. Then he decided that he was going to kill/murder Briggs and knock him unconscious.Comment

Yeah but he is old, ill and asthmatic, like 40 pounds heavier than in his prime. Lyakhovich should be the one criticized.
Briggs still put on a counter punching clinic in the last round against Lyakhovich.
Too bad Briggs doesn't have enough stamina to throw even 100 punches per fight.
Briggs won the 'linear' title from Foreman (controversial fight) but that was his first alphabet belt.Comment

Baldomir is easily the worst lineal champion of all-time. The man is a bum.Comment
