    I think people might not be giving Briggs a chance over Brewster even though the other champs are better boxers is that Brewster two main skills are taylor made to defeat Briggs. Brewster as we all know can take an insane amount of punishment and keep going, Briggs can deliver shots indeed, and Brewster will walk his opponents down and when they get tired from him taking their punches and Brewster punching back, they eventually fall. Briggs can be susceptible to fatigue and that would fall into Brewster's gameplan. It's not that he is a better boxer, but his skills or lack-there-of are best suited to beat Briggs. Just my point of view though.

        If you all havent noticed, midwestern promoter and former HW bum Stacy Goodson has fed Briggs his last 2 fights. Scott Hirsch bought JD Chapman's contract out and Goodson said if you cant beat 'em join 'em and sold his trailer and bought into Scott's campaign, so now you got **** bag Stacy Goodson and a rich boxing fan that sells condo's (Scott Hirsch) running both of their career's. So when you say Shannon Briggs people that's who you are talking about.

          Why do you think Hirch is a jackass? If anyone's a jackass here it's you for that statement. Now Stacy isn't the most repretible promoter, but Hirsch is a rich man who loves boxing and is taking care of his fighters. How many managers you know of set up pension plans for their fighters? He is serious about putting his fighters first. I will say this about Goodson, his cards are getting better, and in time he might produce a very quality product. His fighters are **** though.

            All anyone needs to see is that Lennox Lewis video that was posted on here a few days back. In that video Lewis put's an enormous beatdown to Briggs. As soon as Briggs fight's someone with a bit of skill he will go down like he did against Lewis and McCline.

              If guys like Ruiz & Bird can become champions, then Briggs can also. But I hope not! I don't see Briggs beating the top 5 heavyweights.
