I know thats why Fres is getting his shot, but thats mfing insane lol. Can you imagine a athlete in any other sport suing his way to compete at the Olympics, Superbowl, World Series or whatever event that represents the pinncale of any particular sport. This dumb sh^t only seems to happen in boxing.

Oquendo won't have fought for 3 years by the time the fight happens, this is so weird, Briggs is 45, Oquendo is 43 fighting for a belt. Have people checked to see if Fres even wants to fight?!Comment

Briggs should take this pretty easily. He is in the gym almost every day, and Fres hasn't fought in three years.
Having this belt would give Shannon the chance to fight the winner of Klitschko vs. Joshua. How the hell he wins that fight I have no idea. He would have to land the luckiest punch in boxing history to capture those titles and upset George Foreman's record.Comment

Last I checked, Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Rid**** Bowe, Lennox Lewis, etc. all held the WBA world heavyweight championship.
None of them held the WBA super heavyweight championship.
If the WBC diamond championship is not a world championship, you could easily make the case that the WBA super championship isn't either.
No matter how you slice it, Briggs and Oquendo are fighting for the oldest version of the heavyweight championship of the world. Yes it's ****ed up and thankfully the WBA is finally getting rid of their super championships.
But when the Briggs/Oquendo winner fights the Joshua/Klitschko winner, it is the Briggs/Oquendo championship that will continue to live on forever. The Joshua/Klitschko championship is the one the WBA is getting rid of.Comment
