Comments Thread For: Briggs: Paul Has Money, He's White; Could Be Heavyweight Champ

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Shannon Briggs understandably has taken a lot of flak for predicting Logan Paul could become a heavyweight champion within five years. The 24-year-old Paul, a social media star, has one amateur boxing match on his resume. That six-round bout was contested at cruiserweight, versus another completely inexperienced opponent, and it resulted in a majority draw.

What Briggs really means is that you have to be white and GOOD LOOKING. Sorry about that dog.

Boy, we're going downhill faster and further than I thought ..

Being white isn’t a great advantage in boxing...

Funnily enough, I know nothing about Logan Paul, but I did see a clip of him wincing when taking shots off Ryan Garcia. Probably not the stuff a future heavyweight champion is made of.

Still, it’s just Briggs being bombastic and selling the fight. That’s what he’s there to do - let’s go champ yadda yadda yadda.

Briggs got too much damage in Klitschko fight... Too much!

I know Briggs means he would use the money for training and such but it ALMOST sounds like he's insinuating he could just buy a belt. I mean in this day and age with the WBC the way they roll anything is possible.

How many successful boxers are there who were well off before boxing? Seems the most successful came up hard or poor which helped give them the drive to want more and to do and be better.

I mean AJ showed us what all the money in the world plus a greek god like body gets you in boxing if you don't have what it takes mentally and other undefinable, unbuyable qualities most top champions have shared throughout the years.
