    Shannon Briggs had talent, but he lost to guys 'At his peak, who well who where they exactly?'.

    Note: Only really Mike Tyson in his rematch with Bruno, blasted him out.
    Tyson had Bruno's number in spades

      I bet alot of you are young because somebody like Paulie is an overachiever in his field. For a guy who cant punch holes through wet paper bags, he accomplished alot in the ring and made loads of money. In the ring and on the mic, he was the real good.

      Watch the Cotto fight and label him a C level fighter lmfao

        I have seen the Cotto fight and it was a beating, very tough guy for sure but we can't give him extra credit because he can't punch his way through a piss soaked sheet of toilet paper.

        He's a C level fighter, if he had more power who knows but he didn't.

            C+ - B-.

            My favorite fight build of his was vs Adrien Broner.

              Grading him as a world champion I gave him a C. He was not a strong champion at either 140 or 147. He was better at 140 because his lack of punching power was not as bad as it was at 147.

                Probably a C. One of my favourite guys in the game.

                  He did pretty good for a guy with feather fists. Let me chronicle it: a stud on espn, going the distance with Cotto, not getting Kayode by Hatton, beating Juan Diaz, being poster boy for everlast gloves, given a contract for being an announcer, and playing little mac in the commercial for the game called "punch out"

                  Some stuff he did wrong: saying his piece on live tv got him fired, getting a haircut mid fight, and being Pacquiao s number one enemy. The bare knuckle boxing was just for fun.

                    C, he was not a very good fighter, lost all of his big fights, really his biggest thing was his durability and how far he got with zero power

                      True, Mike also had Michael Spinks beat before Spinks even stepped into the ring.
