BRIGGS: “Rahman was the last line of defense. Now I am the first line of offense."

[Kid Achilles]

Funny that historically the first line of offense often consisted of undesirables sent off to be sacrificed to reserve the better warriors behind them.

Briggs is pretty much shot. He's gonna' come out gunnin', which will be interesting for a few rounds and that's it. Then it's business as usual, you know, a guy with stamina and decent skills simply pickin' his shots until the "cannon" can't fire back.

then why hasnt briggs ever stopped a top 20 guy in his life?

And so history repeats itself....

...Although one wonders where these "better warriors" are...

[Kid Achilles]

I can name one, he and he was beaten by Sergei already.

Well hell if we're talking about Briggs, even Rahman is better.

Toney can beat some of the guys out there, but Wlad would eat him up and I think he would be ineffective vs. Valuev. He'd beat Maskaev though.

If Briggs, Brewster, Rahman and Toney are the best the US has to offer, then the "line of offense" just became the "line of tomato cans"...

Enough with this American heros ****. Just let boxers be boxers. I dont care where they came from if they are exciting i will watch.

Its tough enough to decide who to root for out of all these generic boxers that are completely unadvertised and basically unknown. If people are going to use patriotism as a reason, I think that thats as a good as any to choose one boxer over another.
