    Good call. I could see a sloth making a cup of tea by the time one of Briggs' punches got close.

    Considering Briggs is old as ****, he'd probably appreciate a cuppa.

      No its not.

      Briggs hasn't fought a live opponent since 2010. And he lost that fight. He hasn't actually beaten a live opponent since 2006.

      The WBA proves their corruption or incompetence for making this a title fight & for having Briggs in position in their rankings to be involved in a title fight at all with his recent highly lackluster accomplishments.

      And thats not to say Briggs can't win cuz these are HW's & HW's can hit, but if this does turn out to be a competitive fight its not cuz it looked competitive going in cuz no one even knows what Briggs is capable of vs a respectable opponent let alone a top ten one cuz its been so long since he's fought a respectable or better opponent.

          You can't win a title that was vacant lol, Foreman vacated all of his titles in 95, no way he was still champ in 97

              It's in negotiations but there is 60% chance it will get finalized

                He didn't vacate his titles because he retired. It was due to sanctioning body politics.

                Similar to how Canelo vacates his WBC belt but is still the lineal champion.

                A sanctioning body belt has no effect on a lineal title. You can only lose a lineal title in the ring or through retirement. Foreman didn't lose it in the ring or retire.

                  Power - Briggs 8/10 - Browne 8/10
                  Speed - Briggs 5/10 - Browne 4/10
                  Skill - Briggs 6/10 - Browne 2/10
                  Chin - Briggs 8/10 - Browne 6/10
                  Stamina - Briggs 4/10 - Browne 6/10

                  Briggs quits on his stool in the 8th.
