I'm definitely more fit than Briggs, but I would be one of those KO1 tomato cans that his record is littered with if we boxed.
If he's clean 100% and wants a cash out fight maybe he could be Richard Torrez's pro debut. He would provide plenty of noise to raise Torrez's profile, and Torrez could get a pass for fighting him being his debut and all.
I'd actually be interested in seeing a comeback fight vs someone like Szpilka. Should be 4 rounds max though
He’s been declined a license on numerous occasions over many years, there’s obvious underlying health issues that aren’t public. If he could’ve of fought, he would have.
Hey with 50 state commissions (plus a few reservations), Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Germany I'm sure some doctor could overlook anything! Of course you could diagnose him with disqualifying senescence by looking at his birth certificate. His career to date has clearly knocked a screw loose, maybe one more fight will knock it back into place. Make it a southpaw! Reverse stance equals reverse damage! I'm dreading the first time one of these very old combatants gets really injured/killed, it's inevitable the way these trends are going.
Why can't he havean exhibition like Tyson? I think he deserves alast fight along the lines of a memorial match in Rugby etc...he's paid his dues against Vitali in my book , as Vitali said in the ring to Briggs wife "He's To Brave"...
There's a man I know in a place I go, Tis' a room in a hospital ward, And it's said that he, Cannot ever break free, From the memories that he's stored, On his tortured brow, there's the hope somehow, That his pain won't prove never-ending, Then the tremors recur as the bad thoughts stir, As the screams from his mouth are heart-rending, Now it's often said, that the source of such dread, Must be trauma so great that it scarred, Not his mind but his soul, till his life long goal, Is to forget all that's left his mind marred, So I gave it a try and I spoke to the guy, Though his words were not clear as they ran on, For his fear seemed absurd when he uttered a word, From the sound that he made it was 'Shannon' For he'd once seen a vid now he couldnt get rid, Of the sight of a bedraggled tramp, Shouting loudly at all in a god awful drawl, Many times the words 'Let's go Champ' So whatever you do take these words unto you, Have a care be you veteran or noob, If it's boxing you love, just get out of their bruv, If you see Shannon Briggs on Youtube,
He's trying to get himself down to Cruiserweight and put himself in line for some of that Jake Paul money. Let's go Champ.
I just remember laughing my ass off when he knocked Vlad off his paddle board. Circling him, making waves until Vlad splashed down, yelling let's go champ.
