Good contrasting matchup, On the surface the specter of Briggs blasting Moorer out early is prevalent. However Moorer is the far better overall fighter and if he can land his jab and control pace and distance he could take a unanimous decision . Probably 50/50
Moorer should be the guy getting his arm raised, but Shannon could be danger. Moorer has to try to refrain from getting dragged toe to toe with the cannon, other wise it may be Foreman all over again.
If Moorer makes it out of the first 4 rounds, I think he wins this. But, I am not in the least bit confident he makes it that far.
Moorer outboxes him but if he tries to slug it out and bang with him Briggs stops him. Moorer tended to do dumb things.
Moorer was a better fighter than Briggs but susceptible to being tagged, one or two scares aside, i think he survives to outbox Briggs and possibly stop him mid flight, not overly confident though...
Shannon Briggs vs Michael Moorer Puncher vs boxer If Shannon Briggs were to be released as against Lenox Lewis, I would vote for Shannon Briggs. Such a form was not enough for Lenox Lewis, but it would have been enough for Michael Moorer. 60/40 for Shannon Briggs.
