    May he rest in peace. Gave us boxing fans a lot of action throughout the 1970's with his all-out pressuring style.

    Briscoe along with Frazier are the epitome of tough Philadelphia boxing. RIP.

    A lot of Argentines thought Briscoe won the first Monzon fight.

    That sucks.

    I remember Nigel Collins saying that he was a really good representative of the Philly boxing scene, and one of his personal all-time favorites.
