Shannon Brigg vs Archie Moore

Then why would you favor Briggs to beat Moore?

 

Yes but he also rocked Lewis and has many solid fights against guys that would not be allowed to fight moore?

 

I hope so ,that guy looks awful in contrast.

 

I would think that Moore would come in around 190-196 at heavyweight. At that weight and Briggs' prime weight there is a 32-38 lb difference. For Holyfield and Klitschko there is a 38lb difference as well.

 

Holyfield is a tacticle counter puncher nothing like Moore, Holyfield also has a chin top 10 all time imop.Briggs would run over Moore its a mismatch.

 

Moore would take him to school.

 

Moore was a very good counter puncher in fact he put Marciano down with a counter punch.

 

WTF is going on here lately????

 

Who's the best HW Briggs beat?
The Foreman win was a gift.
His ONLY win was over Liakhovich, whose only claim to fame is a win over Lamon Brewster.
And Briggs only just managed to KO Liakhovich, at 2:59 of the final round.

Nino Valdes was at the top of his game, the #1 contender at the time.

Moore's much better defensively than Briggs, a sharper hitter. A counter puncher, a KO hitter. Briggs is more likely to get KO'd early here.

 

I'm not sure.

 

Moore KOs against opponents over 200 pounds were mostly mediocre.
That's true of Shannon Briggs too.

I disagree.
A big crude swinger leaves himself open to get countered and befuddled, and KO'd.

I'd pick James Toney to defeat Briggs too.
