    no way in hell this fight takes place. Briggs is going to fight another journeyman, similar to Anthony Joshua's opponent level. Like another Raphael Zumbano Love

    Stiverne has a big overhand right, and Briggs has always (even in his prime) defended terribly against them. Does anyone really think that will change now?

    I dunno about Briggs. I think he'd struggle against a mover because of his age. But someone that will stand in front of him and trade. I think he would have a very good chance of winning this one by KO. I can only go by both common opponents.Which was Demetrice King, where Stiverne seemed to get bullied a bit, while Briggs wiped him out.

    Lazier Stiverne? This isn't Shannon Briggs who fought Lennox Lewis. Briggs loses.

    I'm so shocked Briggs is getting these type of opportunities. I guess all that crazy stalking he's been doing for the last year has paid off for him. If Stiverne comes to the fight in pretty good shape, I can see him KO'ing Briggs with a countershot he doesn't see coming.

    I will give Briggs credit for taking his conditioning really seriously these days.

    shocked that the Stiv has sunk so low.

    He wasn't much up till now, but this is a major step down for him.

    So you are saying all those top heavyweights in the attendance will watch Briggs vs one of his last bums? Could be, but I doubt it.

    Fight won't happen according to Stiverne. They offered Briggs the fight, but he wasn't interested.

    Briggs doesn't have 2 million to offer anyone. This is just nonsense like him telling people he is going to fight Wlad for 10 million.
