Shannon Briggs vs. Butterbean

Sorry, but it is a stupid match-up. Just look at some of the guys Butterbean has lost to;Kenny Craven; Billy Zumbrun. As far as I know, he's never beaten a top 50 guy. He's never been 12 rounds. Shannon Briggs, for all his faults, would have no problem with Butterbean. My guess is is KO the bean within three.

 

I still give the bean a serious chance to outpoint him over 4

 

If Briggs is only fighting a four rounder he's not going to try to save energy the way he does for a 10-12 rounder. He can let it all hang out.

 

It's relatively apparent from his recent performance that there's nothing left to "hang out".

 

I think he'd look like a world-beater if he fought Butterbean, a guy at least two notches below SI. (And that's beimng generous.) On top of that, Butterbean is a guy who come forward all the time and wings punches. Any semi-decent fighter can block or avoid those shots. And I would doubt that the bean has ever been hit by anybody with Briggs' power.

 

This is absurd. Le Bean, however entertaining, was/is a fat sideshow with some boxing ability. Shannon Briggs may be a disappointing top-class heavyweight, but he beat Sergei Liakovich in the 12th round last year. Mr. Lima-Bean has never even been 12 rounds. Briggs would whip him post to post for 4, 8, or 12 rounds- however long or short you like. My favorite southern french dish? Cassoulet- a well cooked mix of goose and white Beans- and that is that's what the fat man would be.

 

hmmm....briggs KO

 

hmmm....briggs KO

 

I'd love to see Butterbean knock Briggs right the **** out.

 

RonnieHornschuh- Briggs who admittedly looked terrible in his last fight -knocked out Liakovich in the last round in 2006. SL is a very good top level heavyweight. BB has never even faced a top class heavyweight much less beaten one-unless you consider a geriatric Holmes (who incidentely beat the kidney-Bean). You're comparing apples and oranges. Briggs is a HUGE dissapointment. He is slow, his conditioning is for **** and in his last fight even his vaunted power was dissapointing, but....he is a high level pro boxer. BB is a fat sideshow. I've boxed some myself-there are a lot of guys like butterbean, ok athletes, some power, some grit and all that-bean got recongnized because he's a wierdo. S Briggs is someone who on a good night, in proper shape has the ability to beat almost anyone-he's a real, talented, pro athelete. Albeit a hugely disspointing one. but it's like saying can the guy who's been shaking up 12th grade calculus class beat the lazy failed mathmatician at a math test, no way-it's a totally different thing INMO.

 

Butterbean hasnt only gone 10 rounds once,
butterbean in his prime got his ass whopped over 10 rounds by a 50 YEAR OLD Larry holmes.
Butterbean got his fat ass sent to the canvas by a tomato can who had no wins on his record.
A heart attack is more likely to get butterbean before he tries to get in with briggs.

 

Good post
