    Even a 48 yo George Foreman is a top 15 HW. And I'd venture to say that a 45 yo Mercer coming off a 5 fight win streak was likely a top 15 as well. And White Wolf, regardless of having a 7-4 lead going into the 12th, still got careless and KOd....a win is a win, and Liakovich was largely considered a top 5 after he beat Ahunanya, Guinn, and Brewster.

    He was/is an exciting fighter when he's fighting nohopers.

    When he's stepped up on the Blevel he's leveled off, and never beat an elite, A level fighter.

    Lewis, Ibragimov, and Vitali, all A level elites, beat him thoroughly, and Blevel guys he fought like Liakovich, old Foreman, old Mercer, Botha, McCline, all had close fights with him.

    He's still exciting, and would be a great test for up n coming HWs, defo a chinchecker, but mostly he's just a higher paid version of Kimbo. :think

    45 year old mercer wasnt ranked in the top 15 back then
    But lets say he was
    here are briggs wins in a 60 fight career over top 15 opponents

    Foreman AGE 48
    Mercer AGE 45
    Lycovich 23-1

    so my obvious point is WHOOPIE DOO, Briggs entire career he has never beaten a live body except the "3" i just listed

    EPIC :good

    The Briggs that lost to Lewis who you say could beat almost everyone now, is the same guy that lost to Darrol Wilson by KO in round 2. He couldnt even beat Botha.
    trust me, age MATTERS no matter what weight it is when you are almost 50 years old fighting someone in their 20s in a boxing ring :patsch

    i thought his press conference intrusion was pointless, we have seen that act before and he nearly got his brains beat out for 12 rounds for his trouble from Wlads brother

    He wants a piece of the pie, so he tries to throw a pie. Perfectly logical.

    Briggs should stick to the guys like the one from his last fight.

    he is like grown man, he wants to trow a pie at Wlad? That is classless would like for Briggs somehow upset some top heavy so that he would get his wish a trashing from Wlad.

    As of now Wlad at age of 38 has no time for him, briggs is not worthy opponent.

    They say the pie is one of Germany's favorite and also most expensive.
    A shame to waste that on Klitscho who only deserves a $2 Lemon Cream pie.

    Briggs needs some help. He's obviously not right in the head. This is beyond sad now.
