    Did anyone see Vitali's wife shouting at Briggs? I noticed she was quite moved by Wlad's spectacular ko of Pulev but she didn't like it when 'Lets Go Champ' Briggs who was sat quite near started his shouting.

    That is what Briggs is looking for entertainment and publicity.
    The Mansour fight is too risky for him.

    At least there is a risk Briggs would not be looking good in winning.But still this is the right fight for shannon cause the fight will attract a lot of attention.If he does not beat toney who else is he gonna beat?

    how is a fight fun when both fighters gass after 3 rounds?

    only if you are used to terrible standards, could this be deemed fun.

    Briggs is shot and so is Toney, but Briggs has more left and is a natural heavyweight as opposed to James. Id favor him, and the build up to this fight would b epic.

    The press conference would be better than the fight.

    Let's face the truth, the Wlad-Briggs fight will not happen, for a number of reasons, and everyone knows that, including Briggs. That whole situation with Briggs following Wlad around and so on is just a farce to gain some attention, and they both profit from that. But the fight will never happen.

    However, Briggs did also gain Toneys attention - and Toney has stated that he is willing to fight him. So there lies a REAL challenge for Briggs, a fight that has a realistic chance to actually happen, against an ATG and a true legend of the sport (however washed up Toney might be now). And also a winnable fight for Briggs.

    However, it looks like Briggs is all talk but no walk as he seems to ignore that challenge that is there right in front of him. Toney has called him out.

    And that means that Briggs is to be included into the long list of fighters that have ducked Toney - indeed Briggs is now BLATANTLY ducking Toney as we speak. He will probably fight another small-town drunkard next. How can Briggs even have the nerve to call out Wlad if he doesn't have the ***** to face an ancient Toney in the ring?? Absolutely no respect for Briggs.

    this would be a "bad for your health fight"
    they would sadly beat on each other for 12 rounds with no defense and with heavy shots.... great for the fans, back for them at their age...they are nearly a combined 90 years old
