    In this video, we clearly see Shannon Briggs talking his way to get a fight with David Haye and eventually he got what he wanted. Briggs/Haye in HayeDay 3 in Sept 2016.


    I also heard of David Haye getting his shot with Klitschko by mouthing off enough to get his shot but what are some other examples of this?

    Guys that big mouth their way to a title shot but not actually earn it?

    Fernando Vargas talked smack about Oscar De La Hoya.

    Mayweather talked his way into the De La Hoya fight.

    Audley vs Haye.

    But like the Briggs fight, Haye himself was in on it.
