I think Briggs is better against bigger guys who dont make him move too much. He gets pretty tired if he has to move too much lol. I think it would be an explosive fight with a guaranteed KO for someone if Briggs stepped in with Peter. But I`m not expecting this to happen
It's unlikely that Tua will ever get back into that kind of shape again, and you're giving Peter waaaaayyyy too much credit.
I think Briggs would be an interesting opponent for Peter. Peter is not perticularily evasive so I can imagine Briggs landing on him at the same time he would have to be in better shape than his last fight which on this short of a notice would be nothing short of a miracle.
I have a strong feeling Tua wouldnt want or be ready to get in the ring right now with Peter, hes still waiting on the fight with Wlad I think.
Both fighters have a lot of issues, but what we know for sure is that Peter has a good chin and Briggs has bad stamina. So, I would expect Peter handle Briggs's bombs until The Cannon gases and probably gets KO'd.
The Briggs that showed up against Sultan would get owned but the one who faced Sergei would make it a really excitting fight because I know Peter wouldnt wait out the entire fight. Peter would advance and there would be fire works the whole way until it was over.
The Briggs that showed up against Lyakovich was still pretty pathetic. You would have to go all the way back to his fight with George Foreman to find a halfway decent version of Briggs with the ability to go the distance.
I agree... There are two many WBC Top Dogs postponing fights endlessly for training injury reasons... Wonder if Dr Iron Fist Vitaly and Big Oleg were to fight for the title, where would it be staged? In the Las Vegas Orthopedic Hospital? Sam Peter should be the new WBC Titlist just like it happened to Lewis in 93 and to Rahman after Vitaly Klitschko himself and more recently and Peter should fight a legit WBC Top Contender still this year, Big O may secure a title fight whenever he feels operational... The natural Peter opponent would be The Atomic Bull who has been promised a title shot by Jose himself but since he's in to defend that meaningless WBC International HWT Title against Juan Carlos Gomes in a less than an awaited rematch, bring on immediately Vladimir Virchis if the EBU Champ is as good as he's been labeled!
Fully agree. To be fair, the only fighters who are really deserving to fight for an interim title are Oliver and Virchis. Noone else deserves a chance to fight for it, other than those two. Peter/McCall 1st option Peter/Virchs 2nd option Anything else would be screwing these two guys outta what they rightfully deserve.
