That's a shame but if his heart isn't in it it's better for him to bow out gracefully. His fight with that south african guy he looked terrible. I really like Briggs and would have liked to see him get another title shot.
I cannot see anywhere he says he is retiring. In fact quite the contrary- wait for Green to have his mandatory, assume he wins make a move to challenge him?
Its a shame he's retiring but I feel his best years are behind him anyway, its just a shame he did not get the right oppurtunities earlier in his career, boxing politics held him back
Is it down to motivation? He's seemed to be pissed off in the past through lack of opportunity etc. I thought he beat Adamek in the 2nd bout.
He seems to be quite poor in the stay busy fights yet much better for world titles. The difference in him between say Clavero and Adamek 2 were dramatic.
He has the skill to perhaps beat Danny Green, or at leats make it close. Green does seem a lot fresher though. I think it'd be one hell of a fight.
