Heavyweight Prizefighter June 20

[Benelio]

would Briggs even be granted a license over here?

Briggs and McCline would get licensed and more importantly get visas to fight over here but McCall would fail on both counts due to a failed MOR scan and his previous criminal record.

There is no way there are 8 GB/UK Heavyweights who would either be available or willing to take part in the June edition of Prizefighter unless they scrape the very bottom of the barrel so i'm going to presume that it's an international version.

Being realistic as there's no point naming guys who have a ranking or world title ambitions i think the following 8 guys could be convinced to take part especially with a guranteed upfront basic win or lose.

1. Shannon Briggs - gives him a chance to put some quick wins together and put him self back in world title contention.
2. Travis Walker - always makes for exciting fights and would fancy his chances in a competition like this.
3. Sam Sexton - if he loses to Price and dosen't get KO'd then this would make sense for him.
4. Alex Leapai- exciting fighter who probably knows he'll never get a world title shot now.
5. Martin Rogan - could be interested in becoming the first 2 time Prizefighter champion.
6. Larry Olubamiwo - he really needs to give Prizefighter a go at this stage of his career.
7. Tom Dallas - last chance saloon.
8. Jameel McCline - big puncher with limited stamina so could be interested in the 3 round format.

It is an international one. You named so good names lose Dallas replace with Pajikc.Also Rogan with Perez. Sexton with Sprott and that be a good line up.

There's no chance Perez will take part again and personally i don't want to see Sprott in the competition again as he's too boring for the format. At least Dallas and Larry would give it a go and probably get knocked out.

Personally i would go for 8 Heavyweights who have knockout power but also have glass chins so for the audience we're never quite sure who'll win. That's why guys like Travis walker, Leapai, Larry and Dallas are a must for Prizefighter.

Briggs is over 40, so I'm pretty sure the BBBofC would not give him a licence. Either way, there ain't a chance in hell that Briggs would come to England to fight 3 round fights. Not a chance.

Much though I'd love to see a International Tournament featuring Botha, Briggs, McCline, Tua, McCall and all the names mentioned.

Three words come to mind.

Get fkking real.

Didnt HBO or someone seriously float the idea of a Legends prizefighter with Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield, Bowe etc?

It was going to be staged in Dubai, or something.

Tyson said it was a good idea, but he didn't want to take part.

I'd still pay to see Lennox kick Bowe's arse.

I do this at work all the time. Whenever a new project comes up i always ask "will i have to do anything?"

If they say no, then i tell them its a great idea.

Oh god not another heavyweight prizefighter. They are piss poor.

[funso banjo baby]

the last two hw prizefighters have been poor

particularly the last one with the shameless way that the promoters listed big-name fighters as confirmed... when they were nothing of the sort...

Meehan is a Kiwi, non?

Non. He was born in NZ, looks like he's from NZ but he's a naturalised Aussie, I think.

He was born in Fiji - and as Fiji was a British colony when he was born - is technically British! :P

So FOUR countries can claim him!

Anyway to answer the question, he is officially credited with being the only Australian to challenge for a major world heavyweight championship.

Not Bugner?

2 of his 4 PF matches (Skelton and Fields) were decent tear-ups.

Really wanna see Dillian Whyte in 20th June Prizefighter

He was still entirely British when he fought for legit titles. By the time he was WBF champ, he was Aussie.

I haven't checked it out but didn't Bill Lang fight Tommy Burns for the world heavyweight title?
