This annoying annoying ccunt with his tedious LETS GO CHAMP dogshit voice.....who pays for all these random appearences in the UK.

I wish he would shut his mouth and just fight on the undercards because he has more talent,skills and power even at 48 than most these guys

I wish he would just fight and try and climb the ladder

He is the official challenger for the WBA 'regular' title, he is looking for one last payday.

He is 45 year old with a lot oif ohysical wear and tear and an asthma sufferer. I don't see him taking any risks before a big fight is signed.

He's a smart guy trying to talk his way into 1 final pay day.
He's even smarter by not risking that by fighting anyone who would possibly beat him.

He's better right now compared to back then actually

Well, let him fight Darrol Wilson, or Sedreck Fields, or even guys with similar rating nowadays.

Briggs could get lots of regular fights. He doesn't want them. He wants a big payday, and he wants it handed to him.

As far as I know he only ducked Parker a few years ago, all others simply ducked him.

That's right, but sadly, they simply duck him.

He don't want no more tests. He wants a big check.
Agreed. He would be an easy fight for the top guys, but he wants to be paid very well for it.

It's not difficult to understand. He wants one big pay day, but has no faith in his ability to beat anybody.

He was bothering Klitschko for ages too. He doesn't have faith in his ability to stay relevant by fighting, so he tries to get camera time by shouting and acting like a bellend.

Just out of interest, where do you rank Briggs currently? Who is just ahead or behind him in your opinion?

Briggs wouldn't take the Haye fight unless it was on PPV.
Haye told them it wasn't a PPV fight and they didn't want to know.
He's not interested in Titles or good fights anymore Shannon is after a big a payday as possible.

My question is how does he have the money now to keep following all these fighters around and harassing 'em at all these big events? He or somebody has to have spent a fortune constantly going to Germany and England and everywhere in between f*cking with people.

I think it's vacant and he was going to fight Lucas Browne for it.

Put Briggs v Whyte for vacant title on Wembley undercard.

It wouldn't be enough money for him, and he'd lose. He doesn't care about titles. He wants money, and he wants a guaranteed payday not a tough fight to get to a payday because he can't get by the tough fight successfully, and he knows it.
