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.
I can see that point of view. I disagree but who knows what's going on in the weird & wonderful mind of Briggs

Why can't people get this through their heads, all briggs wants is one huge payday before he calls it a day. He's broke.

If he fought and beat them now, it would be his best result in 10 years
That's right, but sadly, they simply duck him.
Just out of interest, where do you rank Briggs currently? Who is just ahead or behind him in your opinion?
rank 25 ish, just below Takam, Whyte, just above Price, Wawrzyk.
I'd have to say, there are guys out there ranked higher that I rate lower, and ranked lower that I rate higher.

Yeah but it's common knowledge the dust mites in his hotel room aggravated his asthma, making him vulnerable against Wilson...

Indeed. Haye is in the exact same boat. That's why a fight between the two would have been fitting.

This sums up a lot of what is wrong with boxing today and not just Briggs- everyone wants an easy path to top money - Joshua, Alvarez Haye etc- they should be fighting at least four times a year in my book- just fight ffs
