I quite like him. He's quite clearly in need of medical attention but he's funny with it :TU:

He just wants a fight but no one will fight him.

He got an awful beating from Vitali some years ago that left him hospitalised for some time. He's far too easy to hit these dsys. All the clowns chasing after him chuckling will be there to feed him soup, will they?

He already said time after time after time that he tore the muscle in his arm, but refused to give up.
What you're saying is basically that Dillian Whyte should retire and Whyte actually did get KOed.

He's a character and seems like a nice guy IMO.

Board won't grant him a license so briggs is wasting his time over here.

Briggs is ranked higher as David Haye for example and they give him a license too, so why not Briggs?

It has nothing to do with ranking. He may not get licenced on medical grounds because of past complications/injuries. The BBBoC are very stringent with medicals and rightly so. He looks fit enough so you never know but it's a possibility that his trip to these shores could become a journey wasted.

Briggs Looking for a payday I hope Haye gives it him, should be good watching the build up.

Haye was questioning if he'd pass a Brain Scan, but you have to wonder if he'd pass the Drug Test as well?

He's already failed one so he has previous.

I find him entertaining but he's irrelevant as a world level heavyweight these days. Somebody will pad his record with his name and that'll be the end of it.

Will Briggs accept the purses he's likely to be offered over here initially ? Doubt it.

IF he could pass the medicals, get a license (both unlikely) who would he be willing to fight? If you look at the 'fights' he's had since he came back the opponents are absolutely dire, Briggs would refuse anyone with an iota of ability and we'd end up with a one rounder over Larry O or Moses Matovu.

Some of his stuff was amusing ("I eat what you eat champ!") but for the most part I find the act dull.

You can only tell the same joke so many times ...
