Yeah his biggest payday at over one hundred thousand...good for Salka but not so good for the sport.I guess everyone in the top ten rankings were busy lol.The governing bodies refused to sanction the fight.
Wild video and Briggs is as tough as shoe leather.He withstood twelve rounds of Klitscko shellacking his ass and now he wants more.When was the last time he even fought?

Haha I didn't realize that it wasn't sanctioned, but I don't blame them.

I thought that Briggs retired after the fight with Vitali, but apparently he took a layoff since 2010, and has come back to beat up 4 scrubs already this year.

It would have been nice to him and Mike Tyson,both in their primes,square off.Those bombs he took from Klitchko(practically broke his face)makes me wonder how he would have eaten Tyson's best shots.

 

[bottles]

Tyson would have finished him I think. The guy can take some serious punishment though; he's faced some heavy hitters throughout his career.

Brings to mind Ray Mercer in terms of overall toughness..Briggs suffered an orbital fracture,broken nose,and a torn bicep in the Klitchko torturing.No way that fight should have been allowed to go twelve rounds and it probably wouldn't have gone half that long in the States but he is tough.

He's clearly trying to get a payday..probably because his bit part movie roles ain't cuttin it for his lifestyle.LOL at him throwing a shoe though,that's a big insult in some countries.

That clip was hilarious especially after the water was dumped on him and he started flapping around like a fish.

Anybody hear the latest in the feud between Floyd Mayweather and Fifty Cent? Fiddy claims that Floyd somehow stiffed him out of two million dollars and is now claiming that Floyd Mayweather is illiterate.He has pledged to donate a large sum of money to charity if Mayweather can read a page from a Harry Potter book.
