Briggs does not have a chance in a fight with either Klit. brother. The odds would be fantastically against Briggs. He sucked a long time ago, he sucks more now. He has no stamina (regardless of what health condition he has to blame it on), relatively little heart, and is a guy who threw something like 3 punches in a round during his championship fight against Liakohvich (which he did win, which we can attribute more to Liakhovich losing than to Briggs actually winning.)
COULD NOT SEE PAST AN EARLY KO FOR THE DOCTOR. I JUST THINK EVEN THO HE'S HAD THE LAY OFF HE'S JUST HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST
Vitali Klitschko is the better all round fighter. He has the power and chin and his stamina and workrate are better than Briggs. Still I think it would be a close fight and probably a points decision in Vitali's favour.
I do think that Briggs would Ko china chin Wladimir though - the guys an accident waiting to happen.
Will this is a hard one because it depends if Briggs have a stomach ache before the fight, herpes, or anemonia :) Wlad will knock is ass out in six.
Briggs should be THE dominant heavyweight but he isn't for reasons that are and aren't his fault.
First, Briggs is lazy. Rather that roadworking and coming in somewhere below 240 he's chosen to stack on a ton of muscle. Good for really short fights and he probably has the single hardest punch in the division, but any fighter who can stretch him across at least 6 rounds has a significantly higher chance of avoiding that punch. And it's probably because of Briggs' asthma. He could put in as much roadwork as he wanted but the minute an attack comes on that's all for nothing. Briggs is gifted naturally, but he's chosen to waste those talents, putting on clubs instead of knives to get the job done.
