Oleg worst of the bunch, slow plodding. Does have a good chin and power and because of that you really cant rule him out of a fight against any of the others. The only reason he is third is because he would beat Briggs.

Briggs would be last. If he could fix his stamina issues he would rival Wlad. Briggs has good hand speed and power, but due to lack of stamina cant put good combos together for long or throw more than 5 punches a round past the first. Got extremely lucky against Lykhovich.
I have these two the other way round on my list but styles make fights and Oleg may just be too busy for a plodding Briggs . But also Valuevs style would suit Briggs more . Shannon needs a stationary target in order for him to unload . If he got close to Valuev he would let his combos go and im sure Valuev would fall under the attack . Nikolay wouldnt box and move . Theyd meet center ring and I'd have to go with the quicker more powerful guy . So the bottom 3 could really be in any order but we cant dispute that Wvlad is a deserving number 1 . He'd blast Maskeav out in no time .He'd be cautious against Briggs but force a mid - late round stoppgae when the Yanks stamina had gone and he'd jab Valuevs head off for 12 rounds.
