Remember how he shut Liakhovich's game down with the counter left hook? Considering how Haye hangs his chin out and the fact that Briggs' chin is actually pretty decent (out of his 5 losses, he only has been kayoed 2 times- 1 time to Lennox Lewis and the other he just got caught while flailing punches against Darroll Wilson in his first loss). On paper Briggs looks like a great opponent to showcase against, but in actuality Briggs is a much taller order than Haye might be able to handle.
I 1,000,000% disagree with your assesment that Briggs is the hardest puncher...we all know Wlad can KO anyone at any time.....I thin Briggs IN SHAPE at maybe 260 is a tough fight for Haye as Shannon can take a shot and give a good one in return but he's not a tough fight for Haye once Haye learns to box. HOWEVER if Haye learns to box he's still introuble with Wladimir.

Briggs has no heart anymore (as if he had one to begin with) and I mentioned his name in disgust. A fight vs Maskaev or Rahman would mean more for Haye. I think a fight vs Golota would mean more than a win over Briggs
