    Saw Briggs at a show not too long ago, man hes a big dude. He looked a lot heavier than he usually does, but hes a massive human being.

    This is a case in which I would just love to see Jiffy-Pop Briggs a KO winner.I think the hairless wookie Valuev would fight a bit tenative and be in awe of Briggs plentiful locks atop his head.Last I saw of Jiffy-pop on ESPN,he was quite the plumper though?

    They have about the same speed. But I'd favor Valuev coz he's freakishly huge and Shannon has asthma which could cause some stamina problem.

    I have asthma. If he didnt come into the fight weighing 280 pounds of muscle then he wouldnt gas out so soon. Its not his natural body weight and its only putting unsafe pressure on him. If he comes in even at 240 or 230 I'd pick him to KO Valuev. If he comes in the usual 270 something then if he doesnt KO Valuev in the first 2 rounds then its over.

    To think that Briggs once weighed around 227 lbs and was a big fast, extremely talented heavyweight.

    What a waste.

    At least he got the WBO belt for a brief period of time when he KO's Liahovich.

    I can't see it. He has been inactive since being beaten by a less than impressive Sultan Ibragimov. I think that Chagaev will take Valuev again anyway.

    The only intrigue with this fight is seeing whether it can beat out Briggs-Liakhovich for most boring heavyweight fight ever.

    wonder what the PPV buy rate would be if Valuev ever fought on HBO for a world title.

    You would have to be a combination of insane and extremely drugged up to actually pay to watch valuev
