    Joshua and any other answer is supremely stupid. Briggs had to get a robbery against 47 year old Foreman and lost to worse competition than Ruiz and Usyk while having a tenth of Joshua's resume.

    Say what you want about Briggs but the guys got heart he stood there and was a punching bag for Vitali for 12 rounds and never went down that deserves peoples respect.

    Prime Briggs didn't do too bad against Lewis. He's got good power, is fast and has tonnes of heart. I'd give him a decent chance against Joshua.

    Let's go champ.

    Doesn’t matter, Joshua has no heart,he gets beat by fighters less formidable than himself. Massive chance Briggs wins

    Briggs is a live underdog, even though I picked Joshua. The Brothers Klitschko chose to put him up against Vitali rather than Wlad, which may be significant because Wlad shares some of the same weaknesses that Joshua does.

    Joshua easily. Briggs wasn't any good even at his prime.

    - prime Briggs was KTFO'ed in the 3rd round by very small (and not very talented) Darrol Wilson
    - prime Briggs was outboxed soundly by 49-years-old George Foreman, but got a gift from judges
    - prime Briggs needed another judges' gift (draw) against very average Francois Botha
    - prime Briggs was battered from pillar to post by Jameel McCline
    - prime Briggs was outboxed by 9-9 opponent Cedrick Fields

    People give Briggs too much credit for hurting Lewis. I believe Lennox came unfocused in the fight, and anyone can understand why - in his last fight before facing Lewis Briggs was beaten by ancient George Foreman. I beleieve Lewis was unfocused as much in that fight as he was in his first fight against Rahman. The difference was that Rahman capitalized on it while Briggs couldn't. He almost did it in the first round, but that scare just woke up real Lennox, and the fight was over quickly after that.

    Also I'm not entirely sure Lewis was at hurt as it looked to announcers. The first shot connected more like a forearm and got Lewis more off balance than anything. The second didn't land clearly, either, but Lewis was just caught off guard by Brigg's aggression at thinking he had Lewis hurt. I don't believe Lewis was in any real danger that fight.

    Also, I think Briggs deserved at least one more chance after that last KD.

    Briggs had speed but was ridiculously inaccurate and faded really quickly, honestly faded quicker than Morrison. He lost almost everytime he didn’t fight a journeymen.

    AJ. Easily.

    Jeez. Gets battered by one fatass and suddenly everyone forgets he's actually a solid fighter. Not an ATG, but real solid.

    Joshua although according to some clowns on here he's completely useless (despite being a two time unified champ) and a bum. Briggs has a chance early of the upset but as he had a poor gas tank if it goes more than 4 then Joshua will probably clip him
