    Surprisingly similar. I think he beats everyone except for Fury and maybe Ortiz. Ortiz would be a very interesting scenario.

    I don't think so I think you're overestimating Briggs a tad, he lost to fighters like Darroll Wilson, Sedrick Fields, and got beat up by Francois Botha.

    With Briggs's horrible stamina I would gather he picks up a few more losses than Wilder.

    The people you named are more skilled than 98% of Wilder’s resume. Although maybe a Stiverine L is possible

    I'm not saying he necessarily loses to Stiverne, but he has lost to worse fighters than Stiverne.

    Not really Wilson, Botha, were unremarkable contenders and Fields was a journeyman.

    It basically turns on how you think he woudl do against Stiverne and Ortiz.

    I guess he probably doesn't go 4-0 against them.

    Most likely gets stopped by Stiverne. No gas tank against strong, durable counter puncher. Possibly gets outboxed by Scott. Gets his ass beat by Fury and Ortiz. Probably loses a random fight or two due to gassing out, such as to Arreola and Breazeale.

    Best case I imagine Briggs would go 33-13 against Wilder's competition.

    Briggs most likely goes 30-16, as Briggs loses to one of Wilder's earlier opponents as well. (And Briggs did that on occasion.) Sconiers beat Jameel McCline, who floored and stopped Briggs. Sconiers beat Ray Austin, too, who was on par with Briggs. Arreola wiped the floor with Jameel and Szpilka beat him, too.)

    Briggs lost to Sedreck Fields. Everyone beat Fields - including Arreola, Liakhovich, Scott.

    Briggs was usually hyperventilating by round 2, that's why he tried to get everyone out early. Anyone who put up any effort at all tended to go rounds with Briggs. And going rounds was his kryptonite.

    Loses to Fury three times. Loses to Luis Ortiz twice. Loses to Helenius. Loses to Breazeale. Loses to Arreola. Loses to Duhaupas (he was a tough nut to crack when he fought Wilder). Loses to Stiverne twice. Loses to Szpilka. Loses to Washington. Likely fades against Scott. Molina is a coin flip. (Molina was doing better than Briggs against common opponents around the time Molina fought Wilder.)

    Liakhovich is another coin flip. (When Briggs fought Liakhovich, after 11 rounds. Liakhovich could only lose by KO, which happened with no time left in the fight. Could Shannon do that again? Maybe not. Liakhovich went the distance with Andy Ruiz after losing to Wilder. I don't think Briggs goes the distance with Ruiz without collapsing from exhaustion. .)

    Not sure if you're joking, but he wasn't that bad. Probably loses once before Stiverne and then bats 500 not counting five Ls against Ortiz and Fury. Molina, Washington, and Liakovich would be pretty big underdogs. He also was way out of shape when he fought McCline.

    Scott and Washington have a small chance of an upset with their movement, but Briggs is more likely to stop them.

    Briggs vs Arreola is honestly a pick em fight. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he managed to lose.

    Stiverne should be slightly favored unless he's grossly out of shape. Better fundamentals, better stamina, better defense.

    Ortiz either decisions or stops Briggs twice unless he gets caught with something big.

    Fury beats him 3x in a row.

    Worse than Wilder's. Prime Briggs was KTFOed by Darroll Wilson and lost to Cedrick Fields. A lot of Wilder's opponents are better than these two and he beat them all except of Fury

    Unremarkable contenders and journeymen comprise Wilders entire winning resume.

    Yeah true but I think Briggs would end up with a few more losses than Wilder. To be fair Wilder has beaten all of his stiffs along with some good wins and ok wins in there.

    Briggs got stopped in 3 by Darroll Wilson, and lost to the likes of Sedrick Fields. So chances are he wouldn't go through Wilder's list of opponents without multiple losses. I could definitely see him losing to Ortiz, Stirvenne, and theres a few others that would be debatable.
