    I know it sounds crazy, but at this stage in both men's careers, anything can happen, especially when it comes to two big punchers who like to trade. Briggs is actually one year younger than Vitali, and although he's been fighting nobodies is at least keeping busy.... I sure as hell would'nt give him much of a chance to beat either Klitschko, but anyone who has followed this game for any length of time, knows that crazier things have happened.

    yeah but he is a world level fighter who is known for his power and speed just lack of stamina and lack of heart to a degree and fighting truly pooooor competition.

    Vitali Klitschko is not a big puncher.

    After reading his earlier comment, I doubt he'll be reasoned with on this thread.

    I've always given Briggs a punchers chance in all his fights........ He still has hand speed at age 38, but his legs have slowed to a crawl...

    Briggs' chin and stamina is generally what lets him down.........

    If this fight came off, I'd actually be interested in watching it.... **** it, there's nothing else out there worth looking at, or at least not at heavy weight.

    Wladimir is a good fighter. Vitali is overrated because he was valiant in defeat to the only elite fighter he faced, and said fighter happened to be out of shape and past prime. He's ****.

    Interesting I always thought Dempsey had the record amongst the HW champs, but I suppose we have a new king!

    I´m not a hater but would also about agree to some points
    watch his early fights Vitali is a hard working man but has next to no talent and since the shoulder injury in the Byrd fight he never leans himself in when he throws a right. He wears his opponents down and destroys them but he hasnt really one punch ko power anymore or isnt willing to show it anymore somehow at least.
