    Briggs by KO< why does everyone think Ruiz and Joshua and Fury are all so awesome, Joshua did look very good, but proven he is not so good by an overweight guy that hits hard with a chin and nothing else.
    Fury has size and not a lot else going on.

    I reckon it would go to the card s.. And be a draw!
    Not much to choose between the two imo. But the fight could actually turn in to a good battle.

    Wtf. Briggs would probably gas and get tko'd. I'm a big Briggs fan but he had enough problems in his "first" prime with Francois Botha and an ancient Foreman. Ruiz would stop him in the middle rounds and, yes, Ruiz is better than Botha and a creaky version of Foreman.

    Ruiz on points, based on his better defense.I think Briggs got hit too much, take for example the Botha fight,Ruiz with his short punches would land effectively.

    Ruiz probably is better all round than Briggs,,,,,but he's there for the cannon to hit. Shannon by knockout in four. Ruiz has to show me much more than he has to pick him

    Ruiz has a tight guard and Briggs had no offensive skill.

    Ruiz would toy with Briggs and had too much handspeed for the older Foreman and overrated Botha, different class.
