    Puncher's chance, he has good KO power and he's quite tall, he might be a threat to Klitschko but I wouldn't be surprised when this turn out to be one of those one sided schooling!!

    Strongly doubt it! His only chance to win is by ko. But its against dr. iron chin, so no way he can stop Vitali! Briggs will quit fighting after 4 rounds and probably end counting stars on his back shortly after!

    Extraordinarily unlikely. He has less footspeed than Toney and will be at the end of Vitali's jab all night.

    Briggs has the kind of one punch power that IMO can knock out anybody if he lands cleanly

    Vitali is there to be taken right now but I don't know whether Briggs is going to have the heart and fitness to do it but he has a big puncher's chance because he's got a lot of power and Vitali is there to be hit.

    Huh? Vitali got hit more back when he fought Lewis and Sanders than he does now. He's hardly been hit flush since his comeback. He's better at measuring distance now than he was pre-comeback. Watching Wlad's work with Manny has rubbed off on VK.

    Briggs has as much of a chance as anyone else around right now. Which means, a slim chance.

    He's going to be destroyed, not even a chance he'll be a problem for Vit. Vit also has cheeeen, never been down, did he?

    Briggs has to land the perfect shot early on. Vitali will avoid trading with him in the early rounds and simply be potshotting from the outside and use his awkward defense and whatever is left of his reflexes to avoid most damage.

    I doubt Vitali will trade toe-to-toe with Briggs straight from the opening bell.
     
  13. No, he can't do anything at all. He has terrible stamina and Vitali has a iron chin and still moves well for his age. This fight will end inside the first 7 rounds and Vitali will have his hand raised.

    It'll look like this, mid rounds.

    Vitali was rocked down to his toes grabbing for dear life after one Sanders left hand. To say he is immune from being hit on the chin a KTFO is ignorant. When has he been hit since Sanders by a Puncher to gauge whether he is Dr. "Iron CHIN"??? He hasn't, so by that logic Wlad has a chin made of iron now too. Lewis's power was overrated, it was thudding but if it was so great Morrison would have stayed down and Tua would have hit the canvas. But Tua almost gets KOed by Barrett........the fact is we really don't know what Vitali's chin will do nearing 40 years old if a Briggs lands flush, he hasn't been hit in a long time. Will Briggs land?? I doubt it, but don't be shocked if the gray haired Iron "chin" isn't up for the task if one lands flush.............
