    Head to head, fist to fist, 12 rounds if required, the version of Gibbons who faced Dempsey versus the version of Briggs who faced Lewis.

    I suspect that we would end up with some sort of decision win for Gibbons.

    Gibbons runs around until Briggs has an asthma attack.

    The fight would never happen.
    Gibbons drew the Pineapple line.

    Case Study #2.

    Briggs heavyweight victories include Liakhovich, Mercer, old Foreman

    Gibbons heavyweight victories include, almost exclusively and exhaustively, a sick Miske in his third to last fight.

    Classicist pick? Gibbons, of course.

    Shouldn't that be "old Mercer" ?

    and "old Foreman (gifted)"

    No way in hell that an unskilled bum like Briggs would even land solidly enough on Gibbons to knock him out. Depending on how defensive Gibbons plays it it could go UD either way.
