    One guy is a legendary HW champion. One guy is a not so legendary HW champion but has a 60 pound weight advantage.

    I go for Briggs in early ko.

    Who've you got?

    Briggs with or without steroids?

    Briggs in about 30 seconds.

    Choose the Briggs who stepped in the ring with Lennox Lewis

    I would say Briggs would have a bit of an easy time overpowering Fitzsimmons. Fitz was after all about 160-170. Completely different level of power here.

    Fitz is the better fighter but so was Ray Robinson against Marciano and I wouldn't pick Ray to win that one.

    Briggs by KO...EARLY.

    Totally agree.

    Despite being a HW legend, he would lose to the much bigger man.
