    If this fight had went down, how do you see it playing out? Two power punchers with fast hands and not so good stamina.

    It will be a case who gets to whom first.

    I would pick Sanders due to be a very fast starter.

    Agreed. I think Sanders hands were a little faster too.

    Briggs (unlike Rahman) was durable against eastern europeans .
    Sanders is South African of dutch origin , it may b 2 close 2 eastern euro 4 him .
    Like in Sanders vs Bruno i think it could go either way , supposing Briggs doesn't get n asthma attack . Sanders had more recuperative powers than Wladimir but not much more and his chin was close 2 Wlad's . Briggs' chin was about as good as Bruno's , but his opposition was somewhat weaker .
    Sanders might have blitzed him like he did almost every1 , and was better at it than Lennox Lewis , but if Briggs survives d 1st 3 rds he would have had 2b d favorite from then , even if not n overwhelming favorite .

    Sanders' hands were faster than any heavyweight's ever including prime Cautios Play's .

    But it was not always enough .
