    Briggs was too big and slow by 2015, Haye would be too quick, he had far better skills and reflexes.

    Why 2015? Haye had been retired and hadn’t fought in 2 years, and this is the worst Briggs imaginable!

    I guess Haye would move and keep it safe, spoiling his way to a lackluster victory.

    Why not 2010 or so?

    That was around the time when a fight between these two was getting talked about ,Briggs was calling out David Haye and it looked possible they would meet at some point .

    But fair enough Phill,if we take em both in say 2010 then its Haye by late round's ko ,after being caught and rocked by the Cannon .

    I would take Haye in both fights...

    The 2015 one is difficult because of Hayes rust and decline and Briggs condition and decline. I like Haye in a fight where he scores and avoids the big punch.

    I think in 2010 haye still had a chip on his shoulder and would’ve mixed it up a little more, taking a slightly wider decision.

    I would take prime Briggs. Haye did not have the chin.

    There's no telling if Haye would snap a tendon or something during the fight. Briggs could still put away a sitting duck without issue. The chance of that happening is so high that his chsnce is reasonable.
