    No. It's a grotesque mismatch that's being cynically hyped up by Haye to keep himself in the public eye and line his own pockets. Don't give it any credibility.

    With his power he has a chance against almost anybody. If he clips Haye a good one it could be good night.

    This is pure garbage. Haye should fight someone like Wach to get some rounds in .

    Briggs is complete garbage.

    He is looking to get paid.

    Haye is using his name recognition to get a cash out fight vs joshua

    If Briggs goes on the juice, then he's got a puncher's chance.

    No more than a puncher's chance. Briggs is pretty much an early rounds fighter only, if he can clip Haye somehow obviously he still has solid power and could take him out, but it's way more likely that Haye just uses his movement and potshotting to get through the early trouble then takes Briggs out later on in the fight or soundly outboxes him.

    Briggs was absolutely embarrassed by an ancient Vitaly Klitschkos like half a decade ago...

    Haye probably stops him, I doubt Briggs will land a glove on him

    I hope Briggs levels him. I really hope that happens!

    That said, The Cannon is like a senior citizen. He does not have the stamina or speed to catch Haye, who will likely just cautiously dance around and pot shot for the entire fight. Until Old Man Briggs is tired enough to collapse.

    Briggs won't land a single punch. Odds will be astronomical is Haye's favor. Which leads me to believe he might bet on Briggs and take a dive

    Briggs didn't have a chance against old Vitali, it's silly to think he'd have one against Haye

    He is definitely on the juice. But not even that is going to make a blind bit of difference. Briggs is a stationary target after 2 rounds and Haye is going to be able to pot shot him all night long without getting hit.

    If it goes to a decision and this depends on how damaged Briggs is from the beating of a lifetime against Vitali (which we dont know whether his punch resistance has gone because he has been fighting divers and cab drivers since)...it will be a win in the region of 120-108 or 119-109 for Haye

    It's a very bad fight, but Briggs does have a chance based on his power, chin and the fact that Haye hasn't fought a live body in almost 4 years.
    Neither did Briggs of course, so both will be surprised to find themselves opposite to an opponent that actually fights back.
