    The 270 pound Briggs who knocked out Liakhovich versus Old Foreman from Foreman's last fight (against young Briggs.)

    Does the immobile behemoth version of Briggs do better or worse than his younger self?

    If Briggs was much worse when older, & Foreman beat him anyway when nearly 49, how in Sam Hill is an immobile, less fit Briggs going to be competitive?!?

    When Briggs fought Liakhovich, do you realize he had not yet even turned 35?
    STILL he would have no realistic chance against Foreman.
    In fact I can find no age where if they both were training that Briggs would have any good chance to beat Foreman.
    Regardless of how many PEDs he took.
