    I think that Shannon will endure in this one.

    On the surface Shannon seems as though he should knock Ingo onto a different continent. But then I remember the Darroll Wilson fight.. I'd still favor him but its not a given.

    While Ingemar is the overall better fighter, this might be a bad stylistic matchup for him

    Either Ingo UD or Briggs KO

    Prime Briggs bombs him out. Old Briggs might do it too unless he gasses and becomes a sitting duck for a barrage of rights and loses an ugly decision.

    Johannson was the better fighter. I pick him.

    I think little of Briggs. If Ingo nailed him early he could take the fight.
