    20 rounds, no neutral corner rule, who wins?

    Shannon Briggs could never go 20 rounds without collapsing from exhaustion. Johnson toys with Briggs cautiously for about 8 or 9 rounds, then moves in for the kill. Johnson wins by KO in about 10 or 11 rounds.

    This. There are levels to boxing and Briggs is nowhere near Johnson's level.

    Briggs had a very decent chin.

    Because the sport evolved a lot from early 1900's. Also I doubt Briggs would have been knocked down by Middleweight.

    Johnson nullifies the Best of Briggs over the course of the fight. In some respect s Brigg s wasn't the worst fighter ever ,and he did try his best against Lewis .He'd try and hurt Jack ,he'd always be dangerous ,but Johnson had a wealth of experience fighting all sorts. I don't see him stopping Shannon but busting his face up on the Inside with his uppercut s.An exhausted Briggs just makes it to 20 .Johnson wins by 13rounds to 7

    Not sure Darroll Wilson agrees with that. He didn't have to land anything particularly devastating to get Briggs totally out of there. He simply had to weather the storm Briggs dishes out for the first 1-3 rounds, and actually start punching back. Admittedly, Briggs can bring quite a bit of heat for those first few rounds, and most of his (predominantly inept) opponents never landed anything meaningful in return. But, he offered very little after that. Jack Johnson is more than skilled enough to weather the initial onslaught. After a while it would be target practice for Johnson.

    but Johnson was ko´d by Klondike haynes and Joe choynski, who was a middleweight by modern standarts. so it s quiete Logical his chin would collapse under briggs punches.

    Lewis was easier to hit with the jab than Johnson, he ate a lot of jabs against Shannon, allowing Briggs to set up big shots.

    Chins haven`t evolved and both Johnson and Ketchel were faster than Briggs unless Briggs better conditioning could help him recover from shots better than Johnson, I don`t get your point, Eubank Jr beat a heavyweight in sparring and GGG punches far harder than Jr.
