    I think Holyfield would have better chances.

    Briggs has bigtime power??? For Real?? Lets see...I can't name over the win over whats his name..ya know the guy that was KOed from Moe Harris before he fought Briggs. When was the last time Briggs beat a Bigtime fighter via KO??? I know that when you KO Cans it makes you look like a puncher....well he did KO Old Ray Mercer...Hmm if I think long I might come up with another.....NOPE that it.

    He has power that has not really been a question.
    Hear is what I saw in the videos. He has a lazy jab. He puts nothing on it. He just goes through the motions with it. The other thing is that he sticks his chin straight up. One of the first thing a boxer should be tought is to tuck his chin so it is less of a target.
    If he fights like the way he dose in those fights when he fights Vitali he's going to find the ref standing over him saying "Ten".

    Vitali was only tested once by Lewis. Then Chris Byrd caused him an injury. We'll never see primes of Tyson Holy Bowe or Golota test him, too bad. Never mind Foreman, Holmes or Ali.

    Briggs would knock Audley out.

    We could be watching Vitali Vs. Haye is Haye had not broken contract and lied. Haye is in hiding. Haye knows he would get knocked out. Vitali is not old now because he never gets out of shape. Byrd did not cause Vitali's injury, Vitali had injury before the fight. He was beating Byrd with one are. Byrd said that Vitali was more difficult to fight than Vlad. Vitali broke Lewis nose badly. Lewis retired rather than fight rematch. Vitali had 2.5 hours of surgery after the Byrd fight. He would easily have beaten Byrd again in rematch, but Vlad beat Byrd two times. Vitali is 39, Haye is 29, yet Haye is afraid to fight Vitali. Haye does not think Vitali is an old man. Vitali is fighting until he gets fight with Haye, but Haye will never fight him.

    Some fighters are too old at 39 some not.You are not dead if you are 39.I dont see any fighter in division who will win over that old man.Vitali is disciplined he is always in great shape and he did not taken too many punches.People always discuses about fighter ages and that thing is not that matter in today boxing.

    He sure does have those hands low. And somehow or other, he brings them back even lower after throwing a punch. And he starts falling in with those legs after throwing right hand leads by the 3rd round because he's fatigued and no longer has proper balance. And it's 1 punch, rest. 2 punches and it's the next 10 seconds off.

    A guy with those flaws needs a lot of head movement or upper body movement as soon as they face elite opponents. They will be getting hit flush.

    The activity level Vitali fights at is about 700% greater than the pace Briggs likes to fight at. And, incredibly enough, Briggs still gets gassed. How long before that gastank runs dry or he eats big shots with those hands at his waist? The longer the bout goes, the worse it is for Briggs because of his stamina and defense.
