    Easily.

    Feather-fisted Quitali would have been overpowered and probably pulled his own shoulder and quit again as he did against Byrd.

    I don’t think so, since Briggs is tailor-made for Vitali.

    Doubtful. Shannon was very talented. Just not exactly always motivated, hence his inconsistent career. At his very best, it's possible. But I would not have bet on it.

    No version of Briggs beats any version of Vitali.

    uh, he got a HUGE gift against an old foreman! BRIGGS knew that he actually lost that fight. he slumped back to his corner, sat down and hung his head. there is NO way he would have beaten vitaly.

    It affected his performance. He had the chin to go 12 with no defense. If you could actually throw then yeah

    How would this happen?
    Vitali was both better, bigger & had the stylistic advantage as an awkward boxer against a slugger.
    Briggs had no limitations re: style or being prime when he actually should have lost the decision against a nearly 49 year old Foreman.

    Vitali rarely lost a round.

    Briggs had crap stamina and was inconsistent as as my handwriting. He was also probably my fave from the 90's. Underachiever for a good reason. You'd pick a box of chocolate over any K bro :lol:

    Briggs is a bum and a fraud.
