Chances that Briggs wins vs Haye?

Briggs may not be much of a fighter any more but if there is one thing he is good at it's taking hard punches. I don't think he has ever been knocked down. Vitali gave him a vicious beating for 12 rounds and couldn't knock him down.

Vitali gave him a vicious beating for 12 rounds and couldn't knock him down. Lewis beat the hell out of him for two rounds and dropped him numerous times but that was after Briggs really hurt him in the first three rounds. Briggs actually could have kept going. He wasn't completely out of it. He's one tough bastard.

Vitali gave him a vicious beating for 12 rounds and couldn't knock him down. That's a good point. Even though it was a while ago, he took a hammering and didn't fold. I hope Briggs gets a few good payoffs before he walks away. I don't necessarily like the guy or find his antics enjoyable, but..at least he's trying to fight the top dogs. The middling weight classes are the exact opposite, it's not about who you want to fight, but about who you want to avoid.

Briggs is showing off his sword on instagram. David better watch his back.

Zero. He will be in England and it appears he is trying some business ventures like a reality show and spoke with Hearns about opportunities. However, Briggs is old, he cannot beat any of the upper level HWs. Haye is an elite HW in his prime and should easily knockout Briggs. David Haye is 35 years old, and didn't look all that explosive against de Mori at almost 230lbs. Though he's largely been fighting stiffs since coming back in 2014 (8-0, 7 KO's), Briggs walks into any fight 6'4", about 250lbs, with an 80" reach, decent boxing fundamentals, and pop. If Haye looks as suspect as he did in January in May, I wouldn't hold my breath on Haye wrecking Briggs (even knowing how old he is).

I give Wilder a very good chance to beat Haye. Haye is more polished and experienced but Wilder has some things going for him. Neither guy has the greatest chin and both of them punch very hard. Wilder is younger, naturally bigger and stronger and has even faster hands than Haye in my opinion. Wilder has a big edge in stamina and averages throwing over twice as many punches per round as Haye. Wilder has never lost while Haye has lost twice and once by KO. Hayes ko was more about him running out of gas chasing a ko against a durable opponent. Not ever looked like being koed since.

Haye too fast, too smart. Hope Shannon gets a nice payday. That's what this is all about anyway.

When I look at Shannon Briggs, I see a lot of Ken Shamrock. Phenomenal physique, ripped with bulk. But likely to fold like a cheap deck chair when hit.Briggs may not be much of a fighter any more but if there is one thing he is good at it's taking hard punches.

Just a punchers chance. He will gas after 2 to 3 rounds, hopefully haye doesnt hurt him too bad.

Haye is too skilled to lose to Briggs. Haye has not shown to have the ability to get stopped. Haye will land some heavy shots on Briggs who has no defense. I watched Brigg's last fight and he is just holding his right arm but doesn't even unload it.

He will KO Haye. :unitedsta

He is a big HW with power so you can never completely discount his chances & Haye has been real inactive but with that said its almost impossible to see happening. Briggs even at his peak all of 15 years ago was never anything too write home about. Discounting that farce vs Big George his best win off the top of my head is probably Liakovich & that was in a fight Briggs was badly behind in and pulled it out of his ass in the dying moments. He was a total punchbag even 15+ years ago nevermind approaching 45 years of age. Still I'll be rooting for him and praying he lands a Hail Mary. LETS GO CHAMP! :boxing:

Haye is hard to hit, and Briggs fights so aggressively that he is pretty much wide open. It's going to be a massacre with Briggs taking big punishment.
