Briggs has some pop and a decent chin. But a guy with asthma shouldn't blow up to 270 lbs, even if it is almost pure muscle. He can still end a fight with one punch, but with his diminished punch output, I don't see him winning any decisions. I think he'd make a great fight for Haye.
an excerpt from the wiki page from USA gold medal swimmer Tom Dolan of the University of Michigan
Tom Dolan (born September 15, 1975 in Arlington, ******ia) is a swimmer from the United States, who won a gold medal and silver medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics and a gold medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics. He swam for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, under the guidance of coach Jon Urbanchek, just like two of his main rivals Eric Namesnik and Marcel Wouda.
Started with the Curl-Burke Swim Club, Dolan held the world record in the 400 m individual medley longer than any other swimmer in history (eight years), including Tamás Darnyi, Alex Baumann, Jesse Vassallo, Charles Hickcox, **** Roth and Ted Stickles. He is only the second swimmer to win successive 400 m I.M. Olympic gold medals (1996 and 2000), along with Hungary's Darnyi.
At 6'6" tall and with 3% body fat, Dolan was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma and a 20% windpipe obstruction, which would side-line the normal person.He only trained harder and exhaustion, dizziness and occasional blackouts never stopped him from swimming. Coached by Rick Curl and later Urbancheck, Dolan also set two world records, won two gold medals in World Championship swimming, won nine NCAA National Championships and fourteen U.S. National Championships. He was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) in 2006.
