briggs isn't really a pure slugger like peter. In fact briggs brings a style that could frustrate klitschko because briggs can actually box, unlike peter, and he brings deceiving power to the table that could definately hurt wlad if he catches him flush. i expect a shutout from wladimir though just because briggs is someone i consider a skill level lower than wlad, wk should and prolly will box his ears off. i wouldn't be suprised to see wk get a ko
This fight is not official yet. Wladimir is waiting til after tonight's showdown between Maskaev/Rahman to make an announcement. If Rahman wins, Wlad is going to sign on and fight Hasim Rahman. If Maskaev wins Wlad will face Briggs. Wlad vs Rahman will be the biggest heavyweight showdown since Wlad vs Peter last year. Both Wlad and the Rock will make the most money by facing one another and it will determine who the best heavyweight champ is.
If Wlad stopped Briggs in less than a round it still wouldn't be the win of his career. I don't regard Briggs any higher than say Charles Shufford or Derrick Jefferson.
