    Im not sure how this would go, I think briggs would be too big and strong for the faded Holyfield, but the fact that Briggs only fights 30 seconds of the round and gasses means Holyfield could have a good shot at winning.

      Holyfield still has enough to dance on Briggs ass...just make Briggs swing and he will gas himself on easily...I say Holyfield by KO...Brigg gives up

        Holyfield is to old , Briggs is to big and to strong !

        Briggs proved he could inflicted lots of damage without a big punch count !

        Briggs takes out Holyfield in the same way he took out Mercer !

          I don't want to see this, most Americans want to get the titles back, taking it from each other won't do it.

            If ever a match that was tailored made for 2 guys it would be this one.

              Holyfield has great heart and recuperative powers, pretty good stamina, and a strong chin (thought not what it once was). His hands are quicker than Briggs and he has a solid punch in each of them. Even at this stage, Holyfield is too well rounded and skilled for Briggs. I'll go with a great fighter (well) passed his prime over a wide punching mediocre big man with suspect chin and abysmal stamina.

              I guess we'll really see this weekend. If Holyfield can beat Oquendo I would favor him over Briggs.

                I would actually give Evander a chance against Briggs or Maskaev. Both are exceptionally slow, although Maskaev seems to have pretty good stamina. But, Briggs admitted to being fatigued in his last bout. If Evander comes in great shape I can see him beating Briggs by a decision. Briggs did well in his last fight because it was slow paced. But, Evander can be relentless with his non-stop attack. And maybe he could tire out Briggs.

                    I cannot see Holyfield having a chance against Maskaev. Maskaev is too quick, skilled, and heavy handed and remember that he keeps his power into the late rounds even when exhausted. Briggs is the only chance Holyfield has for one last title shot. Valuev would grind him into dust over the course of 8-9 rounds and Wlad would blow him out in a handful.

                      If it would to finally get Holyfield to retire you wouldn't want to see this fight?
