    The heavyweight divisions top-10 rankings are so shaky and biased here in 2010, I can not find a reason not to rate Briggs in at # 9 or 10... Yes, Briggs is top-10 despite his ass-kicking loss to Klit in Hamburg...

    Oh, I did feel Briggs was still top-10 after his title loss to Sult Iggy back in 2007... A dude as buffed and strong as Briggs will always get my consideration until he's age 40...

    He has a great chin just because he took VITLAYS shots for 12 rounds, right?

    The same way that VITLAY has a great chin because he took a couple of Lewis uppercuts, I suspect.

    I think Toney might be able to sharpshoot Briggs, yet I could also see Briggs blast out Toney. Briggs would beat Thompson and probably draw with Rahman

    Briggs loses them all unless one gets careless and he lands a very lucky shot.

    Late Ko v Rahman maybe.

    I think he stops Rock, close decision against Toney maybe, and loses against Thompson. IMO

    Briggs took a big time clubbing in that fight. He is 38 and prob will be off for almost a year.

    well like barret briggs fought with heart and guts and for once didnt gas and tried the whole time

    but the damage he took i doubt hell be the same and i hope if he comes back he is careful

    one fight i think he could take is an old guy fight vs Holy

    I don't think Briggs should retire.

    For one, his stamina is as good as ever. His power will never leave him, and his chin is absolute granite so long as he doenst punch himself out, ala Lewis.

    There is no doubt he still has a million to make vs the likes of Toneys Rahmans Valuevs etc. He just doesn't need to be fighting guys like Vitali or Wlad.

    I think he could probably get that KO vs Haye, and capture the WBA, but I doubt he'd get the shot while Haye still holds the strap.

    But hey, Im being selfish because I love to watch him fight. If he could make millions elsewhere, more power to him. I'd rent the movie just to back his acting career.

    I think he'd make a better BA than Rampage did.:lol:

    Briggs took a bad pounding from Vitali. Chances are it'll take him too long to work his way back to a title shot
