Short & Sweet: Briggs vs. "Toney, Thompson or Rahman?"

I think he needs to retire ... beatings like that especially at his age just aren't worth it.
Maybe if they had stopped it in the 7th he could have recovered quickly but after that beating he should take at least a year off and by then he will really be too old.

 

Toney would decision him.

He might be able to beat Rahman and Thompson tought.

So MrBill you have both Sosnowski and Briggs in your top-10? Could you show your entire Top-10 list?

 

"Rebound"? :blood

Bill, he shouldn't have been fighting for a title in the first place!

Shannon needs to go away.

He helped erase some of the memory of his horrible performances against Sergei and Sultan by showing a lot of heart and hardiness in taking a beating - but come on. He's no contender. He's not even a good gatekeeper, really. He's gone on record saying he doesn't even like boxing and is just in it to score quick knockouts and collect a check (which he won't be doing against anyone with a pulse anymore, ever again).

Go away, Shannon. Goodbye.

Post-script: Toney and Rahman really should call it a day, too. Thompson is the only one that's shown he's making a really serious run at another shot.

 

Briggs would beat Tony Thompson? How?

If the KO loss to WK has you thinking he's got a weak chin...he doesn't. He would box figure eights around the Briggs that lost to Vitali. Briggs would be every bit as outclassed...it would just be less painful.

 

:good

Harrison is bit high and lots of oldtimers in there, but I like your list.

I have it something like this

Champs: V.K., W.K. & David Haye

1. Adamek
2. Chagaev
3. Povetkin
4. Chambers
5. Valuev
6. Thompson
7. Peter
8. Dimitrenko
9. Solis
10.Toney

But as you said division is pretty shallow and most fighters could easily be ranked higher or lower

 

It's pretty hard to punch yourself out when you don't throw any punches.

 

anyone putting Briggs, Holyfield or Toney in the top ten is crazy.
