    Rahman all day. Briggs would get outwork and eventually knocked out as he gasses

    Rahman.

    Rock is so under rated these days.

    Briggs.

    It will the chin (and the peds) that make the difference in this one.

    50/50 fight for me. Would have been a good scrap.

    This......and like SJS19 says, Rahman is so underrated these days. The guy was a beast in his prime, and even now, he's still a threat to the lower tiered contenders.

    But, same goes for Briggs. Rahman BEAT a much higher LOC in his prime though. Briggs just didnt get enough big fights.

    Hard to pick a winner. Either way, it aint going to the cards.:think

    Briggs would have beaten Rahman easily unless he had an asthma attack. Better handspeed, and coordination....more skilled and just a better fighter.

    I'd sway towards Briggs, mainly due to the fact he can take a big punch and Rahman can't.

    Tend to favor this too. Briggs was fast as hell & could throw serious power punches but I think Rock overall would win with some vicious body shots. In their primes this woulda been so awesome - i'd like to see it now even. People give Rock no credit but dude was really a beast when prepared. His beatdown of Kali Meehan was quite fun to watch.

    They better reinforce that "Fantasy" ring those are some big boys right there...
    I'd pick a (prime) Shannon Briggs better chin & power.
