Whats the word on Brock? Brewster? Briggs?

For various reasons, I think all three should retire. They're all in their 30s, and none of the three will ever get another huge payday.

Hopefully, they have invested well, and they will enjoy their financial security while pursing different lines of work.

Brewster's done even if he fights again. He might fight some second-tier guys for the money, but his last fight made it blatant that his heart just isn't in it anymore, and that he's more concerned about his health than winning. If he continues to fight, it will be against guys who shouldn't pose much of a threat, just to get a few more paydays in.

Not 100% sure about the other two. Brock will be out for a while with injuries, and the jury's still out as to whether he'll try to contend again, become a gatekeeper, or retire. Considering he has other means of income that require full use of his brain, and that he's obviously not top-tier, I'd say that retiring might end up being the best option. With his name, he could probably make good money banking.

Briggs said he retired, but has waffled since. I suspect he'd take another big fight if the opportunity arose, but he seems to want to get more focused on acting. His career goals just conflict too much for both to work. He'll never be an elite boxer again without losing a lot of bulk (which exacerbates his asthma), but he won't get acting roles without looking like a blown-up cartoon character. He seems to be having trouble getting roles on a regular basis, and his last couple fights didn't make him as much money as he would have liked, so I suspect he'll be back in the ring, but I doubt he ever becomes a contender again.

Brew's still got some mileage left, but needs to
stay away from Wlad, esp. when Wlad has a good night's sleep.The first fight was legit, but Wlad had a bad night's sleep.
He had a great night's sleep before the rematch!
Briggs? MMA?
Brock? Still can beat the likes of Peter/Golota.
Brigg's? Well, Shannon needs to move on to the MMA
Brock? Top tier, needs to feed on Golota, and others. etal.
