Anyway, Briggs is gonna get a big fight now, within a year for sure, maybe within 6 months. If the guy has any sense at all he will start training right away, get his weight down to the 250 lb. range and take advantage of this opportunity to win a really big fight and get a big payday in the future. With his power he could probably knock out some of the other top 20 heavyweights. The younger, faster, durable ones [like Sam Peter, Brock, Chagaev, Dominick Guinn, etc.] would still beat him in my opinion by taking him into the later rounds when his age and excess weight would start to take their toll.

If Briggs is smart and can't motivate himself to train down then he should try hard to get a fight with an older, slower heavyweight that won't test his stamina. Guys like Danny Williams, Sinan Samil Sam, James Toney, DaVarryl Williamson would be good choices. A rematch with Jameel McCline sounds like a darn good fight to me, 2 big heavyweights that have both been busy and trying to work their way back up the ranks.


Yes thats all reall true what i said here . . . Young and who got some ability and power with skills like Samuel Peter,Calvin Brock,RUslan Chagaev would KO Bringgs with a big chance . . . With Guinn i am not sure and it would be a close fight i guess... Because i dont see Guinn so good as he is . . .

From hhe ones over 30 Danny Williams and Williamson would close VS Briggs and Sinan Samil Sam too or even some better ... Hmmm James Toney would get the UD easy i think VS Briggs but who would get the KO would i would give more chance to Briggs but Toney got good chin...

I think a McCline re-macht would the best thing for Briggs or Whitaker ! ! !
