I liked Victor Galindez, Bob Foster, and Virgil Hill and maybe Galindez and Foster could have beaten Jones but I don't think Hill could have.
I also think two of the best who never made champion were
Yaqui Lopez and Jorge Ahumada.
The returning Lamon Brewster, a former WBO heavyweight champ, is making it very clear that he is ready to take on all comers. Currently making moves to return to the ring after recuperating from an eye injury, Brewster is certainly not avoiding a single fighter at his weight. details]
I think Brewster is one of the best, yet underrated and undertrained, heavyweights out there. He needs to take the sport more seriously.
I think he can easily defeat Briggs to capture a portion of the title. We'll see.
