Oquendo vs Briggs would be 50/50 to me.
It's just more and more obvious that you don't have a clue what you're talking about. If you think Briggs has no chance against Charles Martin you're simply proving you're nuts, trolling, or both of them.

8. Bermane Stiverne
9. Bryant Jennings
10. Carlos Takam

11. Johann Duhaupas
12. Artur Szpilka
13. Vyacheslav Glazkov
14. Dominic Breazeale
15. Charles Martin
16. Gerald Washington
17. Andy Ruiz Jr.
18. Jarrell Miller
19. David Haye
20. Oscar Rivas


Still quite a few spots to go before you'd see Molina and Scott on my list from there.
I think you'll find that BoxRec rankings are pretty reputable. It's not based on 'I think he's better than him, but not as good as him' nonsense that the ABC rankings seem to work off. It's based on who you've fought, and what the outcome was.

The likes of Andy Ruiz Jr and Gerald Washington have fought absolutely nobody while the likes of Breazeale, who beat an old Mansour because he bit his tongue in two, and Martin who was handed a win against injured Glazkov. It's almost a joke that you've included Oscar Rivas. You know there's a reason he's not inside the BoxRec top 50?

At least Molina and Scott have claimed wins against top 30 opposition fairly recently.

Martin, Breazeale and Washington he'd have a chance against because those guys are largely unproven and certainly nothing special. Chisora and Whyte would beat him.
Breazeale I'd give the best chance out of the three, purely because of his toughness.
ValMar wrote:Chisora is capable to beat only "no names". He's never defeated any decent HW.
He's beaten Helenius, also Gerber and Sexton. He's not a world beater but compare his resume to Takam who's only wins ae 40 year Michael Grant, and 42 year old Tony Tompson, both years ago. Or Szpika who's only win is 37 year old Tomasz Adamek. There's really not that many with better wins than him. Or Ustinov who's best win was, eh.
He might be better against Helenius (might, again) but, I am not sure. I remembered this match as extremely close one. Was it undeserved victory for Helenius ? I have to repeat : I am not sure, it was too close. BTW, Gerber and Sexton are not "decent HWs"...
