    No it doesn't . Archie Moore said Yvon Durelle was a harder puncher than Marciano do you believe that?
    Do you think Vitali would handle a 26years old Briggs as he did a 39years old one?
    If you think that in comparing the 26years old 30-1-0 Briggs who fought Lewis ,[a Briggs who had just beaten Foreman,] and the 39years old Briggs who hadnt beaten a contender for 4 years ,[and that one by a last round come from behind effort,] with the Briggs that fought Vitali , those facts aren't relevant , you are in la la land .

    The Briggs that fought Lewis was a legitimate ranked contender,[ no 5 ,]who had just beaten a lineal champion
    The Briggs that faced Vitali was an unranked has been, 13years older, pumped and juiced up on PED's

    Your statement was absolutely discredited by my reply and the facts I provided, but you have neither the balls, nor the courtesy to admit it.

    I'm wasting my time with conversing a fool.

    :lol:

    As a Tyson fanboy you're always desperately trying to sell people on your belief that Tyson was the best.

    You're knowledgeable?! :rofl

    If Vitali was as good as your trying to make him out to be, he wouldn't have got his face torn off in the first fight and that too by a guy who was already considering retirement and near enough 40 years old.

    Lewis didn't need to rematch him and if he had, Vitali would be wearing an eyepatch today and would have had no legacy. Not that he has much of one anyway.

    Any decent version of Lewis beats Vitali.

    His decision to retire was more due to the fact that he realised it was time to hang them up, why lose to a lower calibre of fighter who you knew you would have handled easily when you were younger.

    He would have crushed just as badly if not worse then he did to the 2010 version. Briggs was 20 pounds skinnier with no cardio, unquestionably less heart and less experience. HE certainly wouldn't have been doing the chicken dance that Briggs made Lewis do and he wouldn't have lost the first 2 rounds like Lewis did.

    That statement suites me more appropriately, I am definitely wasting my time conversing with a senile old fool.

    Lewis was chased into an impromptu and unplanned retirement. He made every excuse on postponing and dismissing the fight, like saying he wouldn't fight unless Vitali was cleared by doctors(even after Vitali was clearly by 3 doctors in Germany and US), said he wouldn't fight because Vitali only wanted it in Germany. When Lewis realized the choices were either: fight and lose, get stripped of his titles or retire he chose the later.

    On fighting Vitali Lewis said: "That was my hardest fight against the strongest opponent and hardest puncher I faced."

    :hi:

    The underlined is complete fantasy BULL****.

    Briggs won the 1st rd 10-9
    Briggs wonthe 2ns rd 10 - 9
    Lewis won the 3rds rd 10-9
    Lewis won the 4th rd10-7 [2kd's]
    Lewis knocked Briggs down in the 5th
    he got up, swung and missed and fell flat on his face ,at which point Frank Cappucino stopped the fight.

    Briggs was seconds away from being knocked out when it was stopped .


    Here is the fight.

    Vitalis punch power is severely overrated.

    Rahman and Mcall kod Lewis, Vitaliti hit Lewis with probably more shots thsn anyone had and didn't even knock him down.

    Holyfield fought Lewis twice and was nowhere near close to being stopped.

    Vitali is overrated, he became a legend purely on a loss. Lewis doesn't need Vitali, he was great without him

    The fact that he is the HW champ with the highest KO% and all these guys are saying "he is the biggest puncher I have faced" gives zero basis for your argument.

    How is that supporting your argument that Vitali's power is overrated? Keep on subject.

    You are just using Lewis to levy an irrational anti Klitschko argument that you do quite often.
    The second there is a Lewis vs Tyson thread, in your fantasy Lewis will be transformed into a glass jawed bum by your rhetoric.

    Lewis had him on the floor three times in the last 2 rounds how the **** was he lucky to win that fight?
    Do you realise how absurd that statement confirms you are?

    Watch the fight before making anymore moronic statements.:patsch

    Again I was talking about the Lewis Klitschko fight. Your dementia is seriously kicking in.

    This is getting downright embarrassing now.

    He hit Briggs flush all night and couldn't drop him.
    Lewis dropped Briggs three times before stopping him .
    He hit Chisora all night without dropping him Haye took Chisora out and Chisora was also wobbled in 2 recent fights.
    He hit Lewis flush without dropping him, Lewis has been koed twice.

    Do you know what logic is ?





    Well you don't possess it!

    What's embarrassing is you not having the guts to admit you were wrong with your statement that

    "Briggs was fighting at the same top contender level he had been for the past 15 years".


    Grow some balls and admit you were wrong.
