Washington, arreola and stiverne beat sosnowski Disagree At the time of each defense I think Sosnowski beats them 2 out of 3 at least Washington and arreola beat Briggs. Stiverne would be interesting. Agree Washington, arreola and probably stiverne beat Johnson I pick Johnson over Stiverne and Arreola This is not prime vs prime
Ruiz has the great distinction of losing to two former Middleweights One of which whose Chin was so bad he got KOed on 3 different continents. Ruiz was absolutely awful and only got where he was because of his crooked promoter. We all saw how neutered and bad Ruiz was when he wasn’t allowed to use his illegal tactics like holding, grabbing, wrestling, clinching, and faking low blows. He literally didn’t know what to do it was pure comedy watching this disgrace try and actually ‘fight’.
sosnowski? Far and away the worst. 5 fights before vitali UD win over 8-4 Terrell Wilson UD loss to 23-14 zuri Lawrence TKO win over 40-6 Danny Williams Draw with 18-0 pianeta UD over 26-8 paulo vidoz 5 fights after vitali TKO win over 12-11 Paul butlin KO loss to 30-1 Dimitrenko Draw with 22-64 rasani SD loss to 27-2 Kevin Johnson SD win over 25-16 maurice harris
What matters are the fights before, and the victory to Danny Williams and to Vidoz plus the tie against Pianeta that I gave him the winner make without a doubt the best cv before the fight for the title of the 6
A loss, a draw and wins over shot Williams, vidoz and a no mark who was 8-4 get you a shot at the wbc. Hmmm.
Dont avoid the discussion, which of the other 5 had a better previous streak or deserved more the title in your opinion? I never said Sosnowski deserved the title fight anyway
out of all 5. I would put sosnowski at the bottom. He had only beat 19 guys with winning records in 49 fights before facing vitali. Briggs was 4 years removed from winning a world title. Beat 3 guys with winning records. Got a shot. Undeserved of course. But at least he had previous at world level.
Totally disagree, you do not know how to argue what you say, just for having been champion years ago he deserves a chance for the title without beating a single known fighter and after 2 years of inactivity No way
To be fair i wanted Briggs defence. Was thinking it is going to be entertaining while it last and it kinda was but wasent fire works i expected. result was same I was thinking beforehand thought
well do you really think sosnowski who lost to lawerence, then a couple of fights after vitali lost to a guy who had been beaten 60+ times? sosnowski is the absolute worst defence by a country mile. He wasn’t on a winning streak. Didn’t beat anyone significant in the run up. Both Briggs and sosnowski were awful, but I would fancy Briggs to stop sosnowski. My opinion of course.
I prefer a defense against an active fighter, even if it is not entirely good than against an old fighter who has not fought for years and only has the name
