    He goes on to say "Give me one! Just one, besides me!"

    In another video I heard him say "I'm not the greatest heavyweight of all time, but I'm the greatest asthmatic of all time."

    I always laugh at this because . . . Tyson had asthma. It is well-known that Tyson would run rampant in early rounds because of his fear that he would run out of breath.

    I don't recall the Tyson documentary saying it was asthma but I do recall a degenerative lung issue. Thought he developed it after Prison.

    Briggs needs to stop looking for sympathy, he chooses to box despite his condition, good on him but whatever disadvantage he puts himself at is his own choice. You never hear Lance Armstrong claiming to be "the greatest one testicled cyclist in the world".

    Lance Armstrong beat 3 kinds of cancers. His one testicle is the size of 3 normal men's balls.

    Not counting his testicle being huge from cancer.

    I think the illegal substance that Briggs tested positive for has caused his diarrhea of the mouth.
