    You're comparing a 20 year old and a guy who took a dive to the prime version of Wlad who never sought to rematch Sanders? :patsch

    The version of Sanders that fought Wlad was pretty much at the end of his rope. He was 38 and virtually retired. Why match that version of Sanders with prime Briggs?
    Why not the version of Sanders that ko'd Bert Cooper, for example?

    I picked 38 Sander because, that fight against Wladimir was his best performance as a pro. Just like people saying 36 year old Wladimir is better than ever.

    Would have actually been pretty strange if Vitali could knock him out like Lewis did considering Viti is an arm puncher.
    One of the heaviest punching arm punchers... still doesn't come close to Lewis or Wlad in terms of short term power output.

    Yes, I'm saying Vitali isn't a power puncher.

    Oh you mean Pacquiao wasn't in his chin prime yet? Is that what you're saying? When he got the living **** knocked out of him by a nobody in his 27th fight? :lol: I thought only the dumbest Klittards subscribed to that theory but you're something else.

    And of course Dempsey 'took a dive' which is a more convenient 'truth' than the truth told by the man himself.

    You guys keep using double-standards and look terribly pathetic.

    You're not talking to the point. You keep evading the question at hand.

    Either Pacman and Dempsey are 'weak' and so is Wlad. Or neither of the three is 'weak' because of their KO losses. You can't have one and the other, deal with it.

    Deal with it :deal

    He always relied on accumulation of force rather than a single punch or combination. I don't think many people dispute that.

    20 year olds are rarely fully developed physically or mentally, so no he was not prime. And no boxer wants to admit he took a dive no matter the evidence to support it. Stop acting all butthurt because Wlad didn't rematch Sanders. The hero worship on here is ridiculous.

    my point is..... yes he beat the white wolf. thats the joke . briggs biggest win in 56 fights is against the white wolf :rofl

    briggs was a big bully who beat up nothing but cans his entire career and lost to anyone halfway decent. corrie sanders would have punched a hole in his face.

    so simplistic and easy to say that blue print would always work against tyson. :rofl

    tony tucker had a better jab than douglas, a better uppercut and much much better KO% , undefeated at 35-0 and Tyson nearly shut him out and got hit seldom.

    tyon ****ing every girl in japan, partying, having 9 title fights, 38-0, over 100 million bucks made , all by the time he was 23 years old is why he ended up losing to buster douglas. fame, lack of training and ego. and credit douglas for being hungry and kicking his ass when he had his chance

    No I only get butthurt when I hear **** like "Wlad is a weak champion cause he got knocked out by a bums 10 years ago". It's the double standards I don't get, that's all.

    We had the same **** a year ago or so when someone started a thread "Vitali is not a true champion cause he quit against Byrd". And then some dude showed him a video of Duran quitting and asking tongue-in-cheek "So Duran's is also not a true champion?". And out they came with a dozen excuses just like you did. It's always the same :deal

    I don't think Wlad is a weak champion. But he has been ko'd on his prime whether you like that or not. and Vittle was a true champion for exactly 1 fight and than he retired and came back to play second fiddle.

    And I didn't come out with any excuses, I pointed out facts. You choose to call them excuses because you're unable to argue against them.

    I like Sanders by stoppage. Briggs barely got a draw with Botha, the lesser South African.

    Sanders had a good amateur background. I don't know what you're talking about.
