Shannon Briggs comments on Lennox, Foreman and Vitali

Well thankfully we saw VK against Lewis in the ring and even as declined as Lewis was there was only one winner.

 

I don't think Vitali hit Briggs harder than those guys, he just hit him far more often.
Briggs took such a steady and constant beating I wouldn't put much stock in what he said, he was fortunate to say anything at all.

 

Yes but your not taking account of recency bias and thhe fact Briggs was a husk by the time he fought Vitali.
So it doesn't mean anything if you want to conflate it in your tiny brain that's upto you.

 

of course. “ the guy who I went the distance with at 38 was better than the one who beat the dog shlt out of me at 25.” So convincing

 

Lewis stopped Briggs in the latter's prime, VK stomped him the distance when Shannon was well past it. I don't think there are many here whom would agree Vitali was a greater ATG than Lewis.

 

Stop lying. He gave Lewis a tough fight. Vitali is the guy who beat the dog**** out of Briggs.

Maybe Briggs is “biased” because he ended up in the hospital with broken bones in his face after fighting Vitali.

 

Briggs did rock the hell and almost stop Lennox in the first round. Might be because I haven't seen the fight in awhile, but I don't recall him doing too much after. I could be wrong.

 

ATG is nothing.
Reality is that in rematch former late replacement Vitaly most likely had KOed Lewis.
And yeah, both: Levis in rematch and also prime Wlad too.

While I don't think that he was the best ever.
And yup, prime Ali in good night he most likely had turned into a praplegic: Ali is most overrated boxer world ever had.Ever.
Overrated as shame from hell Ali.

 

He won the first round against Lewis and rocked him. Lewis took over and gave Briggs a beating as the fight progressed, but Briggs was game and had his moments.

Briggs—Vitali was simply one of the worst beat downs in the history of heavyweight title fights (after a few feel out rounds).

 

RulesMakeitInteresting was gracious to you, but better to call you out on what was clearly an unfair, irrational assumption.
That he was lying about a fight outcome.
To paraphrase "Idiocracy" "Why come you cannot done thunk that somebody can be wrong (assuming you are not incorrect), not remember right, or anything but assuming a LIE absent any good reason?

This kind of negativity & cynicism is part of what divides the world, & certainly America.
Where people assume anyone on their "side" (politically or another tribal alliance) must have bad intentions.
Not granting them the human decency they presume to attribute to themselves.

 

Did I say he was lying? Please show me where I said that I didn't....

No you're just a Vitali fanboy.

I clearly said it was recency bias considering that Briggs had fought Forman and Lewis over a decade beforehand.

If you don't know what that is then look it up.

It's also irrelevant who was up on the cards as Lewis was clearly is control the last couple of rounds and stopped Vitali by smashing his face in.

TK06.

Your last point negates the fact that Briggs was over a decade older and shot at that point so could only stand there and take the beating of Vitali.

Lewis knocked out a vastly better version of Briggs.. Vitali coudn't and Vitali at peak lost to an old Lewis and was stopped.
So yeah you're actually wrong on every count.

Well done.

 

Ah.

 

Lewis stopped a prime Briggs. Stop lying
