    Briggs wasn't in good shape at all, he was 262lbs for gods sake!
    The only reason he didn't completely gass was because he threw basically no punches throughout the beatdown.

    -"No way in hell could Briggs hang in there for 12 rds and take that beating had he been burping and farting off the sofa with Dorito's and Kool-Aid during training.."- Mr. Bill :rasta

    -Yes, I said he conserved his energy.

    I thought "conserving engergy" wasn't strong enough a phrase to describe his non-existant punch-output.

    Briggs is a big-ass mutha' nowadays... 263 looks fine on him since he increased his calorie intake and began roiding while pumping iron... His stamina has always sucked, but his power and strength is there for sure... Briggs is just a hulking dude... At 263 he doesn't look fat or slobbish, he's just super thick and bulky with muscle... And, even though Briggs is way bigger nowadays compared to 15 years ago, he still has quick hands when he wants to flurry, but his legs are stuck in the mud for sure...

  5. Vitali is great huh? Fight Lennox Lewis and George Foreman's sloppy seconds from over 10 years ago and getting credit for it.

    Briggs said Vitali hit harder than Foreman. Briggs beat Foreman, and had a moment or two vs. Lewis. But when he fought Vital, it was utter domination with a heavy dose of pain mixed in.

    Except Briggs was 12years past prime and Vitali threw the kitchen sink at him and couldn't put him away

    Only difference being ,when Briggs fought Lewis ,he was 25, and had just beaten George Foreman 4 months earlier.
    Briggs was also at his optimum weight of 227, and was a top 5, Ring rated heavyweight . Not the juiced up, 38 year old, unranked man that Vitali met 12 years later.
     
  9. The Thing is Briggs didnt Beat Foreman, The thing is Foreman was 48 fat slow and didnt give a damn about boxing and chased a younger lighter Briggs around the ring. The thing is Briggs is a idiot. He said Vitali hit harder than Lewis as well even though Lewis knocked his dumb ass out.

    The thing is when Foreman and Lewis fought Briggs they were bashed even though they both fought a prime Briggs. The thing is Vitali faced a washed up Briggs who didnt fight back and still couldnt get rid of him.

    The thing is Vitali is a joke and I doubt he could beat a washed up Foreman or Lewis..
     
  10. Mendoza you said Briggs in the 90's couldnt take a punch but this verison could? Don't watch boxing much do you? If anything you chin gets worse with age not better. Being a out of shape steroid slob which is basically what Briggs is now doesn't make your chin better.

    Lewis got him out of there because Lewis is a far harder puncher than Vitali. Foreman's power made Briggs run and Foreman never really landed any clean punches in their fight. You know why Briggs ran? Because he feared Foreman's power.

    Get over it, your boys Wlad and Vitali are overrated and do more cherry picking than Pacquaio

    It was a savage beating but not on the level of Dempsey Willard

    The ref and Briggs' corner should have been banned from boxing for not stopping it. What condition is Briggs in now? Vitali was also cheated out of yet another knockout in the record books.
     
  14. No I would say you were wrong. Foreman's chin wasn't better. You act as if he was knocked down all the time when he was younger. He was knocked down by Ali because of Fatigue to Young because of a heat stroke. Lyle knocked him down fair and square.

    The older you get the more fluid you lose around your brain and in boxing terms that means you get knocked down easier. It's not a personal opinion it is a fact.

    Vitali beat around a fat slob Briggs for 12 rounds and couldnt stop him. There is no way in hell a prime Foreman would t-off on any version of Briggs for 12 rounds and not stop him. Hell there is no version of any Foreman who t-off against any verison of Briggs for 3 rounds and not stop him. Vitali is overrated period.

    "Vitali beat around a fat slob Briggs.."

    Fat slob? Briggs was 262 pounds of solid muscle.
