At 39 Years Of Age & 250 Lbs., Vitali Averaged 60 Punches Per Round Vs Briggs.

He threw 1000+ punches against Johnson.

 

Everyone knows that Soviet sporting success was built on living in a utopia and the athletes desire to compete in the name of world wide communism.

That or they just trained their entire lives because sport is their job. Credit to the sport both of them.

 

I will argue till I'm blue in the face that he doesn't have ATG power, what I will never argue is the guys conditioning and output, simply amazing.

 

I think Vitali, like Manny and Floyd, is a natural born fighter. Many people bash him and his brother by calling them 'boring', but that's running so dry now. They are an exceptional dua of boxers, and they deserve a lot of respect for their ability to remain so dominant.

 

his stamina is insane. he didnt even look tired or winded. vitali reigns supreme.

 

I don't think so, it's the standard of opposition that got better.

Larry Donald - 10 rounds
Vaughn Bean - 11 rounds
Ross Puritty - 11 rounds
Timo Hoffman - 12 rounds

As for his pre Byrd years that's all padding against aweful/past it fighters.
The man's always had good sustained power, with an amazingly high output, just not a ko puncher.

 

Has anyone pointed out that a decade an a half after a prime Briggs was spanked around and then put to sleep by Lennox in five, the shell of Briggs lasts the distance with the amazing, unbeatable H2H GOAT Vitali?

 

This. Yes, the K bros are in good shape, but anyone can throw punches all night when not getting punched back.

 

you said it yourself. an overweight old, slow and out of shape lewis beat Klitschko. and he ****es up briggs in 4 rounds

klitschko is THAT good.
