    Vitali seemed 2 do more damage then Lewis or Foreman. Whether he hits harder is debatable.

    Briggs just felt the accumulation power which in return could have felt greater than the demolishing he got from Lewis.

    I would also say, especially when you are fatigued and taking power shots they start to hurt a lot more.

    Oh, and when you are OLDER and been around the block more than few times.

    Well said.

    Vitali hit old Briggs with everything but the kitchen sink for 12 rounds, whereas Lewis demolished Peak Briggs in 5 rounds.
    I consider Lewis to be a vastly harder puncher, but Vitali gave a shot Briggs a sustained beating which probably damaged him more physically & mentally.

    A lot of them like to rave about his KO percentage as proof of his power.

    Well remember this - Lewis getting the hand raised at the end of the fight and having a great big juicy W on his record. Also remember the ridiculous amount of stitches Vitty needed :good
