    yeah, i respect Vitali I'm not a hater, but after watching this i'm convinced he can be taken by Haye now. The Vitali that fought Kirk Johnson, maybe it'd be different, but today I think Haye is too fast and too aggressive for Klitschko.

    A couple hard shots landing flush caused Briggs to quickly forget the *go after him with guns blazing* plan.........

    If it's so easy, somebody would do it.

    Truth.

    The ignorance on General is astounding.

    that's just a testament on how bad the current hw division is.

    vitali's punches were so slow and telegraphed i thought i was watching a snail crawl up a telephone pole.

    Not every fight ends in a knockout. Is this your first day?

    Not all fights end in a win either.

    Do you go round defending all the losers too?

    If you say was true then Vitali would have been using a high guard 10 years ago in his prime. Guess what: He didn't. Vitali always boxed with his arms down. That's been his style from his first fight.

    No - but they ****in well should if they were like what we saw on Sunday.

    You could of nailed Briggs to the ring he would not have lost any more mobility - and still Vitali could not put him away.

    Horrible fight which should never have occurred in the first place.

    Briggs has not gotten to be more of a threat in the 12 years since Lewis finished him in 5.

    Vitali not only won every round, but he had some 10-8 rounds as well. Sour graps by a Klitschko hater. Vitali had highest KO record, Void does not.

    I can't believe that this is the only assessment that you made after watching the fight. That was about as great a performance as you will see in boxing...in any division. If this were Mayweather, fight fans would be on his nuts.

    For some strange reason, most Heavyweight detractors always regurgitate the same herd mentality. Guys, you are witnesses to the greatest heavyweight in the history of the sport. His name is Vitali Klitschko.

    Get used to hearing that. It's only a matter of time before everyone recognizes this.

    That is what Vitali does since his comback. He is no longer a one-punch-knockouter. He threw armpunches in all that fights nearly the whole time.

    I thought it is to save stamina and not to break his hands again.

    I rather want to be killed by Wladimir in the first round than to be tortured by Vitali for 12 rounds without having any chances to hurt him badly or even to win.

    You see this big man who is hitting you all the time and you cant reach him because of his agility and height ...

    This is true dominance.
