    Two roided freaks fightin' with little skill doesn't interest me. It will be a stinker with Briggs not coming out for the 10th.

    Briggs doesn't look fat, its 262 pounds of muscles ready to destroy vitali inside 4 rounds max or he die but he is trying the home run, no other choices I guess

    briggs is just a natural heavy guy, huge muscles head arms hands feet etc

    he IS in shape for sure

    makes me laugh guys calling him outta shape , briggs got great genetics

    I would love to see the couch potatoes saying that LOL


    sadly briggs got fast hands but Vitali got everythign else

    Ha, I agree stocky built, to say the least, but I would have expected him to come in better condition, I mean come on this is a title shot against a Klit.......But then again Arreola did the same thing,.....I honestly think alot of HW guys think it is hopeless and they will lose no matter what so figure, what the hell?... Why bother, I'll eat like I feel like it, and train as hard (or soft) as I want....and still get paid......:-(

    sad, ah well so who is going to chum up to pay to watch it on PPV??... I think maybe, just maybe I will catch it on ESPN for the replay...but if I make it the ESB forum first I might now...

    Look at Briggs in the later 90s, against Lewis, Foreman, etc... That was an in shape Briggs. He had some muscle, but he was lean and in shape. He's 30+ pounds north of that weight now.

    I wonder what would happen if Briggs won. He says he'd go after Haye, but chances are Haye would want no part of him (especially coming off a stoppage win against Vitali)

    He looked fitter in the recent videos then he did at the weigh in video.
    I was expecting somewhere in the 250's.

    I don't see how its realistic for Briggs to get down to 240. The man is built like a bodybuilder (no doubt he trains like one too :bart) and is 6'4

    It's possible...Briggs weighed 240 10-years ago.

    Vitali weighed in at 248.5 10-years ago, and 250.5 today.

    Yes, that's what I'm saying. :good

    If Vitali can weigh basically the same 10-years apart, Briggs could too, if he had wanted.

    I know that but he was growing still , muscle maturity is best at 40 ,

    cant tell me hes not in shape, it he became a distance runner he would lose weight but also lose his advantages

    this fite altho favouring vitali will be exciting briggs fights good and will be there:good
