Yes, Briggs is past it. Briggs did stay in there. don't know why as I think the fight should have been stopped. Vitali is older as well, you can't comprehend that fact? Lets see Haye, Povetkin and others take what Briggs did. If you think Vitali was scared of Rahman like Jazzo does, thats F****D up. Not saying you are, just asking? Lets have everyone else including Haye, Povetkin...etc..etc STEP the F**K up if the Klitschko's are so bad. End of thread!
Vitali has had multiple surgeries, shoulder, back, etc... he's 39-years-old, a champion kickboxer before boxing, taking all of that info consideration his comeback is even more amazing. And it's not even a matter of Haye pulling out now....he won't even sign the contract!
Exactly, I can't believe people are proclaiming Briggs is greater than Foreman, Ali, and Liston. I see it every other thread, its sickening. People have no clue. I'm not sure anyone is even aware of this....but outside of beating up a few cans Briggs has been inactive for some time and was actually unranked? Can you believe that? I haven't heard one mention of this on the entire forums. I can't believe how smart you are to uncover the truth. We need more quality posters like you.
Show me where I said Briggs was better than what you listed, although Briggs beat Foreman. Put up or STFU!
Nah, before the fight there was a vibe going through ESB and amongst certain boxing analysts that Vitali would have his hands full in the rnds 1-5 and that Briggs could hurt him and finish him early. It's laughable to me now that Vitali has thoroughly dominated him everyone can do the same. Boxers like Haye, Povetkin etc. would never step into the ring with a 1-punch KO artist like Briggs who knocks out most of his opponents in the 1st round.
Cheers mongoose! I just try and stick to the facts and not get carried away, no hate in me for any fighter.
