    All respects for Briggs. He never went down, never backed down and never quit. :good
     
  3. Vitali is almost 40 years old what do you expect:huhyou lose your pop when you get to that age...
    He never had Wlad's power to begin with....

    No, you say it as a hater. Let it all out...I know it must hurt so bad to see the Klitschko brothers win time and time again....what is that 22 straight now?
    Oh how it must hurt.

    Gotta remember the corruption factor in boxing. He could have been carrying him. I mean come on, I know there were a few saying it would go the distance but very few. Some folks cleaned up at the betting windows I'm sure.

    If you can hurt people the way he does with arm punches, you're QUITE heavy-handed. But he's not explosive. He's like Librado Andrade only ...with much more skill and ...****ing arm punches. Even the bigger shots, he doesn't have the follow-through.

    :lol:

    Anyway, I think Vitali's KO power is suffering due to the armpunching style he now uses.

    If he were full bore committed to the powershots, it would have been a different outcome, but, even as a massive VK fan, I gotta also admit that his power is not showing itself as much, lately.

    Not due to his lack of physical strength, but his techique.

    I wonder why he don't see this and start using his entire body for his powershots, again........???:huh His operated on back not allowing it, or what?

    Even if Haye does hit harder than Vitali, what exactly does that mean. He hit five times harder than the Valuev, who hadn't had a ko in 4 years...And Haye landed exactly 1 damaging punch in 12 rounds. Haye backed out of his fight with Vitali for one good reason: he'd be on his back if he hadn't. It's one thing for a natural heavyweight like Shannon Briggs to withstand 12 rounds of punishment from Vitali and live to tell about it, it's quite another for a blownup cruiserweight. Amazing how Haye has won convert without doing anything.

    What up with all the Haye BS? Do some of you really think he could beat either Klitschko? Or are you just British?

    You really can't trust a fighters opinion especially after just being defeated. The pain of the Vitali's defeat is still fresh while the pain of the beating he took from Lewis is a distant memory.

    It is pretty obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that Vitali gave Briggs the worst sustained beating of his career but thats only because he was luckily saved by the ref against Lewis, who was knocking him all over place even worse than Vitali was though for a shorter duration. Had the ref allowed the fight to continue Lewis would have totally ruined Briggs that night.

    **** off you piece of ****. As if Haye has the skills to hang with either Klitschko brother, you prove your ignorance with posts like that. For the record, the weakest Heavyweight divisions were when Jack Johnson, Louis, Marciano, Holmes & Tyson fought. :deal

    The point that many of you morone who have never laced up a pair of gloves are missing is that it is better to be a consistently hard puncher than it is a guy who throws 3 or 4 bombs a round. Vitali has almost all of his fights won by the third round because almost all of his punches are hard shots that wear guys down. But the middle rounds, fighters have virtually no shot to win the fight because he has worn them down. It may not make the highlight reels, but its a smart way to fight.
