    So you did a search for erotic photos of male boxers I guess? I'm pretty sure those pics were intended for females not gay boxing fans such as yourself :D

    wlad was interested in olympian ice skater katherina witt, but she wasn't. anyway, this is not your business. would you be satisfied if wlad had straight sex in front of you? so everyone who doesn't show his heterosexuality in public is automatically gay?

    it has some gay aesthetic, but it's no gay act.

    this is close, but they are sleeping not making out. that picture obviously wants to create a mirror effect because they look very much alike.

    What does fighter sexuality has to do with boxing. Man is a talented fighter that should be what maters.

    Speed comes as a result of the force applied as well. Unless Briggs' muscle fibers themselves have become less efficient at contracting quickly (a possibility if he's getting older), the difference in speed doesn't matter. Punching power is a combination of the muscle's contraction speed and force, not the speed the arm travels at (which becomes slower as a fighter gets heavier, regardless of training methods). Weight training increases strength and usually speed of contraction, so Briggs hits harder today. He is slower because he's moving more mass, despite the greater speed and force that his muscles themselves are producing. Think top-level shot-putters.

    As to Tyson--he became slower when he got heavier, but he was definitely stronger and probably hit somewhat harder since he was more physically mature (pre-Holyfield II). He couldn't produce knockouts because he had lost the skill and speed to LAND the punches. Against Williams, he was old and shot, whereas Briggs still has more left in the tank.

    Put Briggs and Tyson in front of a power-measurement device and have them hit it with a single punch, and you'd find that the older versions hit harder. Put them in front of a good opponent, and they won't be able to land that punch as frequently--in Briggs' case, he may collapse from exhaustion before he can land--but that's another issue.

    It's what I've been trying to get across to some of these jokers. It's as if they don't realize there's this other 50% of the population that might find the pix interesting or erotic. But who knows, maybe they're not too familiar with the

    I think Wlad could beat a George Foreman type by staying at distance, George is predictable and Wlad would half step him and land fast short powerful shots that would wear him out to an almost standstill.. Wlad could always get caught by a massive shot, but that is a probability score.. I say Wlad wins 2 out of 3 fights with George, He has learned how to be clever with the tools that he has, His chin is well protected these days because he is more defencively aware..

    I don't think boxers are any better just because there bigger. No light Heavyweight was able to move up and beat a heavyweight in the days of Louis,Maricano,and Fraizer even though the size difference was less then it is today. Now you have guys like Toney,Jones,and Byrd who started their careers below 170 beating Ruiz,Vitali and having a draw with Peter.

    yeah, but Johnson could crack when so inclined. Plus, he was adpet at fighting in the trenches (look at the way he toyed with the bull strong Jim Jefferies) If he gets past the jab, and turns it into a wrestling match, I could see him having success against Wlad.
