    After that what had transpired the quote was justified. Vitali's performance against Briggs was flawless, better than Lewis' performance. George Foreman couldn't knock Briggs out, do you mean to tell me that Lewis had more punching power than Foreman?
    Briggs called it like he saw it. A first hand witness.

    Foreman was 14 months shy of his 50th birthday and fighting on average once per year when he met a prime Briggs, who incidentally got KTFO out by Lewis while also being prime..

    Foreman was landing bombs and still had the bulk and power. Briggs won the first 2 rounds and hurt Lewis badly before falling apart. Briggs was more bulkier and muscular when he fought Vitali which gave him more durability. His heart was unquestionably much greater when he fought Vitali as well.

    Briggs' quote basically is just the end of this argument. You can analyze it every which way from sunday but the proof is right there.

    I remember you, you're the poster that made a series of statements ,all of which were wrong .I corrected them and you never replied.

    Your sole contribution to the Wlad V Lewis thread was

    "He was also a raging homo***ual".
    And you are calling people ******s?
    What does that make you?

    Sock it stool sample.

    Briggs was a washed up nothing man when Vitali shamelessly cherry picked him.

    3-4 years earlier he was pulling out of fights because his asthma was so bad.

    He was beaten every round by Iggy a whole TEN years after his loss to Lewis and Vitali fought him him another 3 years after that when he had beaten nobody.

    Tyson Fury beat Kingpin Johnson more clearly and took far less punishment than Vitali did. :oops:

    BIG DADDY for sure. Not only would he thrash Vitali, but he beat better fighters, was "the man" and had the swagger, confidence, skills and mean streak to be a big draw, and be arguably top 5 H2H. Vitali is a beast, but not on the same level.

    Briggs seldom engaged with Foreman. Lewis had appreciably more power than Vitali.

    A boxer stops a 27years old man in his prime,flooring him three times in the process.
    Another boxer fights him when he is 39 and fails not only to drop him ,but also to stop him.

    Which is the more conclusive result?

    BTW It's theories, not theory's doughnut.:lol:
