    Seems pretty interesting. Why isn't there more main stream talk about this? Should have plenty of interviews, Q&As, etc.

    Do they do this annually or every so often?

    What would you like to see?

    I was under the impression that Shannon Briggs' team came up with the idea.

    I seriously wonder how many will actually show up.

    And if they do, what the casino is shelling out to get them there to try to draw a big crowd. Almost no way this turns out profitable.

    So it's being held in Hollywood, Florida. Seen a video with Shannon Briggs once again disrupting Wlad, this time while Wlad is talking with Holyfield and Moorer. I've seen pics of Mike Weaver, Tony Tubbs, Tim Witherspoon, Lennox Lewis, Tony Tucker, Evander Holyfield, Michael Moorer, both Klits, Briggs and Mike Tyson among many, many more.

    In this video, there's Wlad Klitschko, Tim Witherspoon, Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tucker, Rid**** Bowe, Mike Tyson, Michael Spinks, Shannon Briggs, Lennox Lewis, Evander Holyfield, Oliver McCall and Chris Byrd. So, quite a few.

    Tony Tucker has a great laugh. Too bad the person filming spent so much time with Bowe. I can't understand a word he's saying.

    Thanks for the video. It's cool to see them together, seeing the size differences, etc.. Who the hell is Bowe talking about?

    I have no idea. He said something about "in our first fight" ... so I don't know if he's talking about Holyfield or Golota. Then he said something about seeing him every day.

    Who knows. I think he's talking about Evander, because he says he's the first guy to knock him out.

    I know he's always challenging Lennox Lewis on Twitter. I think Bowe is the guy people kind of humor, because he's the one who could start throwing punches at people at any moment. He seems pretty brain damaged. All the rest of them seem laid back.

    If you enlarge the video full screen, in the final shot, Bonecrusher Smith is sitting down between the two other bald guys.

    And the guy clapping, with the beard, is Michael Moorer.

    He was on another video posted today showing Evander, Wlad and Moorer talking in the gym. Wlad's training for Fury. Holyfield is just there working out.

    Of course, then Briggs shows up.

    Briggs act is so tired. I don't know if Wlad is in on it or not. I thought he was but at this point I kind of want wlad to knock him out. It's a waste of time for his legacy but it would be sweet to retire this stooge once and for all.

    I like to see him smack Briggs at one of these encounters they keep having. Slap him across the face like Liston did to Ali.

    Wlad has too much class for that. Briggs is trying to get him to make that reaction. Wlad knows his priorities are mandatories and unification. He gains nothing from fighting this guy. The sad thing is I bet Wlad wants to fight him at this point but it's a joke that Briggs refuses to fight a real opponent to earn his shot.
    Anyway if Vitali did what he did 5 years ago I would sincerely worry about Briggs health if Wlad got serious on him.

    A huge thank you for the video!!! Bowe looks the worst out of all of them even though his humor is intact. He must be talking about Holyfield since he mentioned their sparring sessions.
