    No offense to Briggs fans, I really can't have much regard for a dude who got *****-jabbed by super old, woefully slow Foreman for 12 rounds straight and received a total gift "title".

    Nobody's telling you to have regard for him, but you gotta acknowledge that he's not the very worse considering the other fighters we have in contention for the title of "the worst".

    Strawman Briggs isn't the one being talked about. He'd beat multiple heavyweight champs particularly as one gets further back in time.

    Vitali lost to the 2 best guys he ever faced and his best win is a faded Sam Peter so he's in contention.

    Depends if you consider lineage or not. I don’t see him as having ever been the Champ.
