After that shameful performance, all the lewis/vitali comparrisons must go

Seriously, these guys that think Briggs was a credible opponent are completely retarded. They should quit watching the sport. Briggs is absolutely shot. People say Mosley is shot, but relative to Briggs he's world class. Briggs is more shot than Roy Jones Jr. He cannot fight and has zero stamina, period. He's a walking meat bag. Joe Frazier was matched against better opponents when he punched sides of beef in a meat locker. From Dan Rafael: "Briggs, the former two-time titleholder, had done nothing in years to warrant this title shot, but because the heavyweight division is so weak on credible contenders, and because Briggs has a name, he got the fight."

TS is a retarded troll. Shannon Briggs "Vitali is the best fighter I've ever fought" Lewis was badly hurt serveral times and was out on his feet against a green Shannon Briggs. 40 year old Vitali completely dominated and destroyed Shannon Briggs. Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis THE TRUTH Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice. Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis was badly hurt and was staggering around the ring like a drunk, he barely survived the 2nd round. Lewis was getting outboxed, outworked, outlanded and was hurt several times in the fight. punches landed Vitali 156 Lewis 102 Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued. All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight. Lewis promised Vitali a rematch. Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight. Lewis turned down 30 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali. Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement. http://i34.tinypic.com/izb4on.gif Lewis wasn't preparing for Vitaly either. Vitaly never landed any meaningful punches after the 2nd round, so I don't get were you seen Lewis hurt several times. It was Lewis that landed the harder punches after the 2nd and all the proof is in Vitali's face and the fact he was holding on for dere life at the end of the 6th round. Had the fight gone on any longer, The old past prime over weight Lewis would have knocked him out. Lets face it, Vitali is at his best at 39 which is incredible. He would beat any HW in history at 39 years of age but not all of them prime for prime. Keep it in perspective.

It's funny to see people tell a fighter that HE is wrong about the fighters HE fought. I'm not necessarily saying Klitschko is better than Lennox because Lennox has a better resume, but let's not forget when Shannon and Lennox fought (both were younger, closer to their primes) Briggs damn near ko'd Lennox, had him badly hurt a few times. Briggs couldn't land a glove on Vitali, who clearly isn't in his prime either, plus had a five year layoff. Resume alone is what has lewis ahead of Vitali, because in terms of who is the better fighter that is surely up for debate. Yes Lennox has a win over vitali but we all know the circumstances surrounding that fight. great post. end of thread

Lennox beat the prime versions of both these fighters at a 6 year age disadvantage. Lennox is not even of the same era as these clowns and still TKO'd both in 11 combined rounds.... No mystery who's the best is.... http://www.ioffer.com/img/item/610/051/91/9IXMUWJv1WbYAqs.jpg think Id take briggs opinion who was in there with both fighters over a lewis nuthugger. sorry man

Far from prime Vitali that throws more punches than he did before he retired. yea,,,more slower arm punches. hes 39 yrs old fool. well past his best but still broke briggs face and wasnt staggered like a drunk like lewis was twice

lewis didnt break briggs face like vitali did,,and vitali was staggered like a drunk like lewis was a coupl times in the fight You're right, he stopped him in five instead and did it to a guy 13 years better.

Lewis broke down and destroyed prime briggs, dr pillow fist laboured to a 12 round decision over old, shot briggs. lewis didnt break briggs face like vitali did,,and vitali wasnt staggered like a drunk like lewis was a coupl times in the fight

disgraceful?and what bias?shot implies briggs was good to begin with,which he wasnt.corley was brought up cause some wack job said floyd would never fight a caliber of opponent like briggs.i brought up corley,brussels,baldomir,and forget to add sharmba mitchell Corley was a top five contender at 140 at the time and in his prime. Briggs was a top ten contender at HW years ago and was no better than Corley in his prime. Maybe worse. And was SHOT when Vitali fought him. Don't be stupid. Actually, you must be stupid to be even saying this stuff so just forget the conversation. Peace

Wow, burgundy. This post is so disgraceful. Cut your bias, man. No need for us to discuss further. disgraceful?and what bias?shot implies briggs was good to begin with,which he wasnt.corley was brought up cause some wack job said floyd would never fight a caliber of opponent like briggs.i brought up corley,brussels,baldomir,and forget to add sharmba mitchell

how exactly was briggs shot lol?he is younger and fresher than vitali.vitali has had several surgeries,severe cuts to the eye and has been in with better comp than briggs has.shot briggs actually came out with a good gameplan of going hard to the body,he just didnt stay consistent corley has never won a meaningful fight,let alone meaningful belt Wow, burgundy. This post is so disgraceful. Cut your bias, man. No need for us to discuss further.

That means nothing. To say Briggs was not shot is just plain ridiculous. LOL @ somehow Floyd and his opponents getting brought into this.

can we agree that briggs had a punchers chance?that was a consensus please tell me what chance corley had of winning that fight? I can not agree with that. I didn't give Briggs a chance in hell of winning. He was just shot. And, even in his prime at best he was a solid contender and that was 14 years ago. Can't agree that he had a puncher chance going in. And, my posts prior to the fight backs my statement up.

No, we can't agree. No shot fighter has ANY chance. And Corley definitely had much better than a puncher's chance seeing as how, for starters, he could actually throw punches where as shot Briggs could only eat them. how exactly was briggs shot lol?he is younger and fresher than vitali.vitali has had several surgeries,severe cuts to the eye and has been in with better comp than briggs has.shot briggs actually came out with a good gameplan of going hard to the body,he just didnt stay consistent corley has never won a meaningful fight,let alone meaningful belt

Maybe Bruseles. Definitely not Corley. can we agree that briggs had a punchers chance?that was a consensus please tell me what chance corley had of winning that fight?

as is beating corley,or brusels Maybe Bruseles. Definitely not Corley.

Honestly, this is really absurd. Don't even know how it got to a Floyd debate but beating Briggs is equivalent to beating Roy Jones. as is beating corley,or brusels

briggs is better than corley or baldo because he at least had a punchers chance.unfortunately corley and baldo dont hit hard enough to even have that lol Honestly, this is really absurd. Don't even know how it got to a Floyd debate but beating Briggs is equivalent to beating Roy Jones.

how is briggs better then baldo & corely. corely was actually a legit cotender @ 140. corely had a chance against top fighters such as miguel cotto @ 140. this version of briggs has NO chance against haye, adamek, wlad, or povetkin. corely actually had a chance against top 5 guys @ 140. (even recently a past prime corely almost beat maidana) yet. no one gives credit to mayweather for the corely win but you have klit fans trying give vitali credit for a even worse opponent in briggs. unbelievable. briggs is better than corley or baldo because he at least had a punchers chance.unfortunately corley and baldo dont hit hard enough to even have that lol

i told you to look for a right hand bomb starting @ 8:09 which clearly caused the cut on vitalis left eye...... you know exactly what punch I'm talking about..... you're trolling at this point...... and vitali wasnt bleeding till he came up from that clinch where the punch raked across his face beavis.if that cut was caused from that punch it a)would have bled immediately and b)the hbo crew would hav known exactly wear it came from.they actually thought the blood was from lewis
