Top Chin Ever

GGG has never been dropped

Briggs became very sparse with punches thrown... Part of it could be his build... I saw Briggs in NYC and he did not look like he does now with the physique. YOu really saw it against Lewis where he punched himself out after some spirited attacks on Lewis. When you need more oxygen it places a higher demand on asthma like conditions. Briggs seemed to just want to become a hulk but as an asthmatic this really inevitably made him more prone to possible breathing problems...the result that I see is a man who threw very few punches.

After he got popper for the juice, we never saw him fight again.

He never seemed to have the issue ever again after that fight, even against Klitschko

isnt a hell of a lot one can do. The New York Metro area has really bad asthma all over the place. Lopez has issues this way as well. There are aspects to it that can make it something that has to be dealt with when it happens as an emergency, and aspects that involve just dealing with it.

Sounds like Chuvalo and McCall are the consensus top chins. With Ali and Louis being pretty resilient. And others saying Lewis could take some hard shots when he was prepared and ready to fight, which I guess he wasn't in his only 2 losses. Some damn fine picks there I gotta agree with I've all seen on video.

Did he ever say what he did to get it treated?

- - Different physiologies require different treatment. Before the Corona I noticed for a few years before some folks were masking which is quite effective in reducing the dust and carbon fumes of modern western big cities that is the primary source of the problem

My eldest had it and I had to pick him(10 yrs old) up at school to take to EMS per "company" Dr advice that resulted in me getting reamed out by my bully boss that led to an epic struggle between us where he was holding all the cards, but I had exposed him sufficiently to top management that I outlasted him. I missed his axing when he burst into tears screaming and had to be escorted to his new Caddy. The irony was me getting an infected wisdom tooth extracted at the dentist, and so I return with no more bothersome tooth or boss, a win/win epic day I'd say.

Thought I mentioned that the 40ish Briggs created his own treatment that he was selling over the internet. Don't know more than that.

Not an impressive resume. The most impressive win is stopping Ray Mercer but that comes quite late in Mercer's career.

I almost fell for the Jimmy Ellis TKO until I clicked the name and the photo made me lol.

Ok, and of course the win over Foreman II, I guess.

But he certainly bombed out a lot of bums, fast!

Very talented fighter coming up... Had real skills... I think he did hve asthma that was delilitating... as Queen B says, there is a range with conditions like Asthma and Diabetes, but I think Briggs had it pretty bad. The projects where he came up in NYC has a lot of asthma issues. Its an epidemic, or at least it was.

Briggs changed later. He couldn't throw punches. You can see the change after Lewis beat him. He reinvents himself as a bigger clunkier sort of menace lol. Lool at his early fights though, he had skills, could fight!

- - Asthma is very broadbased as a physical debilitation. There was an asthmatic Olympic womens' multi gold medalist not so long ago who could testify to that. Very much like diabetes in that regard.

I wonder what happened to those asthma issues, his excuse, when Wilson bombed him out in three.
