    This time around Briggs should have to fight at least an eliminator to get a title shot, not 10 handpicked tomato cans…

    And at this point, I think any decent contender whose in good shape beats Briggs 9 times outa ten….

      Foreman got robbed, and Foreman kicked Briggs ass for 12 rounds. And I think the Klitschko's are powerful enough to ko him.

        I dont know what the hell he is smoking thinking that Wlad is going to fight him, there is nothing for Wlad to gain and everything too loose, not that he will loose but it makes no damn sense

            Put down the ribs. Put down the dumbbells. Do some actual conditioning and training.

            Plenty of top athletes have asthma (in fact in a Briggs asthma thread lots were mentioned) and they control their problems. The last fight in which Briggs looked lively that I saw was against Lewis.
            Stop making excuses.
            This is a ****** comment and one you shouldn't make unless you live with it and know something about it.

            My wife is a chronic asthmatic, she is a healthy 30 year old, 5'3 and weighs around 50 kg(110lbs) and is a ballet dancer, she eats healthy and stays fit.
            She also spent 2 weeks in hospital earlier this year because of an asthma attack and averages this around every 18 months to 2 years.

            It depends on the degree to which you have this and effects all sufferers differently.

            Now, not saying this is the reason briggs gets beat, personally i just don't think he is that good at the top level of heavies, but to sit there and say stop making excuses because of this is ridiculous.

            That being said, I respect Briggs for fighting through and accomplishing what he has, but if it affects him to this degree maybe he should have another think about continuing his career

                Foreman already beat him but was robbed big time. Probably one of the biggest robberies ever. And a younger foreman probably accidently kills briggs in the ring. briggs sucks

                  Briggs needs to stick to one trainer. He should re-hire John David Jackson to train him again.

                    I remember that fight and Foreman was robbed. Briggs couldn't even believe he won thats why he was crying so much when he was announced the winner.
