anyone whos really ever boxed..doesnt weight allow you to take a better punch?

[Russian Crushin]

it doesnt take a genius to figure this out..haters love to ignore facts..go hit a 150 pound fighter and a 200 pound fighter and tell me which one takes the punch better

So hit a WW and hit a HW and see who takes a punch better?

40 lbs of what? Fat or muscle? What kind of muscle? How useful is all that muscle if you're a 38 year old asthmatic that hasn't taken care of himself and is gasping for air? I would highly highly doubt that the Briggs that stepped in with Vitali is conditioned anywhere near as well as a prime Briggs from ten years ago.

briggs has gained 40 pounds of muscle..just look at him hes far from fat

[Repeddled]

true to some extent. would be interesting to see how Amir Khan fares esp. if he moves up to 147.

You have to be kidding me. You think he's actually lowered his body fat percentage since he was in his prime? You think this guy went from 340 lbs before this fight, when he obviously wasn't training, and walked into the ring with a lower body fat percentage than he's ever had in his life? He's bulky as hell, like a body builder, but that doesn't mean he's packed on pure muscle.

Manny doesn't have to drain to make weight anymore, which is why his chin is better. And he's conditioned better.

Shannon Briggs hasn't taken care of himself for a long time and has taken a lot of punishment over his career. There is no way he can take a better punch now than he could when he was in his prime, and in much better condition without so many miles on his body.

Wow someone made sense! WTF is going on Bscene?

[americanbot]

fool.

briggs is OVERWEIGHT.

being overweight doesn't allow you to take a better punch. did you not see the rolls on the side of his stomach????

being healthy & at your natrual weight allows you to take a better shot.

Bigger kneck and bigger legs would help.
