Comments Thread For: Briggs: Vitali is Better Than Lennox Lewis, George Foreman

[slindee3]

Are you black?

Vitali is almost 40, he is older than Briggs you moron.

Either Klitschko beats any HW from any era.

The truth hurts.

What does being black have to do with it? Wlad got knocked out by Puritty (1998)TKO, Sanders (2003), and Brewster (2004). Vitali lost to Byrd (2000) and Lewis (2003). How the hell could they have hung with Tyson, Holifield and Lewis? Stop being a racist and deal with facts instead of racist emotions.

wlad didnt beat ross purity, corrie sanders, and was knocked out by brewster as well. but i forgot purity sanders and brewster were all ATGS above ali tyson holyfield lennox forman fraiser

And Pac was KO'd by 2 bums

Nah but hes not an ATG either

Its not loses that define a fighter it is wins

plus briggs had a concusion and faced lenox and forman like 12 years ago he had no idea what he was talking about. thats like when lenox knocked tyson out he was talking about i love your mother and all that crazy mess.

No. Just no.

Briggs was at least fighting back against Lennox. When you are in an actual fight where both fighters are throwing punches there is more chance of getting Ko'd. All briggs had to do was brace himself against Vitali. Against Lewis he had a chance against Klits he had zero chance. Briggs also did'nt have as much experience and was'nt as big when he fought Lewis. I think he came with a different mentality against Vitali. The mentality that he was'nt getting KO'd. Plus we already know Vitali was better than Lewis. He punched him out and HBO televised. You can't cover that **** up. It's right there for everyone to see. Plus I'm not some newbie. I was around following the game at that time. I know that Lewis ducked a rematch with Klit and retired instead. That is just plain and simple facts. So you can't fool me.

Lewis lost to two journeymen, and Pac lost to two journeymen and drew with a third. The Klitschkos have improved beyond all recognition since those losses, especially Wlad. And for similar reasons - a much better trainer.

that is briggs opinion, which is fair, although he fought foreman WAYYYY past his prime

[boxer2k5]

im not talking about wlad himself im talking about the guys who knocked him out arent ATGs. do to the TC who said no HWs could beat them but they have been beating. wlad been koed 3 times. by lesser guys than ATGs they not even ranked top 100 all time.

and the guys who koed pac arent ATG either. so whatever point you tried to make you failed sorry try again

I read he was really devastated because he really thought that he could win the fight.

Yea Briggs saw all of Vitalis punches and was never really caught out of nowhere.

Like they say its the punches you dont see coming that hurt the most

They are the same fighters, it's just that there are no heavyweights out there that is any good. They would not be as good as they are now if they were in the Tyson, Holifield, Bowe era.
