    Vitali looked great against Briggs. The pathetic haters will always try to discredit the Klitschkos.

            Vitali is almost 40 and is well past his physical prime, he is older than Briggs you moron. Prime Vitali would've KO'd Briggs.

            The fight should have been stopped. It was a MASSACRE. The judges gave Vitali three 10-8 rounds. It was an entertaining one-sided beatdown. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
            You have to be fair here, Briggs has been through ALOT of tough fights, taken alot of punishment, dished out alot of punishment, and given some awesome wars such as the one against Lewis. Vitali has never been challenged, has NEVER taken a beating, and has just had a easy career for a high caliber boxer. He would go on another 10 years and still not fade with the caliber of fighters he has to dispose of. Not to mention that, at his leisure, he retired for 4 years....Vitali's career does not even touch the feet of Briggs' in terms of wars and action....lets be serious...Briggs was a in your face boxer-puncher, Vitali is a cautious somewhat of a slick outside/range boxer.

            I would argue that Vitali IS in his physical prime right now! I would say that these next 3-5 years will be the best in his entire career. Even when he is 50 he will still not be as aged as Briggs is now. You have to realize too that Briggs is a severe asthmatic, that will take a tremendous toll on his aging. When he is 30, he will feel 40, 40 he will feel over 50.

            Neither Klitschko will EVER be beat, I would even say they will never be challenged again, they have beat the best. In my book, if both of them get another 10-15 fights, and if they can dominate all of them(Of course against the best of the time) then they will be recognizable ATGs for sure. They may not be the best as Lewis, Ali, Holyfield, Foreman etc...but still good enough to be a ATG.

              No, best since Lennox Lewis retired, I think out of Lewis, Holy, and Tyson, Lewis was the best...The argument can be made that Vitali could take Tyson but you cannot skip Lewis who would dominate.

                  tyson wasnt in his prime lewis was,and lewis was scared to give vitali a rematch just watch the fight when vitali pushes him lewis was like na fu** that I don't wanna go trough this again..and boxing fans deserved that rematch he punkd out and retired.

                  klitschko still fighting giving the fans what they want.

                    They are slowly gaining more appreciation for the great fighters they are who take on all of the best willing to fight them but probably won't get the full credit they deserve until they are retired just like Lewis who was heavily criticized in the same manner Wlad is now when he was active.
