The former WBO heavyweight champion has been out of the ring since the savage beating administered to him by Vitali Klitschko at the tail end of 2010. The American was left in intensive care (left) for 4 weeks.

I saw that fight. Was painful to watch. Ref should have stopped it around the 8th round. Briggs was like a heavy bag and Vitali was unleashing straight right after straight right.

Chin of Peace
isn't Briggs a getbigger? take a dive getbig style, save some brain cells and collect the check.

Beaten like he was caught stealing cotton.
And yes, I would have taken a dive after the first overhand right connected. Or I would have been KO. But on the ground and not getting up in any case. ;D
-
Having watched the highlights, I can see why and how the kiltchko's bored us to death in boxing, yes efficient style to win. But Briggs' defence was soo sluggish and took hit after hit...Hollyfield, Lennox, Tyson..etc would never leave an opponent standing for long with such poor defence....as a matter of fact, Lennox fought a much younger Briggs and finished him off in 5 rounds :-\

Yes but Vitali was an old man himself by the time he fought Briggs. Vitali's fights were actually quite entertaining when he was younger, stronger and more clinical - check out his fights with Hide, Sanders, Kirk Johnson and of course Lewis.
Briggs - Lewis was an interesting fight. Briggs put so much effort to KO Lewis in the first 3 rounds he was pretty much totally gassed at that point.
-
So briggs lost? But he has more muscle, doesn't make sense ;)
-
steroid muscles dont fare well. that brigs guy has that chunky face with ripped body=tell tale sign of steroids= stiff but strong muscles
i would beat the shit out of Clitboy.

spot on comment
Briggs moved like a walrus----it was basically a warm up for Vitali

No i refuse to believe he lost, he has more muscle, colemen would have killed him ;D ;)

Like the time i saw a guy coming into a Bar here in Celle called "Popcorn".. was a British soldiers Bar... he was a Turk who started to try kickboxing on a Guy( a Royal Anglian(Poachers).. he got a severe kicking. was funny but then again not funny. Remember sitting watching it drinking my cold Beer thinking what a Fanny i mean the Bar was well known and full of Poachers.

Lots of Turks get a kicking....luckily this wasn't in Germany where there's over a million of them, within minutes you'll have 20 outside trying to get you...guns and knives are not uncommon.
Talking from experience here, I was in Frankfurt where there's lots of american soldiers, saw two very tall american hebrews they looked like basketball players or something, dressed in baggy shorts and stuff and they started doing some stupid dance when lil jon's song came on, they treaded over this tiny little Turkish guy, he tried to hit one of them, and the bigger taller black guy I don't how or with what smacked the Turkish midget so hard the little fucker flew across the room and slid onto chairs and under a table.....never seen mayhem like it after, chairs and tables and bottles and glasses flying everywhere.
I was with two german blonde girls on a table, all three pissed as shit, we tilted the table side ways cow boy movie style and I emptied one of the ice buckets and put it over my head and we watched the show from the corner whislt dodging the odd glass bottle, plenty of blood and dudes getting pummeled and KO'd....left via the fire exit.

Sanders was a beast. The power he could generate from such short distances was crazy. If he was more dedicated and had a proper coach, he could have been something special.
Here is a good article about him:
http://ringsidereport.com/?p=21928
This quote sums him up:
He never applied himself one hundred percent, and because of that, he didn’t make it to the level that he really belonged. He was born with something that cannot be taught. His left hand was a wrecking ball and he had perfect timing. It’s very easy to imagine him cutting through the heavyweight division at nearly any time in history if he had been motivated, focused, and fought on a consistent basis. He just wasn’t willing to do that.
-
That fight should have been stopped by the referee early. There was no point in the one sided fight where Briggs took a beating.
-

Celle is in Germany and there are more kurds here in Celle( Turks and Kurds hate each other) My Brother lives in Frankfurt. was a lot of fighting between Brits and Turks/kurds, the Turks like to use a blade. Not all Turks are bad and i know a few good Guys.
-
:D LOL . You do know the brothers have a higher KO percentage right ?
Their opponents are punching bag journey men too. Where did you get that stat because almost every fight I see with them goes the distance? It becomes target practice with their jab.
-

I concur, no way the skinny guy won.

They have very high KO percentages. Think Vitali had something like 90% before his comeback.
Only problem is their KO's tend to be a mid/late stoppage after a methodical breakdown while Tyson was knocking guys flat out in the early rounds.
Interestingly enough, Freddie Roach said that Wlad was the hardest puncher he's ever trained with and could generate more brute force than even Tyson. On the other hand, Tyson's speed and angles made him more lethal. :D

Tyson was an animal. I think in his prime he would have killed the klitchko Brothers. His raw aggression and Speed was amazing.

I would fancy him to win as well even though I think Tyson gets grossly over-rated in general.

It´s like over here some years ago there was a Berlin Boxer they called "Rocky" and he was a real Berlin street Boy who fought against Henry Maske, an ex DDR Army Officer. Maske was a very skilled "points" Boxer from an olympic Boxing Background. "Rocky" nearly beat him with his aggression but Maske won with skill.

Yeh but Briggs destroys him on the bodybuilding stage, and that's all that matters.

Hey Donny how do you think you d have fared against Lenny Mclean in a street brawl

No, a City worker who fell in Love with a German stripper I met in Ibiza two years before, found a contract with an Investment Bank in Frankfurt and lived in Wiesbaden with her, worked long hours and partied really hard with her, mostly in red light disctrict....broke up. Packed up my shit and came back to London.

you are bald like frank bough
ive seen the pic ;)

Sad to see Briggs running his mouth like that. Took him four years to ''recover'' from the Vitali fight and get his ass back into the ring.
He's broke and needs a quick payday ;D
-
The Klitchkos really have an optimal combination of height and reach and the knowledge to use it to their advantage (not like Stefan Struve for example who cannot take advantage of his reach)

Now that was worth watching hahaha

So the chubby guy won and the muscular guy lost.
Yeah, being ripped and muscular does so much for fighting ability. ::)
Bet the average MMA twink could leave Kai or Phil flat like a mattress in like 60 seconds.

ok...you know Lesnar was a top notch collegiate wrestler?
dude's a genetic freak with a great foundation of real wrestling skill

amateur huh ???---dude trained with the best before his debut
what Im saying is he had a solid foundation to build on----he wasn't just an "amateur", he was one of the best in the nation at 270lbs and 9% bodyfat
the mma game has never had better quality athletes as they do today----the best genetic freaks are getting into MMA not boxing, this trend will only continue----its boxing that's watered down
you obviously have no knowledge about MMA
-
The only thing that could save boxing is another mega star HW like Tyson or Ali but that aint happening nor will it likely.

If Ali was fighting today nobody would give a fuck and the same people would call him boring because he didn't have the same fighting style as 1986 - 1989 Mike Tyson.
Regardless of how many times he defended the title or how many people he knocked out for whatever reason that 3 year time frame is all anyone gives a shit about besides your most hardcore fans.
-
Not for nothing but Mike Tyson would've owned Klitchko's ass so much he'd have his name tattooed around his glory hole.
All I know about the current heavyweight champion is that he is not from the US, that he's got a twin brother and that 99% of the people have no idea which one of the two is fighting.
That's how entertaining their fights are.
-
Mike Tyson would have gotten his ass handed to him by both Klitschkos. He was shit against tall fighters. Complete shit. Also, the Klitschkos are masters at keeping their distance whereas Tyson was only effective up close. No way Tyson would have ever gotten inside.

Tyson is overrated, he fought a bunch of no names and knocked them out senseless, he peaked at 24.
He looks great on YouTube highlights, but as soon as he fought evander and Lennox he was pathetic.
I loved how the ref stopped the fight after Tyson bit holyfield, Tyson was such a loser during the fight, but when the ring was full of police and security he decided to try attack Holyfield knowing he would be held back.
When your a kid watching mike he is amazing, when you watch the fights now you realise he fought bums.

Yep, only had a few real fights and he lost all of them.
When he got in the ring with someone who wasnt scared of him he folded.
If you watch the touching of gloves of the second Holyfield fight you can see Tyson is terrified.

Terrified? ... ??? don´t think so. I do agree with other comments on here that it was hard for Tyson against bigger guys. However in his prime he was a very powerful, aggressive boxer. Very fast.

He knew he couldnt beat Holyfield, Teddy Atlas actually said if Tyson starts losing he will foul himself out of the fight, he knew Tyson very well indeed.

No, back peddling would entail me retracting from what I said. I did not.
There's no way for anyone here to compare Tyson with Klitchko because they never fought and the one of two fighters that fought both did so at very different times in their careers.
Hence what you or I say is just an opinion.
-
And to the anti-Tyson brigade... Back in the late 80s, when Mike was at his best, people like Holyfield did what the majority of fighters with a chance did in that era: Punk out and wait until his form came down.
Holyfield knew better than to get in the ring with Mike back in the late 80s. And he didn't.
-
Danny Williams and Lennox lewis I believe to be the common Tyson and Vitlai opponents.
-

Yes good point. Atlas knew Tyson's personality very well having helped to nurture him from such a young age. They did fall out though which might have affected his opinion. As for Tyson vs Holyfield I wish it had happened back in 91 before the rape scandal. Would have been so interesting to see if the result was different.

What I didn't like about Mike is the racist prick version he turned into back in the early 90s, especially knowing that it was a white guy who took him under his wing and made him the best boxer of the time.
And it was a black woman who took most of his money... his life makes no sense.

idiotic "sport" imo

Yeah, Holyfield, one fighter renowned for his courage and heart would have bitched out of fighting Tyson. ::)
When they fought for the first time, Tyson was actually the massive favourite and many thought he was back to his very best. It was Holyfield who was seen as the one who was finished. Everyone thought it would be a one sided beatdown - but in Tyson's favour. :D

The fuck you talking about? Holyfield wanted that fight from the get go. Tyson fucked up that whole ordeal.
In fact, the first time they fought Tyson was a significant favorite and practically everyone thought he was gonna kayo Holyfield so that throws your little theory out the window as well.
Holyfield was fighting until he was damn near 50 years old. You don't fight til your 50 because you're some chickenshit.
Duran, Foreman, Hopkins, Holyfield. All those guys fought until they were damn near 50. Which one of thoses guys "knew better than get into the ring" with tough competition? ::)

It was all set to go ahead despite Slapper suggesting Holyfield was ducking him.

tyson was a much better fighter before he went to jail
what ever you think of him he had one punch knock out power
so was dangerous against anyone
holyfield was a bad match for him because he tied him up every time he got in range

Agreed, I think a lot of it was down to the fact Holyfield wasnt scared of him.
Tysons camp called for a drug test for Holyfield, Holyfield agreed as long as the result was only declared after the fight.
That way he knew Tyson would be thinking if he was using or not, and after the fight when it came back negative Tyson was again crestfallen because he was relaying on it being positive so he had an excuse for losing.
Holyfield was a master of mind games.

you couldnt break holyfield
