Klitschko vs. Briggs?? W.T.F.!"?

[El Kabong]

Vladimir ought to say:

"I'm champ, but I got a lot of ground to make up.  I got KTFO by Sanders and Brewster, and looked foolish in the process.  I got the physical tools to be the best, and dadgumit!!.... I'm gonna do it.  I'm gonna fight nothing but the best out there.  I'm gonna clean up the division.  I'm gonna make people watch the heavyweights again."

But instead, he'll say:

"Well, I'm champ.  Let's see how long I can hang on to this belt without fighting anyone TOO good.  Oughta be easy, seeing as to how f*cked up the division is.  Fight a few bums, wait 10-12 months in between fights, get a few million, and retire and open a deli with brother Vitali.  Hmmmm... as long as no one touches my suspect chin....."

Well compared to Oleg Maskaev, Kevin McBride, and Owen Beck, how does Shannon Briggs stack up?

And out of Rahman, Lyakhovich, Valuev, and Wlad who KO'd the title holder they fought to earn their belt?

My point is not that WK is bad, he is great, my point is that Sanders is/was as good or better. And Lennox Lewis agrees with me.

Lennox said those things because he A) Had a promotional intrest in Sanders' fight vs Vitali and B) Didn't want to rematch Vitali

He was good but he never really got in good enough shape
