But the thing about Briggs and Maskaev is they have been in battles, they have had to give and take.




Nicolay Valuev on the other hand.......he's never been tested his power isn't that good, EASY fight for Wladimir
The only battles that I remember Briggs and Maskaev being in were fights when they got KTFO. Briggs was stopped by such luminaries as Darroll Wilson and fought to a draw against Botha? Given, that's the past and even Klitschko has some pretty awkward spots on his resume. But not that bad! Maskaev got stopped by 'Goofy' Whitaker.
I guess that if you mean to say that both Briggs and Maskaev have been on the wrong end of some bad intentions at times, I would have to agree. But even with the youtube link that you posted, Valuev looked like he took some decent combos and won a decision?...to the booing of the audience.
Don't get me wrong, I think the scariest part of Valuev is that he looks like pilt-down-man, but he'll take an ass whoopin against Wladimir.
I've got to watch the Valuev vs. Barrett bout. Sal sent me the link.
