    Fuck yall!

    Briggs had a bad patch back then.

    Id put him in against any number of fighters we rate highly just now.

    He stands at worst a punchers chance at beating anyone.

    Briggs is shot to pieces and is desperate to talk smack to hide his shortcomings.

    Generally the Heavies are that bad, that an excellent prospect who did not live up to the hype in the 90s can be a mention in his mid 40s in 2015...

    Anyway...

    How does Briggs maintain his size in the gym if he can't breathe properly?
    he's just power lifting.....doesn't take much endurance.....I've watched Bodybuilders get winded from friggin arm curls!!! arm curls!! are you kidding me!!!

    His personal trainer apparently is brilliant aswell, "steven roid" he is well known in the body building game
    HGH...there you go.....additional supplements let you get huge without working really hard at it....sure, you still have to work out but not nearly as hard...hence asthma has no way of hindering him....
    It feels good to be back home.

    Putting Briggs' cockiness aside, he has accomplished an incredible amount in his career considering his severe asthma (which I heard he has to take 7 different medications a day for). That really is spectacular.

    Reading that it sounds like your talking about a kid with downs syndrome placing last in a special Olympics marathon. It's not a very cool thing to say about the once "supposed" heavyweight champ.

    If the best you can say is, "Imagine if he could breathe," than I wouldn't bother saying anything. I'm not trying to be funny, ya'll.

    Yeah good post. I watched the fight last night and when he said that it was like i couldnt work out what he was talking about because surely he couldn't have been talking about himself. He wheezed his way round the ring for 12 rounds looking like he was trying to swat flies or something.

    Man i'd never call a dude that big something like that unless it was in a highly sanctioned event like a world title fight. And i'd never make one so phew i guess i'm off the hook. O shit i hope Fenech doesn't want to promote him. Maybe he'll find me.
