  1. Briggs should know that you cant intimidate a Klitschko. I've been a fan of watching boxing matches since I saw my first fight as a 5 year old kid back in Feb of 1978 when I saw a 24 year old Leon "Neon" Spinx beat the 36 year old WBC Heavyweight Champion, Muhammad Ali in a 15 round split decision. After that I followed the fighting Spinx family very closely. Ali would avenge that loss in a rematch later that year just a couple of months after Larry Holmes beat Ken Norton as a 12 year old kid. I saw Leon's little brother, Michael, pull off a huge upset against my dad's favorite fighter, the Easton Assassin, Larry Holmes, who, at 48-0, and Heavyweight Champion for 7 straight years, was attempting to tie Rocky Marciano's record of 49-0 as the greatest Heavyweight record ever. It wasn't until I waa 15 years old in 1988 that I witnessed for the first time ever a bout that featured two undefeated Heavyweight boxers and one of them at a perfect record of 31-0 was shaking in his boots and that was the Champ, Micheal Spinx. It was the first time that I had seen a fighter of his caliber so obviously intimidated. It was all over his face and the fear radiated in his eyes when he faced the devastating combination of destructive power and unbelievable speed of one Mike Tyson, who at this point in time was my favorite fighter. 91 seconds into the first round and the rest is history.

  2. @0:50 All I could hear in my head was Gunnery Sargent Hartman, played by the late great R Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket yelling at PVT Joker... "So you're a killer! Let me see your warface!" Ahhhhhhh! "Bullshit! Let me see your real warface!" AHHHHHHHHH! "You call that a warface?" Sir, yes, sir! "You don't scare me! Work on it!"
