Shannon has fought no one who was in their prime and the heavyweight division is wide open. After the loss to Lewis and let's forget McCline, the winner is the one who takes charge right away and has the pop to do it. Once again, who has Briggs fought? Klitsko does have the pop and I am a fan of neither fighter and in the heavyweight division, the big man went out and fought. He won, he lost and he ducked no one. He took his lumps. Did Shannon? Klisko has had very successful comebacks some sloppy but he learned and who has Shannon fought, an aging Ray Mercer who started his pro career at Thirty? Well anyway, I feel Briggs is getting a shot because everyone else is busy and like Shannon says, he has to keep busy and the champ can use the practice.
