Maybe your right but the way I see Shannon is that if he was so serious about making the best of this situation...don't you think he would at least train appropriately. If you are doing your road work, all of it, then you aren't coming in at 270 unless your 7feet tall. It looks like the man did a cycle of something and hit the weights real hard.
As a result his punch output was the lowest I've seen in a long time.

To me, especially with a guy with asthma, its lazy to come in at 270. Anyone can lift weights, I've done it more than half of my life.....the hard S*** is getting out and running 10 miles a day and doing all that cardio-vascular intensive training.

I'm real sorry about his mom and dad, I wouldn't wish that on anyone but don't go on a tirade about being raised in the mean streets. The current crop of heavyweights has blown a hole in that gotta come from a hard upbringing to be tough enough to get a title bullshit.


Its about who wants it the most....not where you came from or any of that crap.

I'll take Shannon as seriouly as he takes himself.
