So Shannon Briggs is back....again

[El Kabong]

I was wondering, since Oleg Maskaev got smashed out in 1 round and the fight with Ray Austin for the shot at the WBC title I wonder if Shannon Briggs is going to step in and fight Austin.

I just soooo badly want to see Shannon's fat head smashed in

Gotta admit it would be nice, but i'd rather see someone like Wlad, Vitali or Haye do it. I don't see him getting past the 6th with any and I think all would leave him a mess if he could withstand the pressure long enough to get beat up that is.

Well YEAH, that's the idea...Shannon fights Austin wins, then fights Vitali and gets pummeled by another "asthma attack"

Unfortunately, I don't give Briggs much of a chance against anyone who moves or has defense. But then again, Ray Austin got kayoed with a jab. Say what you want about Briggs, but I really think he probably has the hardest straight right in the HW division.

It was so odd seeing him KO a guy with a body punch, but I give him some credit. He's coming to fight. I think he is giving too much info to the fans about "getting his fat ass off the couch and to get in fighting shape again." It only makes me think that between one of his fights he'll get disproportional (300+) again and blame it on the asthma...
I think he'd have more success against Adamek, Chagaev Ruiz
and less success against Haye, Chambers, Povetkin

I think a quote from Joe Dirt could sum up all is reservations about fighting with asthma "Why don't you go get yourself a Whah-burger and some french-cries!"

Give him a minute and blink a few times......he'll find a way to gas out and be an opponent.He's a great commentator though.

#1 When did Austin get KO'd by a jab?

#2 Briggs does not have the hardest right cross in the division...even with 280 pounds behind it

Am I confusing Austin for somebody else? Didn't he fight Wlad and get hit by a dozen jabs and go down?

I know it isn't quantifiable, but his right cross is definitely a game changer. Look at what Briggs did to Liakhovich who was winning handily (even though Brigg's counter hook got his attention). One pop in the 12th and Sergei was on queer street. One more and he was looking at the crowd upside down through the ropes. When it comes to a SINGLE punch, I say Briggs is up there. But a series of punches, nah.

Briggs is a four round fighter even at his best. He completely changes after that. He goes from power punching beast to feather fisted boxer. Quite strange really, but if he can manage to get himself into decent shape he might make a four round exciting fight for either Klitschko.

He looked terrible in his last fight plodding along and I heard he lost around 80 pounds for it.
