What on earth is Shannon Briggs going on about?

I was just reading this over at Fightnews and I think I am coming to understand why his parents gave him the name Shannon. I mean seriously, what a....

Boxing - Briggs furious at Vitali

For sure, asthma is an unpleasant thing to have, but I see nothing particularly offensive in Vitali saying that asthma is a good excuse to justify a loss.

I really don't get why he would be 'furious'.

I don't even need to click the link, Shannon is furious because Vitali hit the nail on the head. Briggs runs his mouth before fights about how he's this and that and then throws 25 punches a round and immediately has some postfight excuse. I wouldn't be so hard on him if he would just shut up once in a while but he has to be one of the biggest smacktalkers around and quite frankly it is unjustified. What has he done lately......................squat except run his mouth and beat two journeymen. PS: Why is he even getting this fight?

Because there is no one else free I think and I think the Klits want to shut him up once and for all! He has never stopped talking shit though and I doubt he ever will. Vitali could KO him without Shannon even throwing a punch and he will blame it on asthma.

[Spicoli]

For a guy who runs on and on and is so long winded Briggs is not when it matters.

[Majesty]

Maybe he'll fight two rounds this time.

[El Kabong]

So he's dedicating himself getting KO'd to asthma sufferers everywhere?


I've had asthma and it's really not kept me from doing much of anything, I've played virtually every sport in the world (including boxing) and it hasn't really hindered me.

You should read what Chicken Little has said recently "Anybody who signs to fight the Klitschko's is either desperate or just there for a paycheck" ....yep unlike Monte Barrett or Audley Harrison . Say what you will about Briggs, Sosnowski, Sam Peter, Chisora (eventhough that fight hasn't been signed), etc but at least they have the balls to get in the ring with the Klitschko's.
