Shannon (34 years old) lately seems to LOVE fighting bums, he's had 10 fights since fighting Jameel McCline who one could say was his last "important fight". Since that time he has fought: Jeff Pegues, Ray Mercer, Abraham Okine, Marvin Hill, Wade Lewis, John Sargent, Demetrice King, Brian Scott, Dicky Ryan, Lucciano Zolyone, and he's scheduled to fight Chris Koval.
Before during and after these fights he's talked shit about a number of fighters, Sam Peter, The Ibrigamov's, The Klitschko's, Alexander Dimitrenko, etc. yet he hasn't stepped into the ring with a top contender since 2002 and he last fought for A belt in 1998 since then it's been a long steady ride to nowhere.
I honestly think since the Lewis fight he's been shit scared to get hit because he knows what it feels like to be totally demolished by a better boxer and harder puncher.
