Shannon Briggs 'Asthma'

That sucks and all, but I have asthma as was still able to run a 4:36 mile in high school, so Shannon should be fine. Do you take medication? For Shannon, I agree with what someone else posted, his weight is way to high...if you have breathing problems, why would you put on weight?

Briggs has asthma...as long as your definition of asthma is no stamina due to shitty cardio. hahahahahahaha, this thread is golden. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

yes you can as a matter of fact, the cardiovascular strength required to be a world class swimmer or track athlete is probably equal or greater than what it takes to be a world class fighter.. in fighting if you your cardio isnt as good you can make up for it through strength, experience etc... in other sports if you suffer from asthma and your cardio fails you lose everytime... dolans asthma was well documented and extreme, certainly worse than anything briggs "might" suffer from. my point was that through preparation, both mental and physical and pure hard work he was able to almost completely negate the effects... to swim 100 meters of all 4 strokes without stopping at a world class pace is a constant test of your breathing and cardio..... in boxing, as briggs showed, you can take a lot of breaks over 12 rounds. So is "Asthma" a myth? more of a mental thing? So is this "Swimmer" not on medication?

Can you compare any swimming competition to going 12 rounds though? yes you can as a matter of fact, the cardiovascular strength required to be a world class swimmer or track athlete is probably equal or greater than what it takes to be a world class fighter.. in fighting if you your cardio isnt as good you can make up for it through strength, experience etc... in other sports if you suffer from asthma and your cardio fails you lose everytime... dolans asthma was well documented and extreme, certainly worse than anything briggs "might" suffer from. my point was that through preparation, both mental and physical and pure hard work he was able to almost completely negate the effects... to swim 100 meters of all 4 strokes without stopping at a world class pace is a constant test of your breathing and cardio..... in boxing, as briggs showed, you can take a lot of breaks over 12 rounds.

tom dolan was a world class swimmer who attended the university of michigan (greatest university in the world) about 10 years ago... he swam almost every event including the individual medleys.... he was regarded as the top US swimmer and won multiple gold medals and set world records at two different olympics.... and he suffered from sever asthma..... shannon briggs is a homosexual, you can tell by the way he talks and admires his body Can you compare any swimming competition to going 12 rounds though?

So fucking what if he got asthma? What differences does it make? Stop boxing if you are sick. Next thing I know, guys are going to complain in NBA for being 5 foot 5. I really dont get it. how does it change anything? If you are sick and you seriously suffer then dont do the sport. Case closed. So my advice to Briggs, STFU and keep fighting or get the hell out of the sport.

I dont know if its asthma or not, but the guy throws 10 punches a round and is exhausted. There has to be something wrong with his breathing.

I dont know if you can use it in the corner.... shit I was wondering if boxers could use O2 system.

What the fuck you talking about? The asthma excuse ain't nothing new. That shit was blamed for his first loss against Darroll Wilson.

It's the insane muscle mass that he has. It's simple physiology. He's never had good stamina, and with the added juiced-up muscle mass, it's even worse. So the excuse he thought up was asthma. Not a bad idea on his part, but very transparent.

It's actually a little more serious than what you might think. There have been numerous anti-doping cases that have been initiated apparently from medication found in asthma inhalers. Not sure what the boxing commissions' rules are on these things, but it's true that some of the steroid formulations found in anti-asthma drugs could cause a positive drug test result. But I really don't know what Briggs' situation is. If you ask me, I think it's just a copout myself...

i think that you're right in calling that out, before you never heard anything about briggs' asthma, now it's all over the place. i say bullshit. i know/known plenty of athletes that have asthma and they trainned and prepared themselves with it and they did fine, they did what was neccessary to make sure that they didn't have an attack. everyone gets temorary asthma attacks when working out hard, be it from running or any other kind of cardio. back in the day to prevent athletes from getting "athletes asthma"(there is a technical term i just can't remeber it) they used to take Clembuterol*(spelling), which is used to help with breathing and prevents the minor attacks while preforming physical activities. also used in losing weight real fast, it's a respitory drug. clembuterol is now illegal at least over the counter, you can get a doctor to prescirbe it, but it is a banned substance in sports mainly bodybuilding because clem is a extremely strong weight loss drug, it gets guys shredded fast. they used to give it to trakc athletes because they would get the temp asthma more often then most. but back to briggs, it's nothing but a cop out, he didn't even do anything inside the ring to get winded....................if he wants to blame anythim blame the weight trainning and the lack of cardio. there are ways to prepare yourself when you have asthma, there are tons of porfessional athletes that deal with it too and they don't use it as an excuse when it benefits them.

is this realy his problem or is it some kinda lame excuse i dont know
