Shannon Briggs isn't the best but.....

It wasnt just his condition, I think its also his weight. He's 273 pounds! Plus it looks like he does too much weight training. Those two factors will slow you down and get you tired quickly. And he's not gettin any younger either. On another note, I think Wlad would stop Briggs in 4 if they fought, which doesnt look like it will happen anytime soon, if ever. Yes. Wlad would keep him away with his jabs and land some nice straight shots on him... it would be a ko simular to the one he had on Brock.

I DIDn'T MAKE AN EXCUSE FOR BRIGGS LOSING CUZ HE HAS ASTHMA!! I GIVE HIM PROPS FOR FIGHTING WITH IT no excuses

You are incrediably dumb if this is all you can come back with. If you dispute what I'm saying maybe you should try talking to your medical doctor. I forgot you live in a trailor park and haven't seen a medical doctor since you were a kid. On that note, I 'm going to put you on ignore. Floyd is either lying about haveing asthma or one of the dumbest posters on this website... Wonder which it is, I guess after him posting a response like that I guess he's incredibly retarded.

Learn to fucking read ignoramus. I didn't say anything about there being a cure for asthma. The word treatable is very different from curable. If you don't understand then resort to dictionary.com and learn the difference. I have asthma and know what I'm talking about. Inhalers are just quick relief medications you take for emergencies. There are long term control medicines that prevent the symptoms from occuring. If you take these consistantly you rarely have to resort to inhalers. Most important is knowing what specifically triggers the asthma attack (environment, food, etc) so you can alleviate the causes. I use to take long term control medicines (albuterol, flovent, and accolate ) consistantly but since I cleaned up my diet and started taking fish oil (omega 3's), I have not gotten any asthma attacks even during the winter. I use to have it very bad during the winter months. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Theres no cure for Asthma, it's called a inhaler. And theres differenct cases of Asthma, I don't know what type Briggs has but its still a shitty excuse. But Asthma can be extremly bad. You start huffing and breathing really heavily if you don't use a inhaler. Basically, people who have asthma shouldn't even be allowed in the ring if its a really bad case of it. They can seriously get killed in the ring because of it.

Asthma is a legit excuse and it does explain his lack of activity and embarassing output to some extent. HOWEVER if he was some nobody we wouoldn't even be talking about it. Fact is that Briggs is a disgusting fighter to watch and easily one of the worst to ever gain the HW title

Anyone that uses asthma as an excuse for Briggs losing his fight is very ignorant and needs to do a simple internet search to learn more about this disease. In this day and age asthma is a very treatable disease. There are many athletes that have asthma and it doesn't stop them from engaging in physical activities. Just do a google search and you will see there are lots of medications that effectively treat asthma.

he has no balls. Really??? how do you know??

Do you think him shooting up on steroids helps improve's his asthma or makes it worse? he took steroids??? really?? than how come he was never investigated and never got suspended or anything?

it effects you a lot... not making excuses he got his ass handed to him but i give him props for fighting with asthma.....that's just me

Briggs and his asthma sounds like the kid at school who claimed to have asthma because he didn't want to play sports in gym lessons. Having asthma is not an excuse for being the slowest and most borin fighter in the division.

also i heard that on march he had a pneumonia, and thats something that in 2 months you are still far away from your 100%...so that must have affected too. im also not making excuses :P...but the guy has a merit just standing there

people here are bashing Briggs for not fighting but you can't really bale the guy. I give him all the props in the world for fighting with asthma and winning a heavyweight belt twice. He is extremely large and Astham is really bad.... i have friends who get tired as hell after jogging for 10 minutes. Last night he got dominated... i'm not books he won 2 rounds Sultan did a fantastic job... its just my opinion. thats a bunch of bs. I have an ex that had asthma and she'd run 5 miles a day without breaking a sweat. its all a lame excuse by a joke of a fighter

Fuck Briggs, fuck his asthma, and drop some loads on his dreads! sorry, just watched the fight and was bored to incredible anger. gtfo out of the sport Briggs. Asthma boy loser

People with Asthma should't be allowed to box, so we don't have to listen to all the excuses about how they suffered with Asthma and thats why they lost. They didn't lose because they suck, they lost because Briggs is a 273 pound retard who has Asthma :owned: no. I'm not making excuses... he lost fair and square he knows his diseases and weight so it's no excuses... but i still give the guy props for fighting with Asthma and he was a 2 time champ(even if 1 was a robbery and second was a prayer)
