Shannon Briggs hits Wladimir Klitschko with a shoe after running up on him in the Gym

I love people who only act super aggressive when they are being held back, like if they are let go they are going to run directly through the person and obliterate them, but the second they slip through, they slow down and then just start talking ****, until they are once again held back, to which they become aggressive again :lol1: Yep. He was dragged out awfully easily... It's a stunt. The problem is that stunts won't work when Wlad has mandatories coming up. If he's struggling to find an opponent, it might be effective. Until then Briggs is better off using his effort on beating a contender. Wlad is one calm guy, btw.

i wish that shoe landed on his face

It's hilarious how calm and collected Wlad was. Almost thought he fell asleep in the middle of Briggs talking. Wlad would sleep him within a few rounds. Briggs just wants the payday I can't blame him for trying to get the paper though.

"What's the commotion - I heard shouting?!"

See, this is the way you confront the fighter you want to fight. Briggs should talk to Lara and school him on how he should have done it.

Brutal destruction. :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: Please! We are just discussing it. No more, no less.

Roid rage or something? Control yourself man looking really trashy.

Paranoid Roid Briggs probably finished protein bar sandwiches for lunch and is shitting boulders in his toilet about now.

If the shoe fits...

Looks like he hit Banks with the shoe

Shannon Briggs is such a lame a** idiot, has no shame or integrity. he was gonna have fight a couple a weeks ago but when he heard there was testing he didn't show up, roided to gills as usual. I remeber someone here on the forums had a funny picture of briggs yelling and flexing his muscles at weigh in against Vitali and the next picture shows Briggs after the fight in the hospital bed with a crushed face. :lol1::lol1: http://i58.tinypic.com/2nl6yqs.jpg

So Briggs couldn't push aside the 9 stone boy holding him back? There really wasn't much between him and Wladimir. He didn't even make a real lunge towards him.

:lol1::lol1: Wlad handled the situation quite well. I doubt Briggs would do that to a hot-headed prime Mike Tyson, he'd get KTFO. Is Briggs really this desperate for a payday? Wlad should give him the fight and then put him out of his misery.

hilarious.....wtf....lol

They were going to fight once. But Wlad pulled out. Shannon never forgave him. No, he never "pulled out". In the early fall of 2006, Briggs was one of several people who was in discussions with Wladimir, including Calvin Brock. There was never any agreement with Briggs nor contract signed. Emanuel Steward Talks About Klitschko-Briggs 07.07.06 - By Troy Ondrizek: Finally, the IBF heavyweight title fight between Wladimir Klitschko and Shannon Briggs became official today. So now with that news in stow, we can speculate, debate, and anticipate all we want. Thus, I decided to be nosy and call a manager friend of mine to find out what he thought of this fight, and he was on the phone trying to work one of his fighters into the undercard. Therefore, I said that I would catch him later, and he told me to wait, and that he had someone he would like me to talk to. I said okay, and to my surprise, it was Emmanuel Steward. I was caught a little off guard, but was able to throw some questions at him regarding the fight and how he thought things would transpire. Troy: Emanuel, First off, congratulations on getting Wladimir an exciting title defense. Now for the more pertinent questions, what stylistic problems does Shannon pose for Wladimir? Emanuel Steward: “Well, Shannon is big and fast and works off the jab and does a good job of throwing combinations. Shannon’s power is also right up there with Wladimir’s.” Troy: Fans are saying that this fight shouldn’t happen due to the fact that Shannon hasn’t really beaten any credible opponents to this point. So why pick someone like Shannon Briggs over say Calvin Brock? Emanuel Steward: “Well, Troy, you are right about Briggs not fighting any credible opponents to get here, but he is ranked and is always dangerous. Calvin’s last performance was horrible and we had Wlad slated to fight in New York and this fight is far more exciting than one with Brock. We needed to get a ranked opponent and we weren’t going to wait to see if Calvin was going to win or lose, but when we saw his fight, we knew that Calvin isn’t going to be a draw anywhere, even Madison Square Garden. Trust me, Troy, I would much rather be fighting Brock than Shannon. Briggs is so much more difficult and dangerous of an opponent than Calvin is. Calvin doesn’t do anything really well and his footwork isn’t good. Shannon is stronger and faster than Calvin is. Plus, you know that guys that aren’t always rated as the best can shock everybody and beat the best.” Troy: Are you referring to the Sergei Liakhovich coming out of nowhere to win in spectacular fashion against Lamon Brewster? Emanuel Steward: “No, I wasn’t but that is the perfect example. Liakhovich had such a long layoff and came back and proved how good he was, even though, he was largely unknown. Shannon, though, has been busy and we can expect to see a sharp Briggs in the ring.” Troy: Emanuel, would you employ a similar game plan against Briggs as you did against the heavy-handed Samuel Peter? Emanuel Steward: “Well, Troy, how can I put this..No! Peter is a one-dimensional fighter, who does nothing but club at his opponents. Peter doesn’t throw combinations, he doesn’t jab, and he doesn’t go to the body. All that you have to worry about is Peter clubbing you in the back of the head during a clinch. Shannon comes out strong and for four rounds or so is quite possibly the most dangerous fighter there is. Wladimir in facing Briggs and Chris Byrd has faced the two toughest styles out there today. Byrd is a very skilled technician, who uses his superior movement to elude and counter, and Briggs is about as fast and strong as they come and is in your face. No one can question Wladimir’s willingness to take on the toughest fights out there. And for all of those who doubt how dangerous Shannon is, I was there when Shannon had Lennox out on his feet early. I definitely know how dangerous Shannon is.” Troy: Without having to divulge too much information, what is your fight-plan to defeat Briggs? Emanuel Steward: “Our plan will be to survive the first few rounds and then control the pace of the fight and to try to take Shannon out, if given the chance. If a knockout is not available, we feel comfortable taking Shannon on with our boxing ability. We would prefer to get Shannon out of there, because he is always dangerous, given his big punch.” Brutal destruction. :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

This was Shannons best impression of Floyd Mayweather JR.

lmao........

I like how he remains seated throughout while Briggs is going lala

Wlad barely acknowledged him. I can just about understand kicking off when someone is in your face; but when the person is casually going on about their business, you just look like a mad man.
