By Ryan ******** - It has been 9 months since former WBO heavyweight titlist Shannon Briggs dropped a decision to Sultan Ibragimov, in turn losing his valuable foothold in a shallow division. Since that disappointment, Briggs has been invisible as Wladimir Klitschko stepped forward as the most viable heavyweight, with Samuel Peter following in a distant second place. Briggs now appears ready to reemerge from his sabbatical, calling out everyone and anyone in the division. Ready to put the sting of the Ibragimov misadventure behind him, Briggs was loud, abrasive and defiant in his conversation with BoxingScene.com. [details]

He's right on the money with a lot of ****. He needs to fight a decent second tier guy like Minto or Skelton to get himself back in contention though.

Briggs has always been one of the best talkers in the division whether it being a bad-ass or being a articulate commentator. Thing is Briggs is an entertainer much like Don King. He also is one of those guys that never came close to living up to potential, oh well. As for fights, Don King turn down fights like James Toney and Evander Holyfield for Briggs so who knows what King has in store for Shannon.

Briggs has had his share of chances and blown it every time. I like Briggs but he talks too much **** for a choke artist. If he had endurance in fights he could be a champ but at this point in his career it's too late. He can call out whoever he wants but he ain't ever gonna be the man at HW.

Briggs needs to stop that desperate Margarito-esque calling out.
He got beat by Ibragimov. That's the guy he should be calling out. Ibragimov is no longer at the top, so maybe he will take the fight since he is coming off of a loss.
