Shannon Briggs Comeback

[joeboxer]

Well, I see you're full of boxing knowledge. Briggs is not from Ireland, he's from New York. And he's black.

You have to read the whole page man! I never said that he was Irish, I said he shouldn't be named Shannon. I was telling Eye8ou or whatever that he had no reason to be named Shannon, even if he is Irish, we he's not so you prove me point even more.

Shannon Briggs is one of the biggest frauds in the history of boxing.
He got a lot of hype because he was a New Yorker....& because he had the dreads.

He never won a fight of significance....& I'll never forget his first loss...
He headlined HBO's "Night Of Young Heavyweights" (Tua KO'd Ruiz, Golota KO'd D. Nicholson) & took on the undersized Darroll Wilson.
After storming Wilson & having him hurt, Briggs ran into a hurdle......Wilson stayed up & shoved a jab in Shannon's face. You could just see all the fire put out in Briggs, right then & there.
After that, he was schooled by Wilson, before getting knocked silly.

He then blamed it all on ASTHMA.
Teddy Atlas was his trainer, & was so embarrassed by Briggs & his excuses that he went & quit.


What's this fraud coming back to , anyway ?

.... former Linear Heavyweight Champion of the World, Shannon Briggs, will return to the ring after nearly a one year lay off.

Briggs was nothing, particularly Linear Champ. I must have missed that fight. Maybe it was his IBU Championship?

Even an old/fat George out-pointed Briggs, when Briggs was prime. On that day, the judges made it plain that a changing-of-the-guard was required and gave Briggs the decision. Other than that, Briggs' successes have been limited. He gave Lennox a few rounds of trouble, but ran out of gas.

Shannons Briggs is coming-back to make a couple bucks, but will never be a threat, even in the sad Heavy Scene.

Joe ... your problems began when you read the post by Eye8you. Your life, like so many others in these Forums, will be immensely more interesting and imaginative if you put Eye8 on your "ignore" list. Otherwise, someday again, you'll take his bait and waste your time, until you figure-out he's really got nothing to say.

It was the IBU. But the piece you quoted from me was just part of a story I took straight from the main page.

Don't care what you say shannon is a very common guys name. Besides you could change his name to Bruiser and shannon would still suck

Good point. Bruiser is a way better name than Shannon.

Maybe you think it's okay to have a boxer named Shannon but what if he had got a lucky punch and knocked out Lennox Lewis? What then? The heavyweight champion of the world would be named Shannon. That's what.
