5 reasons why to like and why not to like Shannon Briggs

[Benncollinsaad]

Here is my view on Shannon The Cannon and why one should like him and why one shouldn't.

5 reasons to like Shannon Briggs:
-he has asthma and still became a heavyweight champion
-he retired George Foreman (thank goodness!we thought we'd never get rid of that dull, wild swinging, aging fatass!)
-his no-nonsense, taking-no-bull****-from-governing-bodies attitude
-his hairdo (I personally like it )
-his punching power

5 reasons not to like Shannon Briggs:
-his stamina, altho not his fault really but really makes it frustrating to think how many fights he lost or didn't win because of lack of it
-his inconsistency in the quality of performances
-his somewhat arrogant behaviour in the ring, always trying to assure everybody he isn't hurt by a punch, lol!
-he verbally attacked Wlad Klitschko and accused him of only fighting "small guys"
-he has tried himself as actor...I think there should be a rule against boxers making movies DURING their fighting career

His losing to Iggy set up a partial unification when Iggy fought Wlad.

You mean Ibragimov?

His first name and hairstyle prevent me from ever liking him. But he seems like a cool dude nonetheless. Took it to Lennox like a man in those first few rounds.

Now, if we want to talk about why not to like Francois Botha instead...

Sure, why not?

Jeez, people are too quick with the reply button in this place. I have this habit of always editing and adding stuff to my previous posts.

So yeah, Botha... Fucking hell, if I thought Samuel Peter was bad, all I ever needed to do was watch a few White ****talo fights and have my mind changed. I've never seen a more idiotic-looking, bumbling, ****ty, useless lump of **** as that guy. I know I've always hated on Ibragimov, Maskaev, Valuev and Chagaev in the past, but Botha is just something else. I don't quite know how, but he actually manages to transcend their level of ****tiness.

I can't be the only one who thinks this way.

I prefer Iggy. Easier to spell.

Shannon came on my radio show the other day, he was actually very well spoken and seems to know what he's talking about. He also knows that with the current state of the Heavyweight division that he has the opportunity to make something of himself. He plans on fighting once a month, fighting off ring rust and hopefully working his way back up the rankings.

That sounds good. I hope he keeps that promise. Even with all his faults and shortcomings as a fighter, I just can't not like the man. He's got a good sense of humor and seems to be an easygoing, laid back guy. He also came up the hard way. He comes from the same side of the town as Tyson and Bowe, but hasn't ever been involved in anything indecent as far as I know.
