Comments Thread For: Shannon Briggs Stops Rafael Pedro in 28-Seconds

[ChopperRead]

I think his head's fckd up because his first name is Shannon. Some guys get affectd by that and picked on and they end up weirded out. Pavlik is an exception but just look around, guys with girly names usually are strange cats...

Yeah, I mean, who'd you rather be, a Sultan or a Shannon?

He's lighter than he's been for a while, so that's a positive. The first round knockout isn't that much of a surprise, as it's what Briggs does best when fighting journeymen. He will need to fight a couple of decent fighters to prove he's capable of fighting for another title. I still maintain that he's the most dangerous fighter out there for Wladimir. He can only be dangerous if he gets the shot and comes in better condition than he has done in recent years, though.

It's worth keeping an eye on anyway.

A guy who got his ass whipped by and LOST HIS BELT to Sultan Ibragimov is a threat to Wlad. You've gotta be joking. Briggs is a threat to a stack of cheeseburgers, and that's about it.

I have a lot of respect for Shannon Briggs.

His fight against Lewis should be shown to all the overmatched misfits that plod along infront of the Klits and are gun-shy from the get-go.

Shannon Briggs showed what you should do when overmatched for a world-title challenge as he was against Lennox Lewis and that is have a real crack at it. The man went to war. He shook Lennox up a few times and maybe if the boxing gods were on his side he would have landed the bingo punch.

I'd trust a 38-year-old Briggs to give the Klitschko's far more problems than pretty much everyone the Klitschko's have faced recently, maybe barring big fat Cristobal who was certainly game. Briggs would throw bingo punches, he wouldn't get his **** jabbed in like Hasim Rahman.

Just don't show them his belt-losing fight against SULTAN IBRAGIMOV.

Everyone is scared of Wlad and Vitali for a very good reason: they are very big, very strong and they hit very hard. Period.

Briggs, like James Toney and a host of other big-mouthed has-beens out there, all want to get beat up by the Klitschkos for one reason and one reason only: they need the money. They don't care about winning, because they know that won't happen.

where did I say he was good enough to win?

I said I would trust him to at least go balls out and get knocked the f.uck out in good grace in the hope that he could've landed something big. Which is what overmatched contenders should ultimately be doing - not getting there faces jabbed in like pacifists.

Unlike most of the American challengers to the Klits that seem to leave their hearts on the plane, Shannon would show up with his in his chest beating and ready to go. This regardless of whether he just beat a complete bum or a fookin' window cleaner.

His fight against Sultan was disappointing though, I can't argue that case. Only that Sultan was a pretty uninspiring guy himself.

You've articulated what I was thinking myself. I certainly don't have respect for Briggs, as he's clearly not dedicated himself to the sport, asthma or not. But what you've written about challengers not going out on their shield is **** on. That Briggs vs Lewis fight should be what boxing is all about, not getting jabbed to death until you've softened up enough for Wladimir to finally pounce.

Briggs would still be a big underdog, even if he did actually train hard and come in at 250lbs. But a man of that size, who has that sort of power, can never be ruled out
