[LMFAO]

The "Wailer" vs the "Inhaler".

[Ogecca MaMa]

**** yeah Briggs, good luck) I have asthma, too. but I doubt you can do **** agaisnt Vitali.

And for those asthma weak ass peops, keep supporting him, if you want somethin to do - you do it. ive been in hospital because of asthma 3 times per year and still I keep training, world thai-box champ etc. asthma is just an excuse, this message from Briggs excually pissed me off. weak ****ers

[Muradyan]

Hes going to get knocked out for people with asthma?
What a nice guy.

[starkiller]

He doesn't even have Asthma as bad as he makes out to be, if he did he'd have an Asthma Attack in the ring.

This is pretty cool. I had Asthma bad as a child; luckily I outgrew most of it. Once or twice a year I find myself unable to breathe and have to have medical treatment.

Some people cannot do basic cardio without having an inhaler with them out of fear of having an attack. It's seriously a hard thing to live with. If I try to go running outside in even slightly cold weather I lose my breath after three or four minutes and have to stop completely to avoid having an asthma attack.

As for people talking about Brigg's steroid use: Asthmatics get prescribed steriod-based medications all the time. Cry me a river. You guys seem to forget Vitali Klitschko got busted for steroids and banned from the Olympics.

However, Briggs' inevitable loss wont have anything to do with Asthma.

he should be saying that he dedicates this fight " to all those who gas early in boxing!".................

[McFearless]

I strongly support Briggs here. I have asthma myself, and it makes really difficult to do any type of cardio without pushing yourself too hard. Sometimes you can barely breathe at all, just relaxing on a couch and watching a movie. Much like anxiety attacks, unless you suffer from it yourself, you just don't understand. For Vitali to be so ignorant makes me laugh. I hope Briggs shocks the world.

What about sex? How does that work??
Surely it must be an issue

Incredibly, given the day and age, two-time heavyweight champion and upcoming title challenger Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs (51-5-1, 45 KOs) is once again having to publicly respond to derogatory remarks about asthma made by a current heavyweight champion. [Click Here To Read More]

Dedicate your purse instead...i pretty sure they will appreciate that more.

I can understand Brigg's frustration. Asthma is a very serious condition. Three people that I have known have died from the condition. One was only 7 years old at the time of his death. The other two were brothers who passed away within 6 months of each other. It is a very serious conditon and Klitschoko shouldn't have declared it as not such a deadly condition. I don't think he really paid attention to what he was saying.

What Briggs should be figthing is for all the steroid abusers that Vitaly just called out, that's what Briggs should dedicate this fight to.

Steroid abusers like Vitali, amirite? You know hes been caught for steroids?
