age is not on his side. he is in the best shape I've seen him in a decade but other then the serious beating he took from vitali we haven't seen him fight anyone since ibragimov. we really have no idea what he has left. i'd like to see what he does against another top 20 fighter.

Briggs doesn't want to get in with someone with a pulse, unless it's Wladimir. Shannon Briggs is notorious for taking the easy path to a title shot. I call it the "Shannon Briggs bum 'o the month route." He travelled that route for both the Vitali and Ibragimov fights and I don't expect him to travel any other way.age is not on his side. he is in the best shape I've seen him in a decade but other then the serious beating he took from vitali we haven't seen him fight anyone since ibragimov. we really have no idea what he has left. i'd like to see what he does against another top 20 fighter.Comment

He has horrible wind issues. You can here it when he talks. sounds like hes out of breath when he talks. A high rate heavyweight would with a good body attack would get him out there by 4. Youre right...the pulse has to be weak.Briggs doesn't want to get in with someone with a pulse, unless it's Wladimir. Shannon Briggs is notorious for taking the easy path to a title shot.

He's always had stamina issues due to asthma. I've been watching his short fitness vids on instagram and he seems like he's in great shape. He's swimming, doing stairs and aerobic fitness - he has to be in decent shape, right?Comment

he beat liakhovich with a come from behind KO with seconds left in the fight before he lost to ibragimov. I think briggs & liakhovich were both with don king at the time. I could be wrong but it was long ago..Briggs doesn't want to get in with someone with a pulse, unless it's Wladimir. Shannon Briggs is notorious for taking the easy path to a title shot.

Without a doubt he is in great shape. I know the past he did struggle with breathing due to his asthma like you said...With so many different types of meds now a days he may have found a good one for him. I still would have to see him in with a fighter who is more active. Or who at least has 40 bpm lol!Comment

While i dig your Ibanez and Carvin Legacy ..........i disagree with your view of that fight.
Briggs did stun Lewis..for sure.....but Lewis proceeded to put a f.kn beating on briggs afterward .
