    It was a little while back. He started on them front page threads about articles and came in here a few times. If I remember correctly he used his name BRIGGS in all caps. I'll see if I can dig some up, if not gone from too long ago.:yep

    People just bombed him, so he was like well **** ya'll then.

    Checked the members list and the Name he used is not there any more, BUT there is a member brigz101 listed that has not made a single post. hmmmm.....

    O.k.

    Briggs was sick before the fight with Iggy. He had pneumonia, so he could only train 4 days for that fight.

    He would have killed him, if he had trained 8 days :bbb.

    Briggs has no stamina, no Chin, throws 10 punches a round etc.

    I never want to watch him fight again.

    He last posted on the article about Wladimir beating Rahman. He basicly said he was coming after the 2 brothers and would knock their block off. I respect him as a man and as A FIGHTER.

    Shannon's recent fights have been the most boring by far. He obviously is in no shape to continue fighting.

    Early in his career i liked his style. Ok he lost some he shouldnt, but since he bulked up he looks horrible. But even with his high weight and non existing stamina, you still can see his skills. If he would have been down at 240,245 his whole career he could have been something. He had exceptional power and speed and could put some nice combinations together. So if he would be serious about a comeback with a good weight, i think he can easily beat guys like Arreola, Dimitrenko. You cannot rule him out against anyone, cause of his punching power. What i dont want to see is him coming back with 270 pounds huffing and puffing like a stranded whale not beeing able to move.

    I too would love to see Briggs come back. He never had a pretty style, but for some reason, I always liked the guy.

    @ Charles White

    Shan is still the man!

    I always love to see him standing in the ring with both hands down, fighting like a real man, without any guard.

    Briggs - Lewis is one of my favourite fights, if he can get into a good shape i don't see why he shouldnt come back
