    "'By him boxing like he did, every other week, he was dropping the weight and getting his reflexes and skills back in order. It helped a lot. Shannon is in tip-top shape and the best shape I have ever seen him in. He's walking around right now at 242 pounds. He has another 2 weeks, so he will probably drop another 5 or 6 pounds. His hands are flying faster than ever. He knows that this is the last hurrah and he has to make good at it,' stated world-class trainer Eddie Mustafa Muhammad as he talked about how training has been going for Shannon Briggs, who's preparing for an upcoming October 16 clash with WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko."

    Those cannons are gonna be extremely loaded. Vitali better hope his chin can hold for more than 1 rounds so he doesn't get embarrassed and gets called out as a hype job that he is.

    Briggs hasn't been in the 240s since 2001.

    I do not think Briggs can go down to 240 in a normal way. That's very suspicious.

    In any case, are you doubting Vitali now?

    Why should I doubt Vitaliy KlitschKO? I guess you know he is the most feared fighter nowadays.

    I just doubt that Briggs could go down in weight dramatically like this.

    It is shocking but he must realise his best chance is being lighter so he doesn`t gas quickly. He also knows this is it for his chance of leaving a legacy behind.
