    Interesting stuff. Seems like Teddy Atlas was breeding Shannon to become a 6'4 Mike Tyson.

    I forgot Shannon was one of Teddy's guys. Between that and the asthma, he was doomed, I guess.

    :lol: This made me laugh out loud. Why is it that Teddy can never pull it off?

    Does anyone know why or when he parted ways with Shannon The Cannon?

    ^^What happened there? I saw Shannon get knocked out. I heard that he simply fought the wrong fight, but I heard also that his ashma (sp) had an effect on his performance?

    "A 6'4 Mike Tyson"....yeah right. :patsch

    There was a lot more to Tyson than huge power & quick KO's.

    It's people who liken Tyson to the likes of Tua & Briggs who think he never deteriorated...:verysad



    P.S: Nice video.

    Well, you saw the video. Teddy kept comparing Briggs to the early Tyson. Fat chance.
