    What's your interest with that "pineapple head"?

    The last time I saw him fight . . . he defended his belt by throwing 10 punches per round.

    I like Shan the man, but if he does not start fighting again he might have waited too long. Does anyone know if he is training right now?

    I don't know for certain, but I reckon he isn't.

    He's basically semi-retired now, he said as much just a couple months after the Ibragimov loss. Unless he gets something that really really interests him, like a primetime fight against a contender or a big payday, I don't think he'll come back.

    Thank you for that answer :good .

    I don“t see him get a big payday if he does not start making some tune-up fights. Thats rubbish. Shannon is now 36 years old, with the help of Don King he could have had the chance to fight Valuev. Shannon could easily box another 2 or 3 years.
    Damn shame.

    He'll probably fight some journeyman type opponents and get a title shot that way once again.
     
  7. Briggs is currently training to go up against Kobayashi in the Nathan's annual hot dog eating competition

    I like him too. I don't think he is currently training, but I sure hope he gets his ass in gear and starts. He will accomplish nothing unless he rededicates himself to the sport.

    He's 300+ pounds and never fighting again, that's what's going on with him. He throws 4 punches a round and gets tired after the first 5 punches he throws. That's also going on with him.

    I hope they give him a permanent gig commenting on FNF.
    Or, he gets to be in Transporter 3.
     
  15. All jokes aside. He was making some noise a couple years ago when he was knocking out tomato cans left and right. I also enjoyed the 12th round of his fight with Liakhovich.
