    Only seen pictures of him with a jacket on but he looks huge! Has he been known to carry a lot of weight before training?

    He was 266 lat time he fought, I believe. He needs to be 250 to have any chance against Vitali.

    Shannon is in very solid shape, but it is not good for him in fact... He is overly muscled and can't lose the bulk.. He is very bodybuilderish by appearance, and is as slow as ****... It is painful to watch him move, it takes him a half hour to put a one two together.
    His Power is incredible, but his fluidity is gonna lose him this fight.. He will be in the high 250's and strong as hell , but pedestrian..

    God Bless..

    :yep Vit might better watch his ass for about 2 or 3 rounds, after that it's likely all over for the "Cannon".

    Depends on whether he's taking the asthma medicine.

    Briggs wont land a meaningful punch. Way to slow and predictable, and his footwork is terrible. This will be a one sided bore fest.

    He's in good physical shape. I'm surprised you ain't seen the pictures already.

    He's in shape enough to fight people at a carnival. Briggs is a big let down, he was doing great against Lennox Lewis... then he got stomped!

    That was his moment... nobody cares about the rest.

    Briggs always looks huge because he's so heavily muscled. I saw him fight in New York a few months ago, and he weighed about 268 lbs. He wasn't at all fat, just muscular.

    Yes. I think his power is all he'll have, and the longer the fight wears on, the less his chances will be.

    But then again, look at how his clocked Liakhovitch, exhausted in the last round, as big as a bear. He was so exhausted in that fight, I was even tired watching him.

    Briggs will be all muscular, but poorly conditioned like always and will either get starched in a few rounds, or huff and puff his out of shape ass to a booooring decision loss.
