People call Shannon Briggs a lemon or a turkey, but Tyrell Biggs was the ultimate lemon as a pro... I prefer "The Cannon" all the way.... MR.BILL
Briggs at age 38 and 262 muscle-bound pounds is still a hulk and a bad mother of a duck in the ring... But Briggs was out-classed by the superior Vitali Klit... MR.BILL:bbb
Briggs who fought Lewis stops the Biggs who fought Tyson. Biggs was too green to have taken the Tyson fight and I dont believe he ever recovered mentally.
theres was a interview posted on here earlier with shannon briggs.he said he first got an interest in boxing after watching tyrell biggs fight
Biggs via wide UD, Briggs wouldn't be able to stop him before gassing & he'd get schooled. However, Briggs could stop the mentally shot Post-Tyson Tyrell.
He wasnt a lemon just a drug abuser. He also got cut really bad by David Bey before facing Tyson. His career went really fast and he was put in tough early because of his olympic stature. He was far more skilled than Briggs who could do very little besides throw a few hard right hands before completely gassing. Remember Briggs lost to Darrol Wilson when he was considered a real force in the division. Wilson who was a fringe club fighter was next knocked out quickly by David Tua.
Shannon might have been crude and beaten by a few lesser opponents, but I'd still favor him to beat Biggs... Tyrell was a good boxer, but he simply could not take it, and nor did he have anything behind his shots. I don't see him getting Brigg's respect, and trying to outpoint him for either 10 or 12 rounds would be a tall order.. I think Briggs wins by KO.
