According to Teddy Atlas Shannon Briggs was in the Flatbush Projects in New York, surrounded by 30 Crips and 20 Latin Kings who were about to rob the former heavyweight champ. Atlas came out of nowhere, knocking out the group of 50 thugs while Briggs sat in a corner shitting himself. Atlas stood over the 50 lifeless bodies, turned slowly to the camera and said, "Sorry, but it was time for a nap..."
I read Atlas' autobiography (which is very good, one of the best boxing books I have read also) and he stated he was set upon by about six guys or so, fought most of them off but one of them came at him with a knife and sliced his face open.
That guy he was arguing with was a smart mofoer. If he'd had gone outside and took Teddy up on his offer, Teddy would be serving life and that boys parents would be laying flowers at his grave every year.:deal
Most people get the urge to stab Atlas in the face whenever he starts dribbling ****. Someone was just lucky enough to be carrying a knife when Atlas started flapping his gums. That guy lived the dream. It went like this: Atlas: "Yeah, Tyson was getting all bitchy, so I flopped out my **** and smacked him across the face until he started crying for mercy" *STAB*
