LMAO!!!:: I LOVE that he pulled out the old "I had Pneumonia" line!!:laughing: :: I mean, a couple days ago he was asked about his health and asthma and he said that he was in the best shape and great health! Now he had Pneumonia? LOL!!!!:bears: :bears: :bears: :bears:
Shannon Briggs had the look. He was an agressive heavyweight with a good look and hbo noticed. He looked great blowing out butterbean's left overs so hbo took interest put him on a show with another up and comer although one way less regarded and unknown and briggs got exposed and blasted the fuck out. Then Foreman fight came. George was 48 and Briggs was very very scared. He got the very controversial decision in a fight that almost all thought he lost. Lennox Lewis wanted to gain in popularity by blasting a guy that stole a victory from a guy everybody loved (foreman) and so he did. Briggs continued to suck. Losing to guys like Sedrick Freakin Fields and he drew with frans botha. then briggs took some time off during which he tried steroids. then he tried them some more. then he fought Jameel McCline. Jameel a guy who is usually scared of a mouse bravelly outboxed easily this supposedly hardest hitting heavyweight (which he is not. not even close) then briggs went to japan and met up with bob sapp and THEN he really tried some roids. During his stay in japan he learned to promote himself. Then he came back to the states he started selling himself as if he was godzilla. a godzilla with asthma. He looked big buff and impressive knocking out butterbean's left overs. Then came white wolf fight. after 11 and a half rounds of absolutelly nothing briggs landed a punch and sergei was too exhausted from 11 rounds of posing. Briggs was the champ. Sultan came. Sultan Saw. Sultan threw couple punches. Sultan conquered. Briggs said he thought he won. He didn't really think that but what was he supposed to say after all the trash talking he did before? Look for this Godzilla to go back to the land of the asian man and talk thrash and do photo shoots in the next couple of years mixed in with one insignificent fight with k1 or something...
you know whats funny? is that you think that is funny or bothers me when in reality you just are ver UN-funny::
I don't think it bothers you, I just thought you were having another thread for attention. Reading the title of the thread before entering......I thought I'd share. maybe it DOES bother you :eeeek:
dsimon writes: Lok I don't get it and I know you know the routine brother so let me ask you a question about Briggs: Given his size and condition shouldn't Brigg's be doing cardio stuff? If he can get up to 275 shouldn't he be able to get down to 250 and throw punches? The reason I ask is maybe I am being niave, but I always figured, from my experience, that even with bad wind, you can improve your aerobic capacity through training considerably. What do you think?
I can only hope someone in your family has a stroke so you can experience it and not live through me ::
Brother Dsimon, Shannon has the Handspeed, power, even some skills.. but he is Lazy IMO.. you are right on brother.. he needs to RUN! Like Ali used to say the fight is won before under the lights.. it is won out on the streets, early in the morning.. Some cats these days just do not get in shape! I think it is crazy.. dude is making millions and does not get himself fit? WTF? If I trained him, he'd be doing cardio at least 5 days a week! sprinting as well as some long distance stuff... It amazes me that he is not doing that now! If he had great conditioning he could really be a force! I think he should be like 230 or so, not 275!
So you did have another stroke? I'm thinking no stroke, no foul this time but maybe I did bother you :dunno: I live in America, strokes in a family are statistically mandated:dunno:
:: What can I say? I'm a big fan of anyone that talks mad trash.. specifically saying that they were in great shape and greath Health.. then losing and claiming "I was Sick" :: :: The ridiculousness of it is hilarious:bears:
