Seriously fight someone or sod off its boring....we all know wlad paid him to hype all that crap a couple of years ago...theres a wlad documentary on netflix and you can clearly see briggs in wlads gym laughing and joking lol...fake as f**k
That's all Briggs has these days.
He's fat, ancient & wheezes like an old diesel engine with a clogged DPF; he can't fight anybody serious anymore.

I think Shannon has won over some fans with his antics rather than anything he's done in the ring of late. He's a personality but he's nothing more than a small obstacle now to the top guys. I hope he gets the pay day he's looking for and walks away without taking too much of a tanking.

To be fair, he isn't fat, he's built like a brick shithouse, but unfortunately he is as mobile and throws as many shots as one also.

He has the dictionary definition roid monkey look. That hulk hogan esque barrel chest.

He wants a big money fight straight away, without taking risks with smaller fights against rated, dangerous opponents and he thinks shouting is going to get him there.
But Eddie is to tricky for a chum like Shannon Briggs. He said clearly if he wants big money first he needs to take few meaningful fights.
You could replace the name "Shannon Briggs" with "David Haye" in the quote above and nobody would disagree

Yes I was thinking that too. The big difference is that Haye is still young and that alone increases his credibility as a top contender compared to Briggs. Also, he was not demolished in his last meaningful fight unlike Briggs. More importantly Haye has big following, he generate big viewing numbers. And that puts him in a strong position to make massive fight without shouting "go champ" and beg promoters for a payday. He does need a credible fight though. Thats why he was pushing for Browne. Maybe this drug situation forces Browne to come down form a high horse and take Haye offer, if its still there.

Convinced he's a paid court jester...and that on the promoters 'secret' forum you can click, book and collect.

He's down to fight on Hayes undercard next month so I'm assuming he still is.
he is back in usa training for fight on haye undercard, opponent tba, if he comes through he will fight haye in july, then haye (if he beats briggs) is looking for a world title tilt in november........and haye will travel if needed, he has no choice.

Was hoping he'd be up against Cornish on the Burns card next month but no such luck. I can already see a WWE style stand off at the end of the Haye show with the two of them. Like the end of an episode of RAW back in the day!
I believe there is talk hewill fight on David Haye's undercard with a stipulation in the contract that should both men prevail in their bouts they would meet next.
Although it's hard to see Hearn letting this happening as its a ready made cash-cow fight for AJ as his self promotion sells to the casuals wheather we like it or not!
Briggs has done more than enough to get onto a bill over here, why aren't people falling over themselves to sign him up? Or maybe they are. enjoyed every second of that video. Born entertainer and amiable!
