Former heavyweight champions Shannon Briggs and Wladimir Klitschko have once again crossed paths on social media with a recent posting by Klitschko mentioning Briggs. It did not take long for Briggs to respond with the following:
“All I want for Christmas are Wlad’s two front teeth,” said Briggs. He is still hopeful to land his long-pursued showdown with Wlad in 2020 as Briggs is planning a comeback. Briggs has also had a reunion it appears with his former manager Scott Hirsch. The last time the two worked together Briggs beat the odds and became heavyweight champion of the world in 2006. When asked if he and Briggs have reunited Hirsch stated, “Yes, but even bigger this time as partners pushing the ‘Let’s Go Champ’ brand with my son Zach his son Chan,” said Hirsh. He also mentioned that Briggs is quite the humanitarian donating his own money and raising money toward building homes for the victims of the Haiti earthquake. Briggs is hopeful that a big showdown with Klitschko can help build awareness towards these and other causes.
This is just what boxing needs, another 48-year-old heavyweight on the comeback trail.
Briggs is nothing more than a PITA blowhard with a stuck record tic saying “Let’s go champ” for whatever pointless reason. He should invest in taking his Adderall more frequently and study the concept of compliance to medication. Briggs had his chance in the ring fighting Klitschko and got his a^& handed to him. I recall after the fight he was whining about his asthma kicking in during the fight and that is why he lost. Yeah, ok. Shannon, just admit it, you are not the same fighter as Klitschko and were outgunned. Yep, it’s that simple for the fans and analysts to see.

Briggs isn’t fixing anything in Haiti. The Clinton foundation fixed Haiti right?
Rob excellent point. Briggs is utilizing these cheap shot angles for humanitarian causes as a why to get in the spotlight and line his own pockets. Yep, Clinton foundation did have the biggest impact in Haiti. However, on a side note, Haiti’s corrupt and worthless government pocketed most of the cash and gave little to the people. Haiti has some interesting history. The birth of HIV (animal born virus) was speculated to have started in Haiti and not in actual Africa.
I believe that the Clinton Foundation was the primary coordinator of efforts in Haiti, that doesn’t mean that Briggs didn’t contribute significant funds and effort in fund raising. Just because he’s shooting off his mouth trying to get one last pay check in the ring doesn’t mean that he’s incapable of helping others.
Some wont argue why we brought we brought our points up knowing how Briggs acts so juvenile at times. If Briggs would disclose his tax records and/or declaration of donation(s) guess that ends the humorous debating, correct?
Yes, I’m sure Briggs would be happy to disclose his tax records in order to satisfy your skepticism. Since he’s a public figure we should expect such disclosures, just like we get from our elected officials.
Partial redaction is possible just like FOIA…..Yep, can still be done
This would be very exciting to watch. Both guys have stayed in shape and would make a great fight. Briggs is very hype and the excitement can go viral. A great story for all boxing fans.
Can’t see how two way over the best by date would make for an interesting fight.
I would that Wlad has enough sense to stay retired but if Briggs wants to keep fighting, call out Lou Savarese.
Briggs would beat wlads ass. He has his number mentally.
Maybe Wlad is smarter and realizes Briggs is a blowhard loudmouth with nothing else constructive in life to do, but to stir needless immature rants that are pointless.
Scott Hirsch is a great manager
LETS GO CHAMP
I discussed this with Briggs the other day. I also made sure he put my garbage cans back on the sidewalk after emptying them this time.
They explained in the last stanza that this is merely a promo for fund raising in Haiti. Hyping for the cause.. Klitschko does the stuff too.. They want to be “philanthropists” because its trendy. This is less about boxing and more about …how great am I, doing such great things for people… Worship me in all my greatness.
Briggs is hopeful he can get another mention anywhere. Where is Derrick Jedlicka when you need him?
Does anyone remember Vitali vs. Briggs, it was pure murder. Like real destruction. Shannon, please go back and be really quiet quiet quiet now, the last 10 years didn’t exist.
