Shannon Briggs STUNS Media: “The Cannon is More Like a Water Pistol!” – Breaking Boxing News

“The cannon is more like a water pistol!”–Buddy Ruffin, JR., Coffeyville, KS (President of Be Quiet Already Shannon Briggs Before Wladimir Klitschko Shuts You Up Fan Club (99,841,098 members and our phone lines are blowing up right now with new members joining.)

“Never before in history has this been done. You are talking about twenty-some former heavyweight champions of the last forty years are coming together for one big family reunion. All the champs: Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Wladimir Klitschko and The Champ Shannon Briggs – two-time heavyweight champion.

“On Saturday night expect action. There are eight heavyweight fights with all of the former heavyweight champions sitting around the ring. You see Holyfield sitting right there, then you see Tony Tucker over there, Tony Tubbs, Chris Byrd, Hasim Rahman – this is unreal. It’s never been done before. Thanks to Kris Lawrence of the Heavyweight Factory and the Hard Rock Hotel it is happening.

“I was fat. I was going to Publix every day and eating fast food, fried chicken, ice cream and was in a depression. Then it hit me one day, I said ‘man, I am the champ. Get it together.’ I weighed 380 lbs. Close to 400, sitting on the couch fat and depressed. Everybody that saw me just laughed. I knew I had to do something about it. Look good feel good. So I started changing my diet and I started working out and I started walking – every day. Then I said to myself “Let’s go champ,” then boom it came to me.

“I feel phenomenal. Now I am eating right – nothing but organic food, no juice, no soda, nothing but filtered water. Look at me I’m in the best shape of my life. Look at me – I’m in better shape at 43 then I was at 23.

“I realized that it’s also about the people you are around – if you are around good people then good things happen. If you are around negative people you are going to become negative. If you want to be happy you’ve got to hang around happy people.

“I feel like I am inspiring people. Win lose or draw I will feel good. I get calls every day from people saying thank you because they face adversity and they say to themselves ‘Let’s Go Champ.’

“The heavyweight division needs Shannon Briggs and boxing needs Shannon Briggs.

“I’m in this hot gym every day. It’s 110 degrees every day. They (naysayers) can say what they want. I have been in here for two years straight.

“Klitschko didn’t want to fight me then and he doesn’t want to fight me now, but the people are going to force the fight

“They laughed at George Foreman but then he upset Michael Moorer. This is going to be the biggest upset in boxing history – Shannon ‘The Cannon’ Briggs knocking out Wladimir Klitschko.

“On Wilder: Wilder didn’t want the fight. My partner Kris offered him $2M and he wouldn’t take it. 954-761-5754 – Al Haymon call me right now. I’m ready champ.

“Klitschko is going down hard. I want the title back. I had the title twice but I was young and I was inexperienced and immature. Who would have ever thought that Shannon Briggs grew up. And I feel good. I have a little gray hair on my chin but I feel fifteen years younger than I am.

“Everybody is going to think, wow, I thought he was just this guy having fun and laughing.

“The heavyweight division is back. You’ve got Trevor ‘The Dream’ who won a title Friday night and I am ready to take over the heavyweight division.”
