Shannon Briggs

Era - 1990s / 2010s - Boxing - Heavyweight

Perhaps best known these days for having perpetually stalked Wladimir Klitchko in the latter years of his career, Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs is a Lineal Heavyweight champion and at his best was a handful for most top fighters he encountered. While his asthma limited his stamina, Briggs had two fisted power and the hand speed to deliver blistering combinations.

Briggs, having escaped destitute poverty in his youth, was a decorated amateur boxer before going professional in 1992. While he picked up a knockout loss against fellow prospect, Darroll Wilson, Briggs managed to obtain a fight one year later against George Foreman. Foreman, despite dropping his actual belts, was still considered the Lineal champion following his historic victory over Michael Moorer. The fight itself saw Foreman as the primary aggressor, and while many including HBO's in-house scorekeeper Harold Lederman would give Foreman the victory, the judges gave Briggs a majority decision.

The Cannon then went on to fight Lennox Lewis in 1998 for his championship belt, and while he gave the champion a determined challenge, it would be Lewis who emerged victorious by a TKO. Briggs continued on with his career defeating the dangerous Ray Mercer, taking a belt off Sergei Liakhovich and losing to Sultan Ibragimov. He would also suffer a crushing defeat against Vitali Klitchko, before coming back again and following his brother Wladimir with the incessant call of "Let's go, champ," even pursuing the champion out during a paddleboarding session, in restaurants, press conferences and the gym.

He never received that fight.
