I have a unique opportunity to interview Shannon Briggs this week. . . .

Question

If you had the chance to speak with Shannon, what would YOU ask him? I'll consider any serious responses.

Answer 1

mrraraavis gave some really good questions. Especially the weights he used to bulk up which made him slower and sapped his stamina greatly.

Come back and tell us the answer to that cause Id like to know what his reason was as it obviously  was for the worse.

And ask him about Lewis's chin, Casue he hit Lewis with a huge shot and Lewis just smiled with his arms down and let him hit him. Then knocked Briggs down in return.

Answer 2

I would ask him why didn,t he put more effort in his boxing career and leave all of the other things he had going on out side the ring alone

Answer 3

What's his favorite team to play against!

Answer 4

I personally would ask him about his weight lifting program - pros and cons? It seemed apparent that he hit them pretty hard in his later fights compared to his earlier fights. Also I believe it was said that he suffers from asthma and I would question him about this obstacle.

Of course his biggest win was his upset of George Foreman and I would definitely like to know his strategy going in to that fight and if he was ever hurt or felt he hurt big George that night. Also, what was going through his mind when he was losing to Serguei Lyakhovich and the time was ticking away?...2.59 of the 12th round he knocks him out- unbelievable!  Ask him about Lennox Lewis and who the toughest opponents he fought was and many more questions along the same line of thinking. I was impressed that he knocked out Ray Mercer as well.

Briggs is very articulate and intelligent when it comes to boxing and I heard him say that he is a big fan of the current light heavyweight division and it would be a great opportunity to just talk about different fighters. I am sure you will have a great time and enjoy yourself.
