Shannon Briggs (48-4-1 42 KO’s) has definitely had a roller coaster kind of career.  As a young up and coming knockout specialist of a heavyweight boxer, he was unexpectedly TKO’ed by Darroll Wilson, just as he was moving up the top ten list.  But, just five fights later, he reached the ultimate peak, as he defeated then heavyweight champion of the world, George Foreman.  You can say what you want about that fight as far as questionable decisions are concerned, but the truth remains that Briggs went into that fight as a big underdog and did enough in the eyes of the judges to walk away with a majority decision, and the heavyweight championship.  The roller coaster came tumbling down though in his very next fight when he was defeated by future hall of famer Lennox Lewis in five very exciting rounds of boxing.  Briggs has Lewis hurt in the first two rounds, but Lewis then found his groove, and sent the champion tumbling to the canvas a few times before the referee waved off the fight.
