About fighting with asthma ,Shannon stated:
“It’s hard fighting …..“I’ll be honest with you, I was born with it, I’ve been fighting it all my life, I’m heavyweight champion of the world, and I’m still fighting it. I’m not only fighting people in the ring, I’m fighting asthma. No one knows what it’s like to be in a fight and you’re thinking about breathing and not the opponent. It’s tough to deal with.”
...if you want to become heavyweight champion of the world and you got asthma, you’ll do whatever it takes”

I beg to differ, I know exactly what it is like. I have severe Asthma, have been running 5k,10k and half marathons for years. When I was in Iraq, I have know idea what happend, but when I got back to the states I ended up with severe Asthma. I also do Muay Thai and a mix of other forms of fighting. I am no longer allowed in the ring since I donated a Kidney 6 years ago, but I still run and nothing will stop me. So I do know what it is like. I also have to remember to breath while I sleep. I just wanted you to know that there are several people who have this problem, but it is the people who give up that allow it to defeat them.
