do you think he will be a legitimate contender. he looked imressive in his victory over mccline, and showed some heart. he has some good skills, but he might be a bit small for some of the super heavyweights

How about Brock vs. Peter? paul750 05-05-2005, 03:54 PM maybe brock and sam peter can fight to see who's the best up and coming heavyweight, but it's unlikely at the moment K-Yo 05-05-2005, 04:01 PM brock right now looks a better fighter than the one dimensional sam peter Tha Greatest 05-05-2005, 04:15 PM All I know is Brock beat McCline more convincingly than Byrd... and his won was not controversial AT ALL if it was a 12 round fight he may have had a chance of stopping him Warden11 05-05-2005, 04:42 PM I thought McCline looked REALLY sloppy in the Brock fight. Maybe it was Brocks style that gave him problems. TheGreat1 05-05-2005, 05:30 PM Brock is pretty good, i would like to see him in someone like barrett. The Troll 05-05-2005, 05:36 PM I still have not seen Brock vs McCline so I dont know. :confused: TyrantT316 05-05-2005, 05:58 PM may be a bit small...may not be an Ali or Tyson... BUT unlike many up and comers...he is a welcome addition to the division...heart, courage, will, combinations, decent pop, decent speed, confidence, smart, has a head on his shoulders... !!

BUT unlike many up and comers...he is a welcome addition to the division...heart, courage, will, combinations, decent pop, decent speed, confidence, smart, has a head on his shoulders... I totally agree! There are Punchers and there are Boxers.. I would put Brock in a same category as Byrd and Toney. Peter would have to join Tyson and is a different ball player. Peter Vs. Brock would be a wrong fight! They are both great prospects and there is no need to eliminate one so early in their carrier. Maybe one day when they are both title holders, this would be a good match up. But right now, they bring the new excitement to the HW division, so why shoot one down? sgtheny 05-05-2005, 06:23 PM brock will definantly be a contender in the near future. all he has to do is schedule a fight against a more established boxer. he would probably fit in at light heavyweight, i dont know if he could compete as well at heavy but we will see. !!

Others are: Rahman is already fighting Barrett. That only leave Peter and Whitaker. I already mentioned why he shouldn't fight Peter (read my post above) What "he has to do is schedule a fight against a more established boxer" are you talking about? Boxers don't "schedule" their own title shots. Perhaps what you mean to say is, he needs more fights against quality opposition to better establish himself. |
