    I've worked with a lot of different fighters and been part of a lot of different camps and Lamon is by far the most genuine and classy boxer I've ever met. At the Boys and Girls Club visit I had to pull him out with all of my strength to move him on to the next engagement we had in that busy day.

    He loves to spend time with kids and would happily sit and talk with children without a camera in sight than do a radio interview the whole world would hear.

    At the middle school visit he spoke with troubled teens who were hand-picked because they were atleast two grades behind and needed the encouragement. He told them not to give up hope because he knows what it's like to grow up in ****** without a father yet he still made it and so could they.

      Get's Seldon and then after some realistic opponents are Kingpin Johnson, Sam Peter or JD Chapman. Brewster is one of my fav fighters, dude was one of the most powerful fighters this decade. All his fights are entertainin wit huge punches bein thrown. Think he has some big fights left in him, too bad he had that eye injury and spent that time wit Buddy. Don't think training with Buddy was the best thing for him. Go Lamon, do work and god bless.

        Personally, I don't think fighting Chapman does much because although he has a nice ranking, he hasn't fought anyone and isn't likely to take such a dangerous fight unless it was for an astronomical figure.

        Sam Peter, man, that would be an absolute war. That would be one of the few fights in the heavyweights where you know that someone is getting carried out in.

        Fights I'd like to see after Seldon are Danny Williams, David Tua, Cris Arreola/Walker winner, David Haye and Sam Peter. All would be wars and FOTY candidates.

          Tua fight is impossible, Brewster already approached him and he said no. Arreola approached him and he said no, now him and Cameron are havin a real hard time gettin a deal. Peter, Minto or Kingpin would be good fights to happen for Brewster and heavyweight boxing.

            I wouldn't say any fight is impossible, if the money is right. If the Tua fight happens, it would be on an HBO card, but I still think it'd be the best heavyweight fight since Tua-Ibeabuchi.

            Johnson still needs some seasoning, he doesn't have the power to keep a guy like Brewster off of him. He was almost stopped by Bruce Seldon two fights ago.

            Minto would be a great fight for Brewster but it takes a lot of money to get these guys in the ring who would be decided underdogs.

              Lamon Brewster is a obviously a great guy however I lost a lot of respect for him as a fighter when he questioned Wlad Klitschko's heart and balls leading up to their rematch and then quit on his stool without even being knocked down or hurt.

                Lyakhovich fight took a lot out of Brewster. He was not the same Relentless Brewster in that 2nd fight. Btw, the same can be said about Lyakhovich, Brewster destroyed him as a fighter.

                  Buddy McGirt, who cares more for his fighters than probably any other trainer, was the one who threw in the towel. Remember, when Brewster went to the corner, McGirt told him straight up, "I know you're trying but it's not there tonight." And he informed the referee that the fight was over.

                  If Brewster went out there and made a big scene out of it, it would have been dramatic but the result would have been the same. The fight was over because the corner threw in the towel.

                  Interesting thing about the fight, Brewster took it on 5 weeks notice. He was out of shape, coming off of numerous eye surgeries and tore his left rotator cuff and never got into the fight. This is the business, I guess.

                  I know for a fact that Lamon has a tremendous amount of respect for Wladimir Klitschko, which if you don't then you're absolutely nuts. When Brewster knocked him out in 2004, everyone was saying "Oh, Klitschko is a bum and he should retire because he can't fight." Now look at him, he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

                  He realized what was wrong, came back and fixed them and now he's on top of the world.

                    When was the last time you had seen a heavyweight fight that was that great?

                    Lyakhovich was the better man that night and his conditioning was superior. Let's see if he can do it again. It'd be a lot of fun finding out for the fans.

                      Maybe within this year in fact...


                      Mrs. Brewster I wish your son very well in his next fight.
