Tyson, L. Lewis, and Brewster

[AllEyesOpen]

I'm sure Brewster is still a major factor in the HW division, once he gets his eye fixed, he put up a great fight for a guy who lost an eye in the 2 or 3 round (i think). As for what he did to Golota, it was a smart move, You want to get Golota out ASAP, cause Golota has proven that even if he winning that he'll just snap & use your nut sack as a speed bag.

All three of these fighters have KO'd Golota in dramatic fashion. Golota has proven throughout his career to be very tough and skilled. It is possible the he out fought champions, Bowe twice, Bryd, and Ruiz. His losses to Tyson and LL where pretty much overlooked because hell it tyson and LL. So what does this say for Brewster? Is he really just that damn good to do what 3 prior champions couldn't? In his last 8 fights he won 7 by KO, and the other fight was his best friend who he admitted let his personal feeling get in the way of business. Yesterday Boxrec had brewster ranked 22. They had a world champion ranked #22 that is crazy. Out the the 21 fighters ranked over him, the only one i can really see beating brewster is Toney. VK and would be very good fights that could go anyway. So be honest with yourselves and please tell who could actually beat brewster and why?

golota was the opposite of tough. he was a mental weakling which is why he never became a champion

I just watched the fight again, Did anyone notice that Brewter is a righty, yet he Kd Golota 3 times with his left, how powerful is this guy?

he has good power but golota didnt exactly prepare himself either. he was 10+ lbs heavier than his previous fights and hadnt a bead of sweat on his body

Brewster has to sharpen his skills (especially his defense) up, continue to work on his cardio, and be sure to pace himself better. I don't like the roll of fat I saw around his waist a week or so before he fought Sergei. He can't let his midsection balloon up between fights. He needs to stick to a sensible diet, year round, like Hopkins, and then he can concentrate on his skills, and not his weight, in training camp.

In terms of natural ability, Brewster is up there with the best at the moment. He is incredibly powerful, has a chin of granite, and balls of steel. He has only himself to blame if he doesn't pull himself up by his bootstraps and bounce back from this loss.

IMO he is the most gifted (I consider courage and fortitude gifts as few possess them as Brewster does) American heavyweight and the most dependable "line of defense" we have. He is better than Rahman, even if he isn't as skilled.

He's a true gentleman and a great ambassador for the sport. I wish him luck, and I'll be backing him in most of his upcoming fights.

Golota had all the talent in the world. But to be a great fighter and a great champion you need to have your head together. Mentally there is nothing up there. I still believe that your mentality in the ring needs to be the same level as your talent. Tyson was a bull for many years and he intimidated his opponents, but he proved on quite a few occassions that if you bullied him back he would collapse under pressure which he did twice against Holyfield, and against Douglas, Lewis, Williams and Mcbride. Golota did not like to get hit or rushed and that was a direct result of his mentality being weak.
