    "He should fight Fres Oquendo.Fres gave Byrd all he could handle and I felt won the fight."

    That's the understatement of the year. The Byrd-Oquendo fight was the biggest robbery that I have personally seen (well, the one that sticks out in my mind the most I should say).

    And while I don't think Tua is 100% washed-up, Brock should stay away from him. That's a "too much risk, no reward" fight. If Brock dances around him and wins a UD, it would be boring and everyone would be saying Tua's washed up anyway. Then there's the 50% chance that Tua catches him and he gets KOed.

    Does anyone know what Ruiz is up to... does he have a fight scheduled? I'd like to see Brock fight him b/c it'd clear up two things. If Brock can't beat Ruiz, then he doesn't need a title shot right now. If Brock beats Ruiz, it would be a win over an ex-champ (who it's my understanding a lot of people thought beat Valuev sp?) and knock Ruiz down the heavyweight latter just a little more.

      There's a fight in the works between Ruiz and Ruslan Chagaev, the winner to face Valuev as a mandatory.

        What should Brock do now post Klitschko?

        IMO, Brock does not have the talent/ability to step it up at the championship level and should consider retirement from boxing and going back to banking. Its not that he's bad its just that he isn't that good and his total lack of charisma only hurts him.

        Any thoughts on what Brock should do now?

              Brock has stated publicly that he doesn't want to fight Sam Peter(they're friends). Besides, isn't Peter training for a rematch with Toney?

                  Toney-Peter I was IMO very entertaining; I hope the rematch is just as good and ends in a KO so there's no controversy.

                    Brock should fight someone who is a name but not too tough of an opponent... Personally I think he may have pushed a little too far too soon when he fought Wladimir. It was a huge step up, should've had a few more fights first.

                      it wasn't a bad fight but Samuel came in abit too big and the fight kinda slacked off until the last 30 seconds of the rounds but yeah and if the rematch takes place i hope it won't be so close so there won't be any controversy like the first fight...

                      Go Peter!....Go Toney!
                      i like both fighters and it's hard to make a prediction
