I tried to tell everyone that Brewster was a bum. He got beat by Liakhovich. He was one lucky, tough boxer that dealt with what seems to be a mentally-unstable Golota, then he draws a fan club. He's sorry! Byrd and Toney is about the best chance that we will get a decent heavyweight for now and if Toney doesn't get in shape, then all we have left is boring *** Byrd. The heavyweight division is horrible.
i agree
He was never overrated. He was clearly top 10, yesterday, but today perhaps not ;)
brewster only ever had a title because wlad ran mysteriously collapsed in the middle of the fight. he hits hard, but he lacks skill. he has continually made defecnes against bums. he was never a very good champion.
Are you sure it wasn't just lyakhovic who was great? Brewster nearly KO'd him in the 5th! I think Lyakhovic would beat Rahman or Toney no problem.Quote:

beat him at his own game ??? He was hurt in the 5th and dropped in the 7th. He beat Brewster staying on the outside and going to the body ;)Quote:

The only surprise was that his "reign" took a bit longer than I would have thought...
Don't get me wrong,I like Brewster, he has a big heart, but he is not really
champion-material,but then who is, in the heavyweight-division these days ...
Brewster got a good run and may get another chance,who knows...
Not overrated. Stupid fighter, that got beat by a better man. Brewster is like Tua. He could beat any heavyweight right now, but don't, just like Tua. If you have a fighter hurt, and you don't even try to capitalize, you're not very smart. Brewster only hit him with a few body-shots and hurt him, and then never went back to the body.
What the hell was he thinking? I give Sergei credit. He took a beating, but gave and a** whipping.
i dont think ppl rate dhim taht high ever? anyway he still has a hard punch and good heart & chin so at 32 hes strait ...its just another day at the ofice baby
I think Brewster is a little overrated. But thats why I love his fights, his flaws make for some of the most entertaining fights, and entertaining Heavyweight fights, of this era.

I'm not saying Liakhovich can hang with past generations of heavyweights, but in this low-end era he can certainly compete with the big boys.
