Could Calvin Brock rule the heavyweight division?

Here are the facts:

1. His on Friday Fight Night Round 3, thats got to mean something. ;)

2. He is 29 and 0, 22 by KO.

3. 31 Years old.

4. Holds the WBC Fecarbox Heavyweight Title & IBA Continental Heavyweight Title.

5. He is 6'2 with a reach of 77'.

6. Tom Tankello trains him, considered the best young trainer in sport today.

7. He beat: Terry Smith who was 20-0-1 at the time, Clifford Etienne,
Jameel McCline, Timor Ibragimov who was 21-0-1 at the time.

8. Boxrec world ranking for him is #1.

Gimmie your 2 cents, I want to know what the people think about him as the
next Heavyweight champion.

NO!!!!


Hope this helps 8)

Nah seriously though, I haven't seen that much of him, but it wouldn't take much to rule the current division .

CC for the post like it ;)

And there is the important part of the argument. How about a counter argument (I'm only playing devil's advocate)

1. Even though he's boxrec no 1, he still can't get a promoter who'll show him the money to sign on the dotted line.
2. The Ibragimov fight was the ultimate snoozer from my POV.
3. If Valuev can get to 44-0, it proves that you don't have to be a top-drawer fighter to have an undefeated record.
4. The Fecarbox and IBA Intercontinental titles. Whoooooooooooowhaaaaaaaaaa?

That said, I think he is deserving of a shot at one of the titles, and if he takes into it the same attitude as the Ibragimov fight, he'll probably win by TKO, as his opponent falls flat on his face asleep, with loud snores drowning out the ref's count.

I think he might turn out to be a lesser Lennox Lewis. :o

I'm not sure what that means, but I think I agree with the "lesser" part.

Right now if the great Joe Hipp returned he could rule the heavyweight division

The Magic 8 Ball says... I Think Not!

While I like Brock & truly do enjoy seeing him box...he's gonna have issues against the bigger gents such as Rahman, Maskaev, & especially Wlad Klitshcko.

I always wanted to see him fight Byrd or Toney...even Liacovich (or however you spell it!) just because they were a bit closer to his size...well...all those except Toney. ;D

The last fight I saw Calvin Brock was the most boring fight in the history of the heavyweight division. Calvin and Timor did so much hugging in that fight I thought they were going to propose to each other. I hope he don't become champion.. would be like John Ruiz as champion,, yuck!

i'm sure he can win a title ....but what has he done to make anyone think he can RULE the division??

im confident he can win 1 of the 4 respected belts, not sure if he can rule the division,i havent seen enuf of him to be honest

Calvin Brock has it I believe but needs more fights before he steps up to take the belts!!!!

Hell na

NO NO NO NO NO!!!!


Brock for one thing doesnt have what it takes to stay in the HW division, there are to many guys out there that would school him....
