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:

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.
i think he was only overrated when King tried saying hes the future of the division ....we all knew he was just a mediocre fghter w/ ALOT of heart and ALOT of will & couraage & chin and tenacity and has a good mental attitude for boxing and he has pulled through some impressive wins ...Quote:

Hey Means, why do all those funny letters come up a the bottom? All those letter "A"s?
u know what i have bno idea i actuallytried to fix it ,,,,,i'm gonna try again brb
ha i fixed it mi guess i just didnt save it ;ast time.....man did u see brewsters gut after the fight ...i was upset w/ his head movement & i didnt see brewster side step once when he was on teh ropes ...i love him but aside from his chin and heart and power i wasnt impressed
He don't have no skill. He's just barbaric.Quote:

eaxactly i believe he deserves to be seen and advertised but he is what he is tahts for sure .....he came in skinny during the golota fight i think we'll see better from himQuote:

Brewster was just outmatched in that fight.I had seen Liakhovich fight before and I knew if he stuck to his game plan, with his speed he would be able to outbox Brewster easily.He didn't stick to his plan and traded with Brewster and was able to give as good as he got!It was a great fight and a great win for Lyakhovich! :D
drgoodlooking...I hate to say this...but honestly...I would have expected a bit better.Quote:

Brewster...while not my favorite fighter of the division...did come to fight & he did come to win...he just couldn't. Everyone wanted a division saviour...you yourself in the past hav esaid that if it were Brewster you could live with it...you just wanted an action packed fight...well you got one...& look atcha...still bitchin!
Brewster put on a great show...he just did exactly what I said that he would...he gave it everything he had...but that everything jujst wasnt good enough.
Brewster's all wasn't good enough because nobody's telling him the right things while Liakhovich was told all the right things. Brewster needs to find a real trainer who cares about him.
"Overrated" is so f#cking overused!
Honestly, does anyone think it's fair to call ANY Heavyweight overrated at this point?
If you're gonna generalize, then I think the only fair description is that the division is down, people are down on the division and noone is "rated" very highly right now.
