    Default Calvin brock slightly underrated

    A 2x golden gloves winner, who also won the U.S. amateur championship at 201lbs. He is also a former olympian. Finished with a pro career record of 31-2. I was a big fan of brock back in the day, a good boxer (not great or anything) but a good all round fighter, was undefeated before meeting wlad for the IBF & IBO belts. One of the best american fighter's of the early to mid 00's along with brewster & byrd imo. Brock is one of those heavyweights who could have benefitted immensely from the absence of the name 'klitscko' in the division, he would have picked up a belt no doubt!

    Brock nearly took zuri lawrences head off in a KO of the year fight, he got off the floor to outbox jameel mcline. Mcline had just defeated shannon briggs, michael grant in one round and big lance whitaker (who has a stoppage win over big punching oleg maskaev!) Mcline beat a host of other contenders like charles shufford and cedric boswell too and was ranked in ring mags #10 for 3 yrs. Chris byrd could only manage a close (but fair) SD against mcline.

    He also outpointed the undefeated Timur Ibragimov. Brock was pretty much done though when eddie chambers won a SD over him in 07, he was out of shape (something like 20lbs heavier than when he fought ibragimov a year earlier) and suffering from a career ending eye injury. Brock was a very good fighter when in form. Would you agree?
