    He was OK. He fell way short of Wlad but instead of learning from that and trying to become better because of it, it seemed to end him for me. I didn't know the eye injury had ended his career though, I just assumed he'd given up.

    Calvin Brock was good, I always liked the guy. Well educated, hard worker, from North Carolina

    He had a difficult style much the way Eddie Chambers has a difficult style. He had good defense, a solid chin, underrated power, and that KO of Zuri Lawrence was BRUTAL! He gave Wlad a hard fight and he came in the ring trying to win, it's a shame about the eye injury but luckily he had his education to fall back on and he seems to be doing well with that because he's not made any comeback attempts.

    plus he was a part time boxer, didn't he work at a bank during most of his career?

    This is thinly veiled dig.... He has a college degree in finance, just like the klitschkos hold PHD' s or just like carl froch is a part time propety developer....

    He placed value on education but boxing was his passion and main emphasis...the degree in finance was a fall back had his career not panned out! He is actually now a commercial real estate agent...i love that!

    He was fighting from the age of 9 years old! Had a great amateur career and a great pro career. Brock is one of many american fighters that have flown under the radar in recent years (steve USS cunningham being another) these guys are talented fighters yet they barely get acknowledged just because they don't have a big mouth and shun acting like an idiot! Criminal.

    Very smart individual. This link explains it all:

    oh I know he had a vast amateur background and had experience, that's not what I meant, just kinda thought it was like Juan Diaz getting his law degree while on top of his championship reign

    i don't think this is a dig at all. his alias on boxrec is "the boxing banker"-- not the banking boxer!

    with his outlook on being a well rounded person and stressing the importance of having a strong education and not having boxing being his sole defining interest (as mentioned in the interview you provided a link for); i would think he'd appreciate people recognizing that he was also a banker.
