Re: Calvin brock slightly underrated
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....Originally Posted by ElTerribleMorales
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 reignThis is thinly veiled dig....

Re: Calvin brock slightly underrated
These guys are doing a smart thing having an education to fall back on. It should be praised and fighters should be doing it a lot more than they currently are!

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

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.
Just a dude in blue.

Re: Calvin brock slightly underrated
I don't think he's underated really, it's just he was what he was. Descent enough with good hands and pop, a little slow of foot, a bit fleashy with a smart mind and educated for life after boxing and a hell of a tap dancer from what I saw. He had some wins though Mccline was known to freeze up at high altitude on occasion. Etienne was a flavor of the month with a chin with the predictability of a tower of Jenga pieces and was yrs removed from Oquendo dropping him 101 times with the same punch. Shame the eye issue took Brock out but at least he had a fallback. Smart one there.
