Echols, Brewer, and Robert Allen were all similar fighters in my opinion. All three were dangerous in certain regards but also had glaring holes in their game, which made them exciting fighters to watch on ESPN shows but hindered/prevented them from beating top tier champs. I feel that the gap in boxing today isn’t so much at the highest level of fighters (superstars), but rather at this level that resides just below. This is the level that really drives the sport in my opinion, as casual fans remain engaged watching exciting fights for free while waiting for PPV/Superfight level events.
