    He has a job outside of boxing,,,Calvin actually has an impressive portfolio and truly was a Banker...Managed one of those banks that worked with strictly stocks and bonds not a public bank....I think he holds some sort of relationship with Bank of America as well...With or without Boxing Calvin is in no need for money....

    I just wish all these fighters had something to fall back on....Not so much something in such a high field but something that would assure they don't end up broke or making $8 bucks an hour

    I know he is involved in his church...He is also involved in alot of charties....Even if he for some reason could not earn a living his wife is a Lawyer with a big firm down south and his parents are pretty well off...

    Brock really is one of those great faces of the sport

    Wow... That sucks man.

    This has to be one of the more short careers we've seen from a HW in a while. The only other 2 HW I can think of with short careers are 'Smokin' and Ingemar.

    I say this because I doubt he can continue fighting for long after this.

    I thought he was initially injured in the fight with Wlad and then apparently reinjured in the Chambers fight?

    Anyway Brock can definitely move on and do well without boxing. I enjoyed watching him and he was solid, but never going to be a great. Hope he heals up quickly whether he keeps fighting or not....

    Ah well. Nothing new in boxing, and they're not career ending injuries anymore, which is good.
