    At his best hed beat all of them except the Klit bros. On a uninspired night Haye and a few others could beat him.

    I think he would bounce in and out of the top ten, with a chance at picking up a belt not held by one of the Klitschko's.

    I see him like a Rahman. I might win the belt once, if he fought someone like Ruiz or Valuev.

    i dont see him beating the klits but all the others he has a good chance of beating but he has to be focused and at the top of his game

    I'm actually wondering if perhaps Trevor Berbick could be accurately compared to like what Hasim Rahman was 10 years ago, but of course without the collosal win over Lewis. Both men seemed to have had similar career paths.

    I recently learned that Trevor Burbick was in fact murdered in his own home in Kingston Jamaica. Not best:verysad

    Yeah that happened back in 2006, and I remember reading about it, just days after it happened. Apparently, one of his own relatives and another accomplice beat him to death over a land dispute or something.

    Top 5 for sure. I would still give the Klitchko brothers the edge over him, but he took a prime Larry Holmes the distance so I reason he would do the same with the brothers Klitchko as well.

    he'd be a alphabet titleist, just like a lot of the other 80's alphabet titleists.

    Is there a forum available for special needs posters?

    I think you should pass an aptitude test before you post in the classic forum.



    As for Berbick?

    He'd be a top contender but I'd imagine that he'd fall short to the Klitschko's.
    His best chance would be against Vitaly who is one fight away from potentially growing old overnight.

    Trevor never fought Parkey. I think you mean ST Gordon

    Probably get beat UD but hold his own against Fury.

    Get knocked out nastily by Wilder.

    I can see him doing pretty good against Usyk, now that I think about it.

    He was a bloody akward fighter, I can see him giving a few modern guys a long fight.
