    wow...i like Jt but he was a millionaire before his pro debut lol...how can u compare him to a ward, a boone, a lattimore...guys who came from nowhere tro be stars...JT got big fights and money handed to him..and he got breaks with big money fights against ouma and spinks...and although i thought he beat BHOp he def got the good side of 2 decisions with bhop and 1 with wink...although i thought he won all three....and he had the froch fight all but won and he gassed....man he is the opposite of no breaks

    Grady Brewer: This guy worked 8-10 hours per day, took care of a wife and house full of kids, and trained in his spare time. He took a fight with Pavlik on 2 weeks notice, took a fight with JT on 5 weeks notice and made the 8 round distance. Grady fears no man!

    Grady at his best sparked 15-0 rising star Anthony Thompson in 3 rounds, and won the contender season 2. During the contender tournament he basically fought with 1 hand due to a torn rotator cuff, and still made the final.

    Grady is a MUCH better fighter than his record indicates, but even now the guy can't catch a break. He was supposed to fight Baysongurov for the IBO title at 154 on 8/22, but Baysongurov pulled out. They replaced him with Anthony Thompson, and then out of the blue, Thompson decided he'd rather retire than take a second ass whoopin' from Grady! Brewer is still fighting tomorrow, but his opponent is some guy nobody ever heard of, and the IBO title is off the table. I'm tellin' ya, if there is anybody on the current scene who can't catch a ****ing break, it's Grady Brewer!!
