How Would Lamon Brewster Fare Against Today’s Heavyweights?

Prime vs prime i pick Brewster over both of them

 

You probably weren’t watching boxing back then. Brewster managed to draw the color line in the mid 2000s. He was worse than peak Andy Ruiz.

 

Hard to say but his power would leave him with a chance against most.

 

I've probably been watching boxing longer than you.
For a matter of style, Brewster Joshua would be very similar to Dubois Joshua, imo, and Ruiz Jr Prime is nothing more than Brewster Prime.

Who did Wilder beat? His only respectable victory is Ortiz 1.

 

Go watch the Meehan fight.

 

I saw all or almost all of Brewster's fights, just like I saw Joshua and Wilder. If I remember correctly, Meehan deserved to win on my card.

 

I know Krasniqi for getting beaten down by Tony Thompson. Kabayel is just tougher and better than that.

 

He would be in the Top 10 and cause one or two upsets.

He is the kind of fighter that on his night can do horrible things to guys like Joshua and Dubois. Knock them down hard and break their will.

 

He always had that real bad knee of his. Even as an amatuer. Sure does not seem all that long ago that Lamon was the highly regarded amatuer prospect and then lost to Williamson in an upset. His stock price sure took a big hit on that one.

 

What's interesting is that Williamson was considered by fighters in the know as one of the hardest punchers of his time .. he was nt a great pro but a huge puncher ..I remember Chris Byrd talking about it in detail. He said the general public didn't know but the fighters knew.,

 

Williamson was very good His problem was his chin

 

Not quite the same level of conditioning and consistent aggression though.

I think He'd do similarly well as in his time. He'd probably pull off some upsets and lose as a favorite, have his ups and downs. Other than Usyk, He'd be live against all of those guys today - but there's also noone in the top 10 that I'd confidently pick him against. Maybe other than Hrgovic, whose a bit mentally fragile and I think would struggle to see 12 rounds against Brewster.
