Will there be another "Mike Tyson"?

Iron Mike's record for youngest Heavyweight Champion may stand forever. Certain fighters have a certain energy they bring with them. Iron Mike is one of those fighters.
There will never be another Iron Mike

 

eventually yes. how soon?....who knows.

what i do think is that he will come from some hard ass region/country, not from the continental u s, canada or puerto rico or western europe where fighters have become effeminate.

 

No. If there's 3 fighters in history who you'll never see anything like again, it's Tyson, Ali, and Jones.

 

You're probably right. Mike's genes , dysfunctional childhood and unique upbringing all contributed, in equal measure, to his development as a fighter. We are unlikely to see another situation like that again.

 

There's one on the way up now he's called Hughie Fury.










































....but of course I jest.

 

I am gonna be the next Cas-Angelo-Emmanuel-Eddie, so next Mike will follow

 

good post.....I would say as far as effeminate goes, Mike may have been the most effeminate fighter ever.........

I think you may have been meaning to say coddled. Seems the welfare system has caused american fighters to be to reliant on the teets for too long.:think

 

The right question to ask is whether there will be another Cus.

 

a prime 5'10" heavyweight mike tyson was the same anomoly as was a 6'5" power forward charles barkley.

the chances of us seeing either again in our lifetime is pretty slim.
