    Somebody like Tyson who horrified the crowds with his power and made his opponents fear for their lives.

    that does draw in the casuals like nothing else can.

    Seemed forever that media/promoters/etc. were always on the search for "The Next Tyson", but you don't hear that as much anymore.....I don't guess.

    The only person I heard coined as Tyson-esque champion by the media was Brock Lesnar who was UFC's bully champion briefly... unfortunately he was very one dimensional and nowhere near the talent of Tyson for his sport.

    A large part of that is that he used to be in the WWE

    I dont think we will see another ATG fighter from my generation again (born circa 1985). It's the start of the 'instant gratification' generation and they just are not willing to put in the hard work.

    Look at the Olympic squads.......

    Mago and Szpilka are looking the part. Mitchell is as well.

    None are young so the awe factor may not be quite as pronounced, but if either can step up into the Belvel with the same ferocity as they did the Clevel.....well, we may just have another one punch KO artist.

    And Wilder looks the part as well.

    Rodriguez is older, but when he heals formthis latest injury, he is supposed to fight a top 50 and if he blows him out of the water, the K2 are ready to give him Ustinov or Banks.:good
