    A fighter like Tyson comes along MAYBE once in a generation, if that. In terms of the excitement, interest, and popularity he generated really only John L. Sullivan, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali really compare.

    i think we all should relax and be patient. That fighter will come out of nowhere.

    Awsome... He never should have left Kevin Rooney.

    Someday another guy's gotta come along... could be a long wait though.

    There will never be another Mike Tyson, the man was the complete package, the most talented Heavyweight to step in the ring and also one of the best trash talkers since maybe Ali, the Heavyweight division has never been the same since his departure.

    Nope. None that young with that much raw talent. Plus even if there ever was there will be no one (management and trainers) that will be able to harness that all into another young champion that will gain commercial appeal at such a young age.
