    Think about it when tyson came along the heavyweight division was in a similar state as it is now.Its just waiting for someone like him to clear up the division. Boxing needs a undisputed heavyweight champion. A champion where everyone the world over knows who he is and bring respect back to the heavyweight divison. Also anyone wish the heavyweights werent as big as some of them are now. Would love to see fighters weighing at about 210-225 or something. The fights would be way more exciting and easier to market instead of these fat fellas like peters and the eastern boxers

    Tyson is to the world like Ingemar Johansson is to Sweden.

    In other words, not too often.. we may never see it again.

    Better shaped heavyweights, definitely! Makes better fights, too. It's like a dream nowadays.

    The best thing about boxing and the thing that makes it more exciting than any other sport is that something or someone exciting is always around the corner.

    3 years ago few fans would have rated Kelly Pavlik highly, then he was regarded amongst the best in the world and then comes the Hopkins fight.

    What I'm saying is that we might not have the next Tyson on our RADAR yet but the exciting thing is that he could be out there now or just around the corner. When Ali had his last fight there was a young 15 year old called Mike Tyson about to join his nearest gym.

    Of course, Heavyweight is only 1 weight division out of 17 so we are limiting ourselves. However, the next biggest boxing star is ALWAYS near.

    Tyson was a one off, but I'm pretty sure there will be someone to carry the heavyweight torch soon enough.

    A marketable, exciting heavyweight certainly makes the difference in this sport.

    No one will ever be quite like Mike, but fighters with similar stayles come along like his more often then you think. They just arent as successful.

    Forget it. There will never be another Tyson. Never be another Lewis, Holyfield, Holmes, Louis, ALi, Marciano.

    We have a great new totally dominant wrecking machine now manning the heavyweight throne. In their own way the Klitschko brothers are superior to Tyson. Appreciate them all!
