Something I came across the other day thought I'd share it with the "Classic Folk" [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=130LjWgPnPY&eurl[/yt] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=130LjWgPnPY&eurl The kid is starting pretty early. Lets hope he's got a chin to go with his already developing skills.
There will never be a 20 year old HW champion again. 1 Tyson was fighting a minimum of once a month and crammed 27 fights into 1 year and seven months before he fought for his first title. 2 Tyson had one of the best management teams ever . For someone to beat Tysons record he would have to fight at least once a month and have a team that believed in him enough to put him in a title fight when the time is right.
Not least to mention that that at 19, 20 years of age, its extrmely rare, even more so nowadays, that a HW would reach anywhere near the level Tyson was at the same age.
The thing is most heavies these days are coming on a lot later, and as such what was classed as old ten years ago is now close to prime.
Looks like a skinny kid, and Tyson does not hold the record of the youngest champion ever, just the youngest Heavyweight champion ever. Patterson holds the youngest UNDISPUTED heavyweight champion ever though:deal
