    Something I came across the other day thought I'd share it with the "Classic Folk"

    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.

    He'll probably past his prime when he hits 18.

    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.

    Been posted plenty of times.

    Who's to say he'll be a heavyweight anyway?

    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
