    Ali, Holmes, Tyson and Frazier wouldn't have made the NFL in their wildest dreams.

    Are you saying that there were better heavyweights from 1964-1990 who were carrying the pigskin which we were deprived of? Better than those 4?

    Boxers are fighters first, not athletes.

    Tyson was notoriously uncoordinated in pick-up basketball games in training for the Olympics. Holyfield and others mocked him constantly for this. He was also not very fast on his feet in regards to straight line speed.

    Holmes and Ali "look like quarterbacks"? What does that mean? If so, then 50,000 guys walking the streets are potential quarterbacks.

    Even if one takes these endorsements as gold, these are one in a million chances at best. Even the best trained, best groomed, most accomplished College running back is a longshot to have a career over 3 years in the NFL. Let alone, some guy off these street who is merely strong.

    BTW, it takes incredible coordination to be a successful RB on the NFL level, moreso than raw speed... neither of which Tyson seemed to possess if anecdotes from his Olympic training partners are to be believed.

    How many heavyweights does the US need to have champions at the weight? Over 30% of the active HW population consists of US fighters. Do they need more to be able to compete? 50%, 70%, 90%???

    I think some ATG HWs from US were hyped by the TV networks to sell tickets. In reality they weren't so good. I think guys like Pulev or David Haye would beat a prime Tyson.

    I don't buy the BS excuse. Name some NFL players that can box? Or NBA players? Football players make bad boxers. Poor countries produce the best boxers. The USA will be poor soon thanks to the globalist. Maybe we will have good boxers again.

    Tyson would stop both guys in round one. Pulev stop Tyson?? Come on man he could not even stop glass jaw Walker. Pulev punches like a girl and he cuts easy.

    The Klitschos are the biggest bums of the era. They are the King of the bums.
    The only skills they have is their height, weight, reach, and two decades of steroids.

    Pulev's awesome jab would be a nightmare for Tyson.

    People still cite the video of Frazier in the Superstars competition as proof of modern fighters being better, even though swimming and running have nothing whatsoever to do with boxing.
