TFFP, I agree with you. Tor is a smart mofo and is no doubt playing down his skill and love for the sport. There is absolutely no way anyone can tell whether or not he will be the next great American heavyweight. He only has 5 pro fights for god sakes (most likely 10-0 by end of year). Personally, I think he will be. There is no doubt that he has what it takes. He's extremely skilled, smart, charismatic outside the ring and has a DIFFERENT story then most boxers. I was perusing through his website and just signed up for his email newsletter. For those that are fans out there, I suggest you take a look. Extremely informative and up to date info on Tor's doings, fights, etc. peep it here: http://www.torhamer.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=131&Itemid=148 peace all.
Tor has a college degree and is one of the few people involved in boxing who have one. He has a good head on his shoulders and should at least make it to the top 50 level anyways.
That article was the first time i heard of him, and my faith in him dwindled when i read this... not a good sign.
