Why there is not modern Mike Tyson in this era?

I would have loved to see Mansour in his prime in action, I think he would have be a nightmare for just about anyone. Even at age 42 he was extremely fast and very heavy handed.

 

Povetkin > Mike Tyson. How did you gather that Mike Tyson was ever superior?

Povetkin is an Olympic gold medalist. And if Mike Tyson was better, then why did he lose in embarrassing, devastating, pathetic and in shameful fashion to the likes of Kevin McBride and Danny Williams?

If Mike Tyson was superior to Povetkin, then why did Povetkin beat David Price at the same age as what Mike Tyson was when he lost to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride? Especially considering David Price > Kevin McBride & Danny Williams. Why couldn't Mike Tyson beat inferior opponents like McBride and Danny Williams, when at the same age, Povetkin was able to beat even better opponents in David Price and Christian Hammer?

Do you honestly even think these things through properly?

Alexander Povetkin is literally an upgrade in every conceivable way from Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson lacked any meaningful heart, courage, determination and willpower. Povetkin totally craps on Tyson in those departments. Furthermore, Povetkin is a more schooled and skilled boxer with a far superior amateur pedigree.

There's absolutely no reason to assume Mike Tyson would do any better today, than what Povetkin has done in the heavyweight division.

 

Modern day boxers suck like a dyson,
Don't be comparing 'em to Iron Mike Tyson,
The dude was a one off a bona fide freak,
He scared boxers silly even when off the beak,
So what if the big men would jab him to jelly,
I'd still rather watch his old fights on the telly,

 

Tyson, Ali and Dempsey were a 1 in a 1,000,000,000 type beings.

the big question is why aren't there any 1/2 as good fighters as Tyson was in the US showing up? 325,000,000 people in the US currently and not 1 decent american cruiserweight/heavyweight?

Answer is, most people in america are weak minded.

 

So essentially you are saying everyone is shorter which means the point still stands exactly the same.

 

Not necessarily. Some of the heights are correct. Spinks is really 6'2" and Douglas was also really 6'3", but for marketing purposed was often listed at 6'4".
