    Genetic make up & environment ensures that there will never be another "anybody"

    You possibly meant will there be any 20 yrs old World Heavyweight Champion, Undisputed by 21 yrs old. Very unlikely, mainly because:

    * The living standards in urban America are not as harsh as they were.
    * C D Amato was a desperate dying trainer who put 8 decades into Tyson.

    We were lucky enough to grow up with Mike and I can't ever see us having another boxer like him in my lifetime.:smoke

    I mentioned before, that I am not talking about the fighting style, only the "aura". Tyson was Tyson and there will never be someone like him again because Cus don't live anymore.
    The one and only chance would be, if he starts to train someone.

    So he can be from Hawaii or Alaska then. Because everything from the continental U.S. is soft? I can show you hard right in the good ol' U.S.? This whole tough/soft thing is very subjective btw, so you can think what you want, just funny to me.

    people just dont realize how explosive and powerful tyson was at 5'10" in a division that is essentially 6'4".

    or barkley being a 6'5" power forward with a career 22/12 on 54% in a position that is essentially 6'9".

    well never see these guys again.

    ali or kobe...yes.

    tyson or barkley...no.

    he's now multi-millionaire, money does that to you.

    look at him from way, way, back when he was homeless and oftentimes, he ate only once a day.

    You're generally a pretty good poster so I assume that you're kidding.

    If not, let's try and calculate the odds of you saying that to his face...

    I can't imagine a short 5'10 American heavyweight winning a title at age 20 & cleaning up the division at age 21 ever again

    Why do you have Mike Tyson in quotation marks? You do know he's real, don't you?
