when will the next heavyweight superstar come?

David Haye???????????

It doesnt happen that often. You had Jack Dempsey, then the next really great heavyweight was Louis, then Marciano, Patterson and Liston were pretty good but had short title reigns, then you had Cassius Clay, Joe Frazier, Foreman, Ali, Holmes, Tyson, ends there.

I know your hatred towards Lennox Lewis, but Come on man!

People treat it like some kind of monumental triumph him beating up on an old and over a decade past his prime Tyson. It wasn't any different than Larry Holmes vs Ali, except Tyson took more punishment.

Agreed, i wouldnt put Lewis in the Class of Tyson, Clay, Louis and the like.

We already have an outstanding heavyweight in Wladimir Klitschko.

There are only two heavyweight prospects with superstar potential. One is Alexander Povetkin, who had arguably the best amateur record ever at Super Heavyweight. Another is Denis Boytsov, six years younger than Povetkin, who entered the professional ranks at an early age and already has a 17-0 record.

There are a number of other very good ones, such as David Haye, Chris Arreola, Alexander Dimintrenko, Oleg Platov and Chazz Witherspoon, but only Povetkin and Boytsov have the potential to actually dominate the Heavyweight Division.

Dont worry, Dimitrenko will save us.

However, being a heavyweight superstar like Ali, Frazier, Lewis, Tyson isn't likely to come from that lighter hitting divisions.

Muhammed Ali started as a light heavyweight. He won the Gold Medal in the 1960 Olympics at 175.
