A good heavy weight has to have a lot of natural talent. He must also be natural athlete i.e. he would have probably been good at any sport he played. After the early 90's very few "natural" athletes wanted to box.Very few parents wanted their kids to become boxers.
Other pro sports offered more options and longevity.
Footbal and basketball and baseball are now homes to our "would have been" great American Heavy weights
Mike Tyson would have probably been one of the best Linebackers in NFL historyComment
