      Never.

      There's a possiblilty of a heavyweight coming along exciting enough to transcend boxing fans and excite everyday people the way Oscar and Pacquiao have in recent years, but there will never be another Mike Tyson.

        He has him bobbing and weaving I heard. I need to see it first.

        Tyson was an animal.

          That’s a pretty tough act to emulate but I don’t think so, Tyson was one of kind and love him or hate him he will be remembered for years to come.

                Man wouldnt it be great to get a fast, explosive, heavyweight who is just walking through people early in fights. Would be crazy.

                  povetkin is a future champion, he has the power, the trainer, he will be the "next tyson" in the future, maybe not to the exact same degree, but pretty damm close.........
