End of The Line For Great US Heavyweight Champions, says Bob Arum

[Verstyle]

he is tellin the truth alot of ppl dont have the drive for it anymore

[Keleneki]

Arum is right, in his theory of guys going for careers in other sports. But to say Mike Tyson is the last great? Who knows when the next poor kid finds boxing as his light at the end of the tunnel, and becomes the next great.
Boxing can bring glory to a single individual, more so than a team sport a lot of the time. A boxer is one solo warrior. Not part of a collective of athletes playing together to win.

QFT! ::thumbsup::

So we shouold have been pulling for the curicus show freak instead of the limited and boring legitimate fighter.

[THE REAL NINJA]

i couldn't care less what arum, king,or any other promoter thinks

[AREALFIGHTER]

I don't know about that, there will be a young man who was raised by a fighter whos grandpa was a fighter who will become a hw champ like floyd did at lighter weights. and i am not talking about chazz wither hes a ***** compaired to tim wither. this sport beats to an american pulse in the blood example. how is anyone 6'2 230 going to play in the nba. nfl is a diffrent matter unfortunetly and just emagine all those ok athletes how play college ball or pull third string in the nfl, how many of those guys under a good trainer would be contenders

[AREALFIGHTER]

and if they could prove it at hw they would make their yearly salary on one fight if they were good more than 100,000 or so for sitting bench and have a chance at glory, not that the fight game is easy but if your tough willing to listen and learn the game look at what you could do ala rahman who was never that good but a good athlelete.

If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights?

the freak doesnt cheat, and doesnt bore fans to death all the while filing bull**** lawsuits and saying hes the best HW in the world.

valuev is the lesser of the two evils. i cant believe so many people have been willing to stand up for ruiz rather than see the bane of the HW division get purged.
