Hopefully not (in terms of the all round person).

I doubt. Tyson was a freak athlete.
Younger guys that are on his level athletically are playing football or basketball and getting into MMA. Boxing is not even on their radar most likely.....

No becuz most American heavyweights are football players that didn't make it

Mike started young, and learned the craft

Europeans and their disbelief... Football, Basketball, and MMA are just bigger sports than boxing here in the US

There's less and less significant (and actually proven) American boxers every generation

Yes but he will come from Russia or some European country.
