Will there ever be a younger HW champ than Mike Tyson?

Probably not.Today HW fighters over 6'5 feet tall and they peaked later than short fighters

Depends what alphabet soup we consider as legit.

I'd add in Mike's physical development already as a child was almost freakish regardless of height

This is him at 15 years old

Nope, since they will never been given a chance for winning belts soon enough to be younger than Mike was. Unless they start to be a pro boxer being 14 y.o LOL.

How old is Daniel Dubois? If he could chin Joshua he might have a chance to break that record. I don’t think he is 20 years old yet.

All about oportunity and with ****** politics of the sport, can't predict that. You don't necessary have to be all that good to get a belt... just right fight.

Which 20-year old heavyweights bear Charr? I couldn't even give you the name of a 20-year old heavyweight, let alone one that would beat Charr.

Pythagoras of Samos in 588 BC and the 48th Olympiad became champion at 16 years old.

There's not many records modern boxing holds if you don't keep the historical scope really small. If you think of modern boxing as Sullivan to now that's 131 years. How many lifetimes? Exactly my point. It's a very small scale to be looking for once in a lifetime figures.

Most people don't get comfortable with boxing history until Dempsey and the 1920s...of course in that time you've only seen one Marciano and one Tyson. How often do you think those men come around?
