Heavyweight Division lacks CHARISMA much more than Talent

[Peterp]

Yes it lacks talent, but if you look at every single top Heavyweight in the world, both east european or western, absolutely none of them have any decent amount of Charisma

Charisma doesn't mean trash talking and arrogant, it's a presence, a presence which draws people to them.

James Toney has charisma and besides these guys are fighters not f***king actors or anything else.

i think Wlad, Oleg, Sergei, Lamon have tons of charisma

If you want charisma, watch WWF.
Boxing is about throwing punches, not looking good on press conferences.

The funny thing is that the Heavyweight division has far more downs than it has ups. I was watching ESPN Classic yesterday and it had a 1986 Mike Tyson fight featured. It was only Tyson's 16 or 17th fight but they were talking about how much someone like Tyson was needed. They were talking about how dead the HW division was since Foreman, Ali, Marciano..etc

Just goes to show you that excitment in the HW division is the exception not the rule.

Briggs is a pretty charismatic fighter; as for Brock, he's about as charismatic as Al Gore.
