What are the chances there will be another heavy weight champion the same age or younger than Tyson?

Question

It's been over 20 years. Will the record ever be broken?

Answer 1

well technically tyson was only a belt holder, he was the youngest to win a title but not the title. Plus tyson was "rushed" into a title fight. if you look at his record he didn't have much strong opposition to go against. that was why he was fighting every other month to build his buzz. that is hard to do now especially with the muhammed ali act of 1996 and other rules in place to hinder fighters from being catapulted just that easy to a title shot. I would have to say it is a 2-4% chance of a fighter grabing the heavyweight crown at that age by unifying all three belts are beating the undisputed champ. and A 6-9% chance of a belt holder at that age. but if you throw in the IBO, WBO,WBF,WBU,IBA,NABO and all those other alphabet titles as "champions" it goes up drastically.

Answer 2

The division is too weak at the moment, maybe in like 5 or 10 years IMO.

Answer 3

IF all eastern europe become communist again and they block out all russian fighters from boxing and mma like they had done from 1922 till 1998( is funny how yall say blacks were not allowed participate in baseball or football league in usa but no american till today (sadly not even woody who seems to know a lot about boxing)did not have the dignity to say u know what ok let's face it the easterns could not participate till recently cause of their communist dictatorship closed borders etc etc oh well this is how u r i guess deny the truth)but yeah if communism and dicatoriship goes up again on these countries all of a sudden americans will find boxing interesting again ,(fedor) the heavyweight division will be exciting,(fedor ) and there will be plenty tysons,alis,foremans,marcianos again ;)(FEDOR) LMAO

Answer 4

If boxing were the UFC it would be broken every other month but boxing having the rich tradition it has I would say not in our life time we never had a Mike Tyson before him or after him be fore Ali there was Joe Louis after Ali there was Larry Holmes it,s like in basketball you are more likely to see another Larry Byrd before you see another Muggie Boggs by the way we still haven,t seen another Larry Byrd yet Mike Tyson was something special

Answer 5

All records are meant to be broken!
