    As much as I would LOVE for that to happen, I point your attention to other sons of former champions.

    So I will cheer for Monk, and wish him the best, but I will doubt him until he has more experience.

    Yep I know. But at the moment I am just hoping for a reincarnated 1970's George Foreman to appear on the scene and add some spice to the division.

    George wasn't the greatest "boxer" in the world but for me he is the greatest puncher of all time and he had a seriously underated jab. In fact I would only put Larry Holmes', Lennox Lewis' and maybe Wlads jab as being better than "Big" George's in the history of the HW division.

    So pardon my "ridiculous" hopes for his son lol.

    Well the great thing about Foreman is he went from being only a brawler to a very crafty boxer, and I think that may help his son more than anything else.

    George needs to teach his son DEFENSE first, the power is of course going to be there, he's a big kid, he's got good genes, but he needs to be a solid BOXER before we can expect anything of him.

    Do you know if he has much of an amateur background? One thing old George had was a brief but very sucessful amateur career!

    I think his first fight was his first fight ever....I don't think Monk ever was an amateur. But hell George only had a year of amateur experience, Tyson didn't have much either.

    He has no amateur experience at all. I read an interview where Foreman said people refused to fight him on his name alone.
