So who's the next "great American hope" in boxing?

[TitoFan]

Seth is a good candidate, and has a few things going for him:



1. He's a HW, which as we all know is the only division for the casual fan.

2. He's an ex-college football player. Some of us cheer for athletes that have turned to boxing relatively late in their lives. It's not like he came out of some slum and the only way out was boxing. He chose boxing because he wanted to.

3. He's extremely likable (i.e. - he's not a scumbag).

4. He's undefeated, and a rising star.



He could meet some serious stumbling blocks along the way... but I definitely root for him.

Joe Hanks is a likeable guy as well, very positive, well spoken, funny, but 100% business in the ring.

Oh shit! Could this mean we're trending away from the Floyds, Judahs, Tysons and Toneys??

















About time!

You never know, I mean once upon a time Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a likeable clean cut fighter who wasn't fighting with a chip on his shoulder or whatever...same with Mike Tyson.

We've still got Vernon paris though
