If he's the one we've all been waiting for I'd say it wasn't worth the wait.
He'll hopefully entertain for a few years and act as a stop gap but he's certainly not a fighter to define an era.
Unfortunately nobody seems to be coming through at all.
I'm hoping that eventually it will turn full circle. Maybe some of America's best young athletic talent of tomorrow may see becoming a top American heavyweight as being more attractive than going into the NFL as there really isn't a great deal of competition out there for them.
Any American who can fight his way out of a paper bag will now gain HUGE exposure. If I were a 6 ft 4 13 year old black kid from the hood right now I'd be looking at making a name for myself in boxing rather than NFL right now.
