The problem people have with the heavyweight division today are
1)The Klitschko's are too dominant
2)American kids are less likely than ever to get involved in boxing
3No current boxer has had close to the charisma or star appeal of Heavyweights from the "golden era's"
One other thing, Truth. Here's why I asked you why America can't produce another great heavyweight. All we need is another heavyweight champion who can beat the best there is in the world if we want the average Joe America to know what the Champ's name is. Hype won't do it. Charisma won't do it. Only winning will do it. And with winning there will come charisma. Face it, we'll never have another Ali. God only made one of those.

If we want the average Joe to know who the heavyweight champ is, we need another great Champ. The problem is not the hype. If the fighter is winning, the fans and media will supply the hype. My God, look at Marciano. Can you remember anything he ever said or did (outside the ring)? But did the fans love him? Does he have charisma now?

So, say it ain't so that America can't produce another great Champ.
