Tyson vs/lewis fight question

Look .. no doubt Tyson was a shell of 88 .. he was better against Holyfield a few years earlier but not by that much .. before Lewis Tyson was still explosive for a few rounds as proven against Golata and Savarese .. however after a few rounds he quickly came down to Earth .. that being said against Lennox Lewis he was fighting one of the most dangerous heavyweights that ever lived who was highly motivated and it showed .. The Lewis fight was in many ways Tyson's Red Badge of Courage fight .. he took a tremendous pounding and kept coming as long as he could ..

 

Lewis wasn't deemed tough enough to face Tyson after his gift against Mercer.

 

Yes he would have, and in quicker time than Holy did, simply because by 96 Tyson was easy to hit. The kid who came in with good head movement from 86 to 89 was long gone.

 

Congratulations.

You've managed to name two fighters Tyson ducked like a Mallard with dysentry. Preferring to fight Bruno, and Seldon instead, then getting fvcked by what he thought was the easy option in Holy, and after that facing the highly dangerous :roll::roll: Botha and Norris.

He **** himself at the thought of Lewis, never mind actually fighting him. He did so in the end because he was so far in debt it was the only way out, and the only thing you can say is he took his licks like a man. Only idiots and Yanks are stupid enough to deny Lewis always had Tyson's number, and that Tyson tried everything he could to avoid LL like the plague.

 

Mike thought he had a chance and came out smoking in round one. He took a took a hard shot early, then lost some of his will to win. If memory serves Tyson was asking his corner for a way out prior to the KO.

 

Tyson and short time/carrier? Lewis had only 44 fights, Tyson had 58, Holyfield had 57.
Who cares the time? The fight number counts but much more important the quality fight number.
Can you imagine a fighter's record with only 10 fights/ 50 years? What a long carrier!

 

It's simple .Tyson won the first round (3X10-9) .He had mental/physical staminal problem.
Otherwise big thing Lewis beat a post-prison Tyson.McBride did this also.
What does it mean ? Nothing.
Tyson won his every pro-fight with the D'amato team.This says all.

 

Tyson was dynamic in his prime.
But was and is a scumbag.
A totally repugnant human being who blew every chance he had.

 

Lewis was a poossy. It's ok to admit it.

 

i'm a huge fan and didn't even watch this live. i knew what was going to happen. i was in vegas and just bet on a lewis ko. tyson was completely done by this point.

 

Lewis attemped to sue Tyson for not playing ball for the rematch. Think about that for a moment.

After he beat the corpse of Tyson for no title he wanted a go at him again but back in 95-96 he was happy to walk away with 4 million instead of fighting a some what live Tyson for the heavyweight title and for the highest purse of his career which would of been lot more than 4 million.

Lewis was a scrub and one of the biggest bullshiters in the sports history.

 

It was common knowledge at the time of the fight that Tyson was nowhere near the fighter he had been. But he could still be dangerous in the very early rounds. My boss at work asked me my prediction of the fight and I said that if Tyson stands any chance at all, it is in the first or second round when he is fresh. If he cannot get Lewis out early, he will be in for a long night - and I picked Lewis in 8. Interestingly, Lewis is almost a full year older than Tyson, whereas the latter was much further removed from his peak than Lewis was from his. Today the Lewis victory over Tyson is accorded little significance because of the extent of Tyson's deterioration at the time. Still, if Tyson had somehow managed to duplicate Oliver McCall's one-punch success in round 2........

 

Make that 26 **** for brains, because he paid Lewis 4 in step aside money. You and the other fvcking idiot Mongoose, ought to get together, because neither of you have a clue about Lewis. That stupid Yank ***** tries to lie his way around the board in his rabid desire to slag off Lennox.

I told the moronic Yank garbage that Lewis was NOT a personal friend of mine, but I have met him on more than one occasion, recently at Upton Park, but being a typical loud mouthed, pea brained American, he likes to spin things.

You and him go well together. Out of interest is it ALL rapists you both hero worship, or just ****** boxers?
