    but it seemed perfectly fine when he threw it?

    Nowhere during the fight was there any signs that hed hurt it?

    no mention by the commentators etc etc

    Only in the HBO documentary "Manny was screaming to me to get him out of there, i didnt want to tell Manny id hurt my hand".

    Lewis is a great fighter dont get me wrong, but that story about the hand stinks.

    To me, he was boxing safely and only threw the right hand when he knew Tyson had absolutely nothing left, and even then he had to lean on him to get him down.

    Yeah, quite possibly. Lewis was pretty good against guys his own size.

    About the physically superior Lennox Lewis.
    The Superstars contest 1998 (in Lewis prime era)

    11.Lennox Lewis(Boxing) he was the WORST competitor. Muhaha!
    Everybody humiliated Lewis.EVERY ATHLETE WAS BETTER THAN LEWIS.WHAT A SHAME!
    Lennox Lewis' glass chin was the most dangerous.
    This lame performance was dreadful by Lennox only.

    Lennox Lewis could'n knock bums out like the glass-chinned Billups,glass-chinned Ocasio,
    the skinny unathletic Mevrovic.He couldn't knock a fat Mercer out.
    McCall destroyed the prime Lennox easily.
    But this prime Mccall couldn't knock the 45 years old Holmes out.
    This shows Lewis' super weak chin/head.
    What a scary guy this lame Lennox! Muhaha!

    I think lots of girl are stronger than this physical superior Lewis.Where is Lennox Lewis' muscle mass
    nowadays? I think lots of girl can laugh at Lewis and his "d" version the glass-chinned
    wladimir shitko.

    No problem.
    The bum Sanders knocked wladimir klitschko sooner than the 8.
    round.
    Lewis knocked vitali quitschko sooner than the 8th.
    McCall and Rahman knocked Lewis out sooner than the 8th also.
    These were shorter fights.Maybe you prefer the shorter fights.
    I don't wanna forget sorry. The fat Brewster knocked wladimir klitschko sooner
    than the 8th.
    If you prefer the shorter fights.

    James Toney, Michael Moorer, and Terry Norris were all pretty mean outside the ring from what I understand.

    The fact is you simply don't go on the attack against guys like Ruddock, Golota, Klitschko and Tyson if you're not a pretty scary guy. And in case you missed to the first round of the Tyson fight, Lewis was anything but scared in that round, he pretty much beat the crap out of Tyson in that round and set the tone for the rest of the fight. In fact, it was Lewis, not Tyson who got a point deducted for using rough house tactics. He also beat the living crap out of Klitschko as well. The doctor who stopped the fight said he'd only seen 3-4 cuts as bad as that one in his 20 years of overseeing fights. And that was one of at least 3 cuts Vitali had, as he had one under his eye and his lip was split open.

    I can't help but think that having Ike Ibeabuchi pissed off at someone would be bad, very bad.

    He mentioned he hurt his hand at one point and couldn't use it fully for a few rounds.

    My bad, cause that I'm not too sure about. He said he did, but who knows. One thing for sure, Tyson could take a punch and whether Lewis hurt his hand or not, Tyson got the crap kicked out of him.

    Gerald McClellan another that i havnt seen mentioned yet.

    I remember John Garfield said Lamotta was scary but he said the scariest was Bruce Curry who carried a sawed off shotgun with him, think im remembering that correctly?

    Frankly, most fighters are pretty scary outside the ring. They just have that way about them, that ****sure confidence and natural aggression.

    I've met one or two guys who, though they amounted to nothing much as pro's, were still pretty mean guys. They exuded a certain confidence and had that 1000 yard stare which made me wary of them.
    Nice enough guys, but not people you'd deliberately make angry.

    Lol gotta love internet tough guys. I would happily bet money that prime Duran would batter you. Yes, Tyson was only deemed dangerous because of his physique, I'm sure he'd turn into a *****cat if he bumped into you :nut
