    Funny how you quoted the part that kunted of Lewis, but didn't quote what the hypocritical bible thumping La La Holyfield said about Mayweather, isn't it?

    Oh hang on, would that be the same Mayweather that thousands of fans on internet forums label the most boring bast ard in the last 20 years?:roll::roll:

    This thread says Tyson, Holyfield and Lenni Chinny cant take a punch to the face Lewi.

    I know your desperate but your irrelevant bringing up of Mayweather is not going to work. :hi:

    Which all time great Heavy Weight losses to C grade fighters because of just one punch to the face? That is just so looserish and unmanly and speaks for the girl that Lenni Chinny cant take a punch to the face Lewi is. Does beating a C grade fighter in a rematch erase the fact he should not have lost to a C grade fighter in such a humiliating girly fashion? Would the all time top 5 have lost to C grade fighters with just one punch to the face?

    It's not Tyson's fault Buster retired after the Holyfield fight and wasn't interested in a rematch, just like your beloved Lenni Chinny cant take a punch to the face Lewi ran away from Vitali using Mummy and Wify as an excuse even though he was not a faded fighter and had a few years of boxing left in him.

    If you wanna get technical about the whole thing, Tyson didn't actually get Tko'd in the rematch nor was it his intention to quit on his stool against Holyfield. It was the match referees decision to call the bout off. Holyfield and Tyson still wanted to continue inspite of what happened and Tyson just had his best round of the match.

    As far as the *** offending allegations are concerned, i suggest you impartially watch the link below but i know you will still continue your stubborn rants.

    Hahahaha Tinkerbell Tyson decided to turn cannibal to avoid another ass kicking just like the first fight, The Real Deal had him scared to death. The so called World's Baddest Man petrified of a blown up Cruiserweight..:

    I think that they did take him seriously.

    I think that it was the public and media that did not take him seriously, and that nobody wished to contradict them.

    Tyson didn't want no fight to go on, notice the cowardly girly act of running up and pushing Holyfield when he had his back turned to him, what a cop out!

    That was more or less his frustration at Holyfield being allowed to use his third glove i.e. his head repeatedly for 2 fights and not being punished, penalized or warned even once. No Cop out there. Just adding more spice to the fight.

    I largely agree with Holyfield's take expressed in this article.

    Lennox Lewis always came across as a whiner, and made out he was an 'outsider', getting robbed and avoided and whatever, but he played the same game and schemed even more.

    I think fighters take Lewis seriously, or at least they should have because then they may have done better, it's just posters like Savak who can't take Lewis seriously because then he would have to acknowledge that he beat the **** out of both Tyson and Vitali, and had convincing wins against Holyfield.

    Boxing is a multitalented sport, not everyone is going to have an iron chin (ie Lewis), not everyone is going to have one punch power (ie Holyfield), not everyone is g oing to have a plan B (ie Tyson) and not everyone is going to win a war of attrition (ie Vitali), but the guy who can most of these things, in this case Lewis, is going to rise to the top. And the fact that so many people are still talking about him all these years later, proves it.
