    Don't know, but my position is being entirely misconstrued. I happen to like both fighters a lot.

    But beyond a doubt Tyson is far more marketable than Lewis will ever be. That said, I wouldn't worry about Lewis going bankrupt anytime soon.

    Much the same about Lewis can be said about Holmes. Both had better careers than Tyson did, but Tyson, who was a huge Duran fan btw, fought the type of fights people, including myself enjoy watching. Speaking of which, there's a movie of Duran coming out in the fall. Robert De Niro is in it. (he plays Arcel)

    But is idea of having to like one of them, and by default then having to hate the other, is a childish viewpoint in my eyes. Same as Mayweather and Pac, I like them both for different reasons.

    Who says i am hating on Lenni? I still think he was a great fighter but i am just calling a spade a spade when he is Lenni Chinny cant take a punch to the face Lewi, the fact he mostly fought inferior fighters, his only serious claim to fame is beating up washed up serious challengers, the one time he was seriously challenged by someone who was perhaps his toughest opponent and not shot he behaved disrespectfully in the post fight interview and then ran away like a coward from a rematch hiding behind mummy and wify and finally even though he has been retired for the last 12 years i find it off putting the way he disrespects all his fellow contemporaries and puts himself on a pedestal.

    Tyson isn't perfect either. Everyone knows about his flaws, no need to repeat it here. Have nothing personal against Lenni, i am sure he must be a great person, son, husband and overall great human being. But as a fighter, if there are tremendous holes, loop holes and critiquing points on the resumes of Holyfield and Tyson then so to Lewi as well.

    You are feeding the troll. He is just another fan boy, of anything he perceives as dangerous, and with the myth of Tyson in the ring, but the reality of him being a filthy nonce case out of it, is how fools like Savak get their jollies.
    Trust me I know a little about these things. There are sad fuks all over the world who want to befriend cons, and the more " dangerous " they believe the con to be, the harder they try to befriend him, nonce cases in particular. The odds would be no more than a pound to a pinch of sh it, he follows Tyson on one of these social media sites.

    Typical fan boy logic.

    Take a 36 year old out of the ring, then put him back in 1 year, and 9 months later, with a 21 year old unbeaten guy, and the 21 year old deserves all the praise in the world for beating him. :roll::roll:

    These cranks are so weird they don't even know they are weird. They are as thick skinned in their fantasies as those loonies who come to your door to preach. It doesn't matter how many times you tell them to fuk off with their nonsense, they just stand there like lemons, until you set their magazine alight and throw it at them.

    Edit.

    I have just seen a post in which someone says a film is to be made about Tyson by Martin Scorcese. Isn't he the one who specialises in " gangster " movies? Just backs up my theory about certain types of fan boys, who are attracted to so called " dangerous " people.

    I fully understand that you are a bit slow, so allow me to post so that even you might grasp it.


    A poster quoted Holyfield saying he thought Lewis was boring, but he admired Mayweather.


    It is called irony, well it would be if Holyfield was clever enough to understand what irony meant.

    Next week we will attempt to teach you joined up speaking. Ok?

    Wrong person. I have never claimed to know nothing of Tyson.

    you on the other hand are definitely one of his weird freak fan boys. Your post 2 above this one is proof of that.

    Tyson weirdo ( that'd be you )

    Mikey only lost to Douglas because he was whoring and drinking and not training properly.

    Reply from anyone NOT a Tyson freak fanboy.

    Well actually he was only 2 lbs heavier than he was when he destroyed Spinks in 1 round.


    Tyson freak.

    Well it was because Old Tomato had died, or he split with Rooney, or his dog had a toothache, or he was concerned about his divorce ( which was actually finalised a few days before he beat Bruno the year before ) or he wasn't happy with the hotel he was given to stay in. Or any other old bollox you can think of.


    Lewis supporter.

    Well as it happens Lewis only flew into South Africa 12 days before the Rahman fight, as opposed to Rahman who had been there for nearly a month to acclimatise, because like a fool he was more interested in hanging out with film stars filming Oceans what ever fuking number it was.


    Tyson weirdo.

    Fuk off, you're making excuses, he got sparked because he is sh it.



    Yep, they certainly don't get much weirder than Tyson fan boys, other than Pacturds.

Tyson was ****..yet unified the belts in the ring..unlike Lewis...hurts dont it? Where in my post did I say anything about the Douglas fight? keep reaching ...you cant acclimate a jaw weirdo..lol he got clocked and laid flat and nothing you can say on here will ever change that..see...Lewis got manhandled like Tyson did Givens...one punch..lights out..by Tyson sparring partner none the less....hurts dont it? Must really suck to know your hero gets little to no recognition anywhere on the planet..hardly even in any of his home countries..unless its about sneaking around in hotels with other men..oh but you prop him up on here so i guess that counts lol..it must really suck to know that your dad mr Lewis is a afterthought, this dominant champ that ruled for a decade plus:roll: is regulated to pre fight commentary, ah the life of a legend..but whats the point of being a legend if no one cares..not even your contemporaries..:huh

    Lewis didnt have the skills of either Tyson or Holyfield. He would have not been able to handle them in their primes. Lewis even knows he fought a bunch of stationary unskilled fighters. Look at every fighter with an ounce of boxing skills prime or not and they gave Lewis troubles. He came too late to the dance and he knows it.
    Please answer who is Lennox Lewis best win on his resume?
    Hasim Rahman? David Tua, Mike Grant, Ray Mercer or Frank Bruno? Maybe Razor Ruddock who was about as shot as Evander Holyfield. Styles make fights, his generation of opponents suited his fighting style well. Lewis was tough and proud so he would have gotten knocked out more in the 80's and early 90's.

    It must really **** you off that though all of history, it's going to be Lewis TKO over Tyson and Lewis TKO over Vitali.

    Why? Because apparently they can't punch worth a damn and weren't about to get to Lewis' china chin, but he was able to get to Tyson's. And of course with Vitali he just plain old beat the **** out of him. How many stitches did Vitali need again? 50-60??? holy **** that's a lot.
