How i beat Mike Tyson: Lennox Lewis

Lennox Lewis: How I beat Mike Tyson.

"He got old."

The End

 

You're full of surprises Savak :good

But I gotta agree, there's no lack of ego on the man, and I'm no fan of someone talking about themselves in the 3rd person.

 

:good

 

Tyson didn't even deserve a title shot. I'm not sure he wanted it really either.
It was a fraudulent 'money' fight, worse even than the recent May-Pac mega-fight.


Tyson fans and Lewis fans will disagree with me perhaps, but I believe there were plenty of fighters around in 2002 who would likely have beat Tyson.
Sure, he had his puncher's chance still against most of them, but even with that he'd have to rely on doing what he did to Botha because his finishing abilities had gone, and a lot of heavyweights would have beaten him on heart and motivated by making a name for themselves off his name.

 

He beat Golota (changed to an NC because of smoking weed), but that's a very good win worthy of a title shot. Especially when you consider Golota deserved to beat Byrd and put Ruiz down twice losing a close decision.

Tyson could of still beat many top 10 guys like Ruiz, Byrd, Rahman but would lose to Vitali at this stage. He might have smoked Wlad at this stage though as Wlad was struggling against punchers and pressure. He'd have beat Sanders and Tua who had worse stamina than Mike.

So Tyson was probably top3 in the world at this stage

 

Lewis was older :hi:

 

Well done. You are only 10 years behind the times.:roll:

 

Didnt he settle a lawsuit for something like $14 mill only a few weeks before this fight?

 

Golota had lost to Michael Grant less than a year earlier.

Also, Tyson's win over Golota was followed by a year of inactivity, then he turned up against looked sloppy and over-weight against Brian Nielsen.

Tyson v Golota was 20 months prior to Tyson against Lewis.

Obviously, Evander Holyfield would have beaten the sh!t out of him.

And, no, he wouldn't have beat all those fighters. He stands a puncher's chance against some, or all, of them. But that's about it.

 

Next in the series, Kostya Tszyu: 'How I beat Julio Cesar Chavez', followed quickly by Travis Browne: 'How I overcame James Toney'. Just shut up with your third person, pseudo-intellectual nonsense Lennox.

 

Or "how I ra ped and se xually assualted Desiree Washington but thought I'd get away with it, like I did other girls by either paying them off, or using my celebridy status " by Tyson.

 

I have a known history of making up things and proving to have no problem accusing people of ****.

How are things on fantasy island these days?

Just get a few things straight. Tyson was the biggest commodity in boxing at that time, with hundreds of millions of dollars at his disposal if necessary, and an army of lawyers, that only big business or governments can afford.

Ever wonder why those resources weren't employed? Well I'll tell you, because DNA, and medical evidence DOESN'T lie. A semi literate street piece of sh it from Brooklyn, on the other hand.

 

It doesn't matter, Golota was still a major win, it was a win that got Grant the title shot in less impressive fashion. Let's not be revisionist and pretend anyone wanted to see Ruiz and Byrd get shots in front of Tyson and Grant. And 20 months is nothing in boxing.

No he doesn't only 'stand a punchers chance', he's quicker and a better boxer than all of them and few have significant size advantages. Can we seriously see the Ruiz who was outboxed by a fat old 5'9 Toney outboxing Mike Tyson

Holyfield may have beaten him but maybe not as he faded badly around this time, Tyson was actually doing better than Holyfield at this time.
