    Tyson looked much more beefy, then in the tapes i have, he looks like he gained about 30 pounds of muscle. He didn't have much head movement too.

    Yet he becomes more agitated than a ****** flinging his fecis at spectators when anyone says something remotely critical about Wlad.

    I have given Lennox his props before... however I simply speak the truth. Lennox could have forced those bigger fights if he wanted to. Lennox was in position to force Tyson into a fight with him, and he took step aside cash instead. So... we can't act like Lewis is free of guilt because he didn't face the best fighters of his era. Had Lewis forced the Tyson fight, and beat him... we all know that a fight with Holyfield would have came next. Then... he would have been at the top of the mountain and all of the fighters would have had to go through him. Instead, he took step aside cash, and he sat relatively in the shadows until the other stars stopped shinning so bright, and he stepped in to clean up what was left over. It's the truth.

    Mike Tyson would have never beat Evander Holyfield or Lennox Lewis. They both owned Mike especially Holyfield.

    Sure he hurt his right hand. He had a dead man, who was way past his prime, and had already given up menatally and still couldn't finish him off. I magine if he was in there with a prime Mike Tyson who was intimidating, and more fereocious.

    Lewis was still scared of Tyson's power, and Emanuel Lewis even stated that. "Dont get hit with nothing big"

    Uhh... yeah. Why do you think that they had to pay him step aside cash?

    Exactly, which is exactly why, combined with his many other achievements, and the deficiencies of some of the others, that I consider him the greatest HW since Holmes.

    Lewis was the organizations Mandatory. Tyson HAD to fight Lewis unless Lewis agreed to take step aside cash. It really isn't any more serious than that. Lewis would not have had to worry about being shut out by Don King if he beat Tyson.
