    Lewis was not focused for either fight, common knowledge, and you said it didnt matter, which it does, which was shown in the rematch.

    Can you except the fact that a Prime Tyson can beat Lewis just as Lewis can beat Tyson? Thats all that matters really. those unfocused fights were Lewis' problems and no one else.

    and yet Ricky Hatton alone has traveled more than:

    Mayweather
    Moseley
    Dawson
    Williams
    Bradley
    Dirrell
    Ward
    Berto
    Alexander


    COMBINED!

    Obviously I see Tyson winning, but I dont see Lewis' two defeats as good reasons.

    And Ricky has lost when he stepped up to an American and an Asian. Nice going Ricky boy:rofl

    whats even better is that Ward and Dirrell beat two of your better Euro figthers in a tourney:rofl

    so instead of responding with the travelling point (which ive owned you on), you changed it to the results? maybe if your fighters ever had to travel abroad it would be different. I know for a fact if my football team played every game at home this season we would do alot better than we will playing half our games away.

    Dirrell got seen too. even when running like a *****

    ricky is like 10-1-0 against americans dick! remember the last american he dicked, paulie!

    How could you not? I cant see Tyson winning a UD over Lewis so a ko would be the obvious choice if he were to win given the facts thats how Lewis 2 defeats came about.

    He slaughtered Rachman. The The McCall rematch is one he honesty shouldn't even get credit for. DId you see the fight? McCall was hoped up on drugs or something hard, crying and he refused to defend himself. Still, Lewis did nothing. He didn't knock him down or even hurt him. THe fight was called because McCall had a mental breakdown, not because Lewis "slaughtered" him. :patsch:patsch:patsch

    Dirrell-Froch could had gone either way.

    As for traveling, Euro fighters keep to there home turf just as much as Americans do.

    And McCall beat Lewis because Lewis wasnt focused. Are you serious? He didnt hurt him? Of course not McCall has one of the best chins in boxing history, saying ''he didnt even hurt him'' is pointless.

    hint:

    it's because there is plenty of competition here, the biggest venues, and all the biggest promoting forces in the sport like HBO, Showtime, GBP, TR, DKP, etc are based here. They have the upper hand and they force it.
