    That was a strange quote I made wasn't it?! But I read somewhere that it was under promoted. Not sure why or even how but I'll have to find the source or multiple sources and try to get back to you in a timely manner because I can wander off the beaten path and get lost and possibly never return to the subject. We must stay focused my friend, we must stay focused...

    If I were to guess up front I'd say it had something to do with this being Tyson's first fight with Showtime, although that does seem counterintuitive because I'm sure they'd promote the heck out of the former and soon to be world champion.

    When their first fight was announced it did seem sudden. Shoot I was in 8th grade in 1991 and we were all waiting for Mike to get his belts back or at least get a shot for a second chance at greatness. But fighting Ruddock was the most difficult path of resistance and beyond shocking.

    Wonder bar! I'm so happy I just spoke another language and even spelled it incorrectly...

    Man you have been more fair & balanced in the past.
    He was perfectly rational, & you did not address his arguments.
    Quoting Tyson Lewis himself saying he was a couple years away, & crediting Lewis with likely victory in 1996...

    That makes him credible & logical.
    Just calling him a silly name instead of making a case...why, because he does not believe that Lewis would *always" beat Tyson?

    I see, thanks.
    Maybe the source you found earlier was comparing the promotion of this fight to the Holyfield vs. Foreman one.
