Reverse a loss: Tyson

Lennox Lewis by far.

 

Perhaps Kevin McBrain. That was just awful lol. A shot Tyson should have won that one. For his big fights. Douglas or one of the Holyfiled fights. But this is changing history. And Tyson is ranked outside of the top ten imo because of his fall. Rember Tyson is the Youngest guy to lose his title at 24.

 

Either Lennox Lewis, or the Evander Holyfield rematch.

 

Lennox Lewis by far. That would've been a Major triumphant comeback moment for him that would've defined his career. Much like Ali vs. Foreman.

 

I would nominate his loss in an Indiana court room.

 

Either the Holyfield rematch or the Lewis fight.

 

Some people say "Tyson lost his biggest matches" and while there's some truth in it, it is a bit misleading. Douglas only became a big fight because he lost to him. If he had beaten Douglas then that fight would have had as much significance as the Carl Williams or Tony Tubbs fight have.

The same to a certain degree goes for the Holyfield fight; Holyfield came into it seen as past his best, old, got off a stoppage loss to Bowe, a loss to Moorer and did not impress against Czyz. If he had been knocked out in 5, the fight would've been better than a Bruno blowout but still no legacy maker.

For the Lewis fight however, Tyson himself was old while Lewis had just delivered one of his finest knockouts against Rahman. On top of that, Lewis was the more accomplished fighter at that point than Holyfield was when Tyson fought him.

If he could reverse te result in the Holyfield rematch it would've been very good too though.

 

Douglas - no question. All the other fights were redemption chances Dougles destroyed Tyson's shot at the top. If he had survived Douglas, he could have lasted another 2 or 3 years as champ and been remembered universally as possibly the greatest heavyweight of all time. Instead he lost and his career and life went down the crapper.

 

why he was going down hill in the fights before Douglas anyway and i dont think it would of made much differents


im going for Holyfield 2 it would of showed he was better (im not saying he is) and the whole ear eating thing wouldent have happend

 

I voted for lennox lewis

if tyson could have beaten him it would have carried more weight than a holyfield victory because in my opinion lewis was established as an all time great already, while holyfield is looked on as an all time great due mostly to the tyson win (ie he probably wouldnt be on most peoples top 10's had he not beaten tyson). it would have been a legendary comeback and secured his legacy.

 

i picked douglas because holy was next up and after real deal whipped his ass we wouldnt have these tyson fans saying yeah but in 96 mike was past it!
