1996-Tyson vs Lewis - What would have happened?

:rofl:rofl:rofl

You've been sorely missed my friend.

 

:happy

 

Speaking of doing "math". Would 1995/1996 really be considered the "late 90's"?? OK, I'll spot you one Widdow. It is somewhat subjective.

 

Check out the WALDO/Haye thread, apparently WALDO has lost his temper with the Hayemaker and the Klit-ites are all excited about it :rofl:rofl

 

I saw it.

The fanboys have been waiting years for a domineering form of the man, if you catch my drift.

Listen to Steward's dumbass comments about what a tiger WALD has been in sparring. Haye fans couldn't hope for better - WALD having his first temper tantrum since waking up in that hospital bed after the Little Green Man drugged him during the Brewster loss. Maybe he'll throw his "somewhat" conservative style to the wind in blind rage and open an opportunity for a Hayemaker. :yep

 

What was it Ali used to say about getting under his opponents skin before a fight? "it don't make em fight better it makes em fight harder" :yep

WALDO is being played like a Stradivarius by the Hayemaker, and for some reason the Klit-ites are enjoying it :nut

 

Lennox Lewis saw that 13.5M$ was not a big enough payday to play by Don King's terms for the rest of his career, and he saw that he could be more successful going another route. In hindsight looking at the way his career turned out he was probably right.

The smart move on his part was accepting the 4million$ to let Tyson duck him, and going on with his career beating the likes of Morrisson, Mercer, McCall, Briggs, Golota, etc. until he would eventually face Tyson again and set things straight.

If not then he would either 1) be under the grip of DK or 2) get a shitty purse as part of a purse bid or 3) scare Tyson into dropping his belt and therefore get no money at all.

 

Widdow: In fairness, if Radar is a blind Lewis fan, you're certainly a blind Klitschko fan. however the two of you back up your own arguments at least to your own satisfaction whereas most on here just write an inane comment and bugger off.

On thread:
Personally speaking, I think an 80's Tyson ko's Lewis. In 1996, Tyson was not the same, he fooled a lot of people after he came out of juvie, holyfield and Botha showed that it wasn't 1987 anymore. I think Lewis takes it, late ko, more competitive than the actual fight, a few scares along the way but the result ultimately...similar. Tyson's mind strayed from boxing before he even won the title imo.

 

Always!

 

Oh, no. Now my feelings are all hurt and ****.

 

Bingo. :deal

 

That's the bottom ****ing line.
