1996-Tyson vs Lewis - What would have happened?

What math? I wasn't saying Tyson was anywhere near his prime. I'm saying Lewis wasn't either though. Also, I was saying that Lewis could've finished Tyson earlier had he gone for the kill.

 

Wow! If you honestly just came to that conclusion from this thread and his name, you friend....are very impressive :yep:good spot on!

 

After not hurting lewis ???? Theres a serious chance that happens my friend.Although i'd lean lewis's way, you cant say tyson could'nt hurt him.

 

Agreed, but it doesn't alter the fact that Lewis-Tyson went to the 8th round was due to Lewis just being cautious rather than Tyson being competitive and can't really be used to try and gauge a result if both fighters had met in their primes.

 

Some think hes still got it now !:nut

 

Your way off with him earning more than tyson.Between 70,000,000 and 120,000,000 was lewis's ring earnings depending on who you believe.Now you know tyson trippled that dont you ??????I agree he was one of the biggest earners of all time though

 

I think Lewis would have easily beaten tyson in 1996 (i believe ti was 96/97) that Evander exposed Iron Mike. And the original poster is right, that would have shot Lewis straight to Evander, however I think in 1996 Holyfield outpoints Lewis and that may have changed the heavyweight landscape. Not too much though b/c as soon as Evander slid like he did (when he lost to Lewis) then Lennox would have had no one who could ahve beatenhim and still probably dominated the division for a couple of years.

 

So when you hear Don King signs him up for 100mill you believed that?:roll: Even Tyson has been quoted saying that figure is laughable. King took so many deductables from fighters with the small print they ended up getting a tiny percentage of what they were due.

Remember, Lewis had sponserships, openings etc. No-one would touch Tyson after the ****.

 

Btw mate here's some reading for you:

It just details how the money Tyson earned went into Kings pocket. Tyson gave Don King power of Attorney

 

Lewis 9 times out of 10, with the 1 in 10 for Mike being a recognition of his punching power.

 

Lewis declined to fight Tyson?? :nut :roll: atsch

If Lewis did not take the step aside money, is it a 100% guarantee that Tyson will fight him?

Try this. Lewis took the enormous step aside money because Tyson would have dumped the belt in the bin anyway instead of fighting Lewis.

 

What king took out of tysons earnings i cant comment on, but like your implying it would've been too much i guess.I did'nt mention anything about a 100 mill signing up deal.Do you honestly believe he earned as much, honestly ????:shock:

 

Do you have any idea of how power of attorney works?
Just incase you don't -
I have FULL control of your finances.

Because this is only 1/2 the story. The other half was that Tyson and his management had promised to fight him afterwards.
