    Lewis was hitting him with all his might, just like he was targeting vitalis eye with all his might. Lewis even praised Tysons chin at the end of the bout.

    Well well, a fighter showed magnanimity in victory. So what's new?

    Round eight against Douglas. He was losing and getting beat up, then landed an uppercut which put Douglas down and almost out.

    Someone like Joe Frazier, who's offense consists of walking forward in a straight line with his chin stuck in the air, is not beating a Tyson firing on all cylinders. In fact I can guarantee a quick drubbing at the hands of Iron Mike, someone who has far better tools at his disposal than even Joe Frazier. Even YOU can not deny this.

    Pretty unlike lenni as his post victory interviews with rahman, Vitali show, maybe it is the simple fact he was telling the truth.

    The hand was injured thanks to Tysons legendary granite chin. But let's not kid ourselves, lenni like in all his matches was hitting Tyson with all his might and still couldn't get him out there unlike a Danny Williams.

    Please don't tell me Danny Williams was better than Lewis. :-(

    Nope, just highlighting that an ordinary fighter like Danny Williams was able to beat a shot Tyson in quicker fashion compared to lenni who was hitting Tyson with all his might.

    Tyson was much better against Lewis than against Williams.

    That's not true at all. He threw more combinations against Williams in the opening round till the time he did his knee. He was still the same shot fighter. A fighter of lennis caliber should have had him out of there much earlier than he actually did and it wasn't due to a lack of trying at all.

    Absolute nonsense. Tyson even said he more concerned about Joe prior to the fight. Two completely different people.

    Can't fault Tyson for having massive respect for Joe which is inline with his beliefs of giving massive respect to all time great fighters.

    But sorry Tyson has to many tools for Joe.

    Whatever way this is going, Frazier is not going nighty night.
