    Your and idiot. If you knew boxing, you would knew that Lewis himself said that he needed Tyson in his legacy.

    Lewis in his own mind though that. Nobody else agreed.

    Also don't forget that fighting Tyson was Lewis' big PPV payday. Personally, for Lewis there was no fight more important than Tyson.

    For his legacy its quite irrelevant.

    Yeah what an awful legacy! I mean wins over guys like...

    Holyfield
    Briggs
    Vitali
    Mercer
    Bruno
    Mccall
    Rahman
    Tua
    Botha
    Grant
    Golata
    Mike Weaver
    Tyrell Biggs
    Tony Tucker
    Tommy Morrison

    At domestic level he had :

    Glen McCroy
    Garry Mason

    Shocking list really isn't it. Throw in the facts that he won most of these fights in a dominant undisputed fashion, Bowe ducked him, and Lennox beat every man that he ever faced; and we have a real fraud here don't we!

    Oh, and he beat Holyfield twice, and put to rest the ghost of Mike Tyson.

    Lennox took the biggest name of his era in Mike Tyson, the same way Calzaghe finally got Roy Jones.

    Dont change the fact that Lewis keept calling him out.

    Ohh that stupid thing he keept saying: If Tyson thinks he is the best, I put him to rest, Lennox Lewis is the best.

    Lewis>Tyson. If Tyson was so great why did he drop WBC belt rather than face Lewis? Lewis had been chasing the Tyson fight for years, it just happens that by the time Lewis finally caught up to Tyson, Tyson was shot to ****, but in Lennox's mind its the fight he had wanted for years. Lennox's record speaks for itself. He is the greatest HW of modern times who defeated everyman he faced.

    Lewis was offered 13 million to tyson but turned it down in 95 i think? Instead opting for 4 mill to let tyson face holyfield, holyfield was the fight everyone wanted for years! Just like when tyson "ducked" foreman but foreman was the one who turned 3 offers of up to 20 million to fight him,

    Your an idiot. I just repeat what Lewis him self said. ThomTard. Morron.

    FCUKING IDiOT! It was Don King who decided who Tyson fought and who he did not. He rather saw him fight a big mega fight with Holyfield, rathere than a shitty fight with Lewis. Lewis dosent sell and it would not have been a big fight. It clearly show you dont know **** about boxing.

    You dont know ****. Either. And you should know. Yu Pac lover cant fight anybody either. Because of his promoter Bob Arum.

    Everyone knows I don't support Pac you stupid ****** :lol:

    I destroyed your point about Lewis, all this thread has done is expose you as a ****** who know's Jack about Boxing. Find another Forum dude, too many trolls here without adding legit dumb arses like you :hi:

    Lewis doesn't sell? The man has multiple millions and the Tyson fight was HUGE.

    Think he means lewis didnt sell well back then, the fight would not have been any where near as big as tyson holy! Plus tyson holy had been going on for the best part of 6 years, it needed to happen and thats the fight everyone wanted!
