If Lennox Lewis needed to beat Mike Tyson, to fulfill his leagcy - it had to be bad

Lennox doesn't sell?

Here's some info for you from wikipedia about Tyson Vs. Lewis:

It was the highest-grossing event in pay-per-view history, generating US$106.9 million from 1.95 million buys in the USA, until it was surpassed by De La Hoya vs. Mayweather in 2007.[2] It remains, however, the highest-grossing heavyweight pay-per-view event in boxing history.


Don King chose Holyfield because he thought it was a more winnable fight and Tyson was the bettiong favourite going into the fight.



:hi:

 

Still doesn't change the fact Tyson dumped a belt rather than face Lewis.

That remains a fact

 

I'm 24 and, that's a video game character not a cartoon character.


wrong and wrong

 

If any one is a troll its you. Posting names like very old Weaver, Drugged Golota, crying crack addict Biggs, bum Morrison, and two poor fighters who KO'd Lewis' ass out with one punch each makes you look like a big troll. If Rahman and McCall are what makes Lennox's leagcy, I guess Sanders makes Wladimir an ATG.:hi:

 

I would have admitted to being 24 and still playing video games! I stopped those when I was 16! But I also had a job and a 22yo girlfriend that you probably dont have even today..

 

Lewis was offerd 13million to fight tyson but turned it down saying he wanted more cos he was mandatory so tyson moved on and dumped the belt as lewis was asking too much as he wasnt a ppv star then! So he sued tyson and got 4 million settlment and told to **** off for being a whiny *****.

 

Do you expect any resume to consist of just ATG's? Look at any Great Heavyweight Champions resume, there will be names like those I mentioned.

I hope you're an Alt, because you can't both be this stupid :blood

 

What's wrong with computer games? It's a far reaching, multi billion pound industry that appeals to all age groups nowadays. The days where people who played computer games are viewed as a little bit weird is long gone my friend. I also have a 21 year old gf, a job and also train 4-5 times a week. So you are wrong and wrong again!

 

And who was vindicated in the long run?

Lewis.

 

how?

 

Holyfield beating Tyson twice and then Lennox drawing and beating Holfield, Becoming undisputed champion, and the eventual Tyson/Lennox matchup being the richest fight in history upto that point where lewis K Tyson TFO

Lewis was vindicated

 

either way you look at it both holyfield and lewis were past it. but my point was that tyson never "ducked" lewis. lewis is a great strong fighter but as time goes on he is being overated. he was a jab and clinch kind of fighter just like wlad. but the good thing about lewis is he let his hands go every so often and made for a few good exciting fights. but he did struggle with lower oppesition though. eg bruno and mercer

 

**** off ****.
