    mike tyson vs lewis

    due to the fact i was born in 91 i missed the prime mike tyson yet i seen video's of them fights and my dad was also a fan of tyson and with me being a young age i did not see the positives of technical abilities and all i wanted to see was someone get knocked out, which fitted perfectly with tyson (not saying he didnt have any technical abilities) and that is why i was big fan of him and not lewis, even though i am british because at the time i felt his fights were boring (mainly because i stayed up till the early hours of the morning to watch him fight holyfield, twice and i was about 8 years old at the time!) so i was heavily in favour of tyson winning. Plus the fact i felt this was a prime tyson (i know i was an idiot) i seen him get brutally beat on till lewis knocked him out, yet i still had the belief that tyson could knock him out but it never came, which let me down massively.

    Tyson was long gone, stuffed full with medication, and desperately needed the money; Lewis needed the name.


    Tyson took his absolute beating like a real gentleman, and warrior that night!

    Andy Lee......I didn't buy into the Manny hype, but I got to watch him turn pro here in Detroit and fight a few more times live, and in some televised fights, and was watching his career very closely. I assumed what most did, that he was going to get Vera out of there in a few rounds, but Vera fought unbelievably.

    Add Johnathon Banks to the list if he can;t get past Enzo.

    The fight with Lee has got to be one of the worst stoppages that I've ever seen in a fight. That fight should almost not be counted in my opinion.

    Acelino Freitas when he lost to Diego Corrales. Freitas was a top 10p4p fighter and schooled Corrales for 6 or 7 rounds before running out of gas. He had the tools to beat Chico, but not enough stamina.
    Also, when Freitas quit against Juan Diaz.

    I gota say Andrew Golota all the f#ckin time!!!! He never seems to get it done and when he did (Byrd and Ruiz) he still doesnt get the credit. I must say I havent turned my back on him but he has had more chances than anyone ! Man I get pissed just thinking about all of those fights.

    Also Lewis Tyson b/c I flew there, bought a ticket to the fight , and couldnt of been more disapointed. I thought Tyson had one good punch left.

    Barrera in the Pac rematch or Jones in the 3rd Tarver fight although I admired him for staying up while hurt in the 11th.

    Mayweather against Oscar. I thought in my heart that he would have risked more to achieve more greatness :/..

    Tyson against Lewis.. was the first time I had seen a Tyson fight live it was during the first year or so I was starting to get into boxing lol

    Roy Jones losing to Tarver the second time was more shock the 3rd time was more dissapointment but the 5th round I think it was when RJ came to life it made me excited to see that.

    Toney vs Peter II easily.

    i bought into the Toney camp bragging about having Billy Blanks and James being in the best shape ever as a HW along with how well he fought in the first fight.

    i feel disappointed right now just thinking about it. :-(
