    Actually Tyson wanted the fight as much or more than Lewis. Thanking him profusely after the fight. Course is was really the money he wanted, and truthfully that applied to both fighters. It was a huge retirement payday for both.

    Now. 15 pages of Lemmie apologists.....


    Butler, Tucker, Akinoctopuss, Mohawk, Tame Buffalo, McCracken, Hasbeen HBOHYPEGrant etc etc etc.........C/D level fighters and/or Don King WBC manipulated empty suit recycled washed up cannonfodder.

    The irony, taking the shell of a shell Tyson impersonator almost the distance and his trainer sweating bullets that the fat tranqualized dope addict catches those fragile whiskers.

    The O -N - L- Y Champion of A-N-Y weight class in the history of boxing who got waxed by O-N-E punch T-W-I-C-E by ham and eggers. undisputable fact.

    Interesting that you have Moorer as a major player but omit Tua - Also you have Bowe but miss out Golota and you also use old Foreman but dont count Morrison.

    Whats all that about then?

    Nice thread :lol:

    Some gyus had gone so far that they called Lennox average and even (bum):huh

    On the other hand, someone here said that Lewis has the best resume in HW history, which is aslo bullshіt.

    Do you lie in all of your posts or just the ones concerning Lewis?

    First off you claim either falsely or stupidly, ( take your pick ) the he head butted Klitchko, when he didn't.

    Now you are claiming he ducked Bowe in 93. More lies. After Bowe had beaten Holyfield, and Lewis had beaten Ruddock it was agreed that the winners would square off. Bowe offered Lewis 10% of the alleged 32 million purse. Maloney told Bowe's gofer ( Newman ) to go fvck himself. They then offered Lewis 2 million to fight on a Bowe undercard. Again Maloney told them to fvck themselves, on the pretext that if someone offers you only 3 . 2mill for a title fight, but is willing to give you 2 mill for an undercard fight, they haven't got a pot to p.i.s.s in, and they are talking sh it.

    But do carry on with your lies and fantasies because at least the kids can have a laugh at you.

    Correct, but why let the fantasies of Lewis haters, and Tyson nut huggers get in the way of truth.

    Possibly true, though highly doubtful but both his losses were avenged.

    Tell me why is it that when prime 23 yr old Tyson was left crawling and dribbling around the ring like baby looking for its dummy by Buster, he DIDN'T EVEN try to get revenge?

    How come the younger Klit got big brother to avenge the fat South African golfer KHTFO?

    Now if you want to talk about over rated, and p.u.s.s.i.e.s those two would be a good place to start.

    This thread is interesting. Opinions vary across the board. Both extremes have their fair share of points.

    Nah. I just think you embarrassed yourself here. Does it feel good to be on the same side as this Frankel character, you feel?
