Lewis-MCcall II-Major disgrace

Which means that he was considered to be back on track. Getting out of rehab is a lot better than training on coke. You make it sound asif he's addicted and was just admitted to the drug rehabilitation center but Lennox Lewis stormed the rehab center, pulled McCall out and threw him in the ring. Wrong. He was released from it meaning that they deamed him to be okay.

There are a thousand fighters with these mental problems and addictions whom all were allowed to fight and nobody complained because they never broke down in the ring. McCall did and of course there were a lot of factors that contributed, but fact remains that he is the single only case in history that did exactly this in the ring. There was no reason whatsoever to assume he was gonna cry in the ring.

McCall fought fine for 3 rounds. What if he landed the same punch in round 2 and again got stopped prematurely? Not a soul on this planet would complain about McCall being in the ring.

The fact that McCall was a combinations of factors, him being dominated in the ring, perhaps the drugs past, perhaps he didn't receive enough hugs from his mom draining his confidence later in life, who knows?
Bottom line is that there have been 100000000 similar cases of boxers being addicted to drugs and throwing Christmas trees and phones around. This is nothing new.


Imagine a fight being pulled off because "Our fighter was just deamed okay by the drug rehabilitation center , but he threw a Christmas tree around yesterday when he was mad, so the fight is off!". Maybe he should've had a more acceptable excuse, like a hole in his heart.

Let me ask you this Zakman. Tyson is known to be on drugs, in fact the Botha KO was later ruled a No Decision because he was on drugs even in the ring. He said to do coke whenever he got his hands on it.
Now some months before the Lewis fight, he goes out to Lewis and bites him in the leg. Clearly this is much worse than throwing a Christmas tree around. Everyone has done that some time in a drunk/angry mood. And yes, i realise that some venues refused to stage the Lewis/Tyson fight because of this incident, but do you think Tyson should not have been allowed in the ring with Lewis because he was mentally not there? And don't start about how Tyson was old, washed up etc, nor that he didn't just got out of drug rehab; he was still on drugs so that's even worse.

 

Don King still took 80% of that too.
