    Let me say it again, they can do whatever the hell they want to. Just one thing, if it goes the distance, i would like to see judges scoring this fight a give the decision to the rightful winner, even if it is going to be a soft sparring session with tickles and hugs. I just don't want it to be a pre planned draw.

    It'll be interesting to see how Lennox looks after all these years.
    I've got no problem with these exhibitions between legends. As long as they stay exhibitions.
    Let them have some fun and earn some money.
    I don't want to see a proper fight. These guys have paid their dues when it come to blood, sweat and tears.
    I've got no interest in watching a 50+ year old man taking a beating or getting knocked out.

    They should put it on the undercard of Fury v AJ.

    Typical Steward tactics.

    Bad decision by Iron Mike. He couldn't deal with Lewis's size, skills at 36 in 2002, what is he going to do now at age 55 in 2021?

    I'll be very surprised if Lennox does agree to fight Tyson 2. Both Violet's, his lovely wife & his Mum, had been harassing him to retire & be a Dad.
    I think that Wlad could have got him to have one more fight, but he didnt want to know he went AWOL lol .After all a barely 80 % Lennox TKO 6 Vitali he wasnt worth a rematch

    I`ll only credit that comment because Foreman backed up what you`re saying by mentioning it was Steward that told Lewis to hold and that that`s how he admitted he trained taller fighters to fight, specifically Wlad, however didn`t train Hearns that way at all and Tommy had better fundamentals as a tall fighter in his respective weight range than Lewis or Wlad, great trainer.

    Lewis needs Stewart, Tyson was a drugged up mess in 2002.

    I like this and be good to this. I think Mike looks better for his age than Lennox does. Lennox reminds me of an old man now. Oh how the tables turn.

    Mike was in a terrible state in that fight. He probably has the edge in physical condition over Lewis now, and seems in a good place mentally. Lewis' size and skills were no more the issue than McBride's size and skills were.

    It's just an exhibition. Both guys will make some good money for a public light sparing session


    Lenox is not a goof. I can't see him trying to turn it into a war if they both agree to go lite which is what I think they are doing.

    Holyfield on the other hand probably would try to turn it into a war.

    Tyson at this point in his life, doesn't need or want that. Neither does Holyfield, he just doesn't know it yet.

    Is that the same Lewis who claimed he ages like "fine wine"? Then swiftly retired because "His wife told him to" immediately after he coincidentally got the shock of his life by underestimating Vitali then winning on cuts in a fight he was clearly losing? Hmm....

    Lennox had trained for a warm up against Kirk Johnson & was barely 80% When Kirk pulled out Lennox took on Vitali ,his #1 contender on a few days notice His gave Vitali a facelift TKO-6. Wlad went AWOL he didnt want to face Lennox LOL . So Lennox chose to retire at EXACTLY the right time there was njo one else to fight
