Lewis vs Tyson: A super fight that lived up to the hype?

Crying shame how that fight happened when it did. Way too late. Even Lewis was on the slide when it happened!

'97 would have been a great time for it to happen.

 

Not many fights could live up to that huge billing. But I'll always remember it, so that makes it significant to me. In the Lewis corner between rounds, he was being told to finish it asap, as Tyson was still extremely dangerous. That really kept me on the edge of my seat. I was, however, horrifically drunk at the time.
