    He put up one of his career best performances in Rahman II a year earlier and beat ATG Vitali a year later. He still had enough mileage left.

    Douglas wasn't leaning on Tyson every time Tyson got close.

    He was outboxing him, doublin, tripling his jab and moving side to side.

    Don't blame Cotton for Lewis excessive clinching.

    That's just as pathetic as Hatton fans trying to lay the blame on Cortez for the Mayweather fight.

    Tyson in one round, if McCall & Rahman can knock out Lewis, then Tyson gets hin in the first. Lewis is the most overrated heavyweight ever.

    But Lewis would be super cautious and fully switched on against Tyson.

    Stop making excuses. Your boy was hitting Tyson with all his might just like he was targeting klitschkos eye with all his might and the sound of those punches could be heard in the crowd.

    Precisely. Anyone who has been knocked out like an over protected girl via one big shot to the face where he wasn't even sucker punched does not deserve to be rated highly in this manly sport.

    As if that will help him against a Tyson at his best or close to his best.

    Ya I know that. After reading your posts I've concluded that you're only buying the story you want to hear, won't want the truth to get in the way of that.

    Oh I agree completely, but that was in the later rounds, and yes, I agree that Lewis made Tyson his *****.

    Fact is Tyson was a midget in the ring with Lewis and he got the beating of his life.

    thing is, they didn't beat him in the returns so your evidence is neutral.
