    I am still laughing at that Tyson Perralta video.

    I think Tyson took a dive with that shot, it buzzed him badly but I think he just said to himself "**** it" and decided to lay down.

    I really think Lennox could have kept him at range for the first couple of rounds. In his prime Mike had a weakness to the uppercut, which is one of Lewis best punches in his offensive arsenal.

    I remember Manny Steward said "Lewis would grab to clinch with his left hand and then slip in the uppercut while you weren't looking."

    He's also a quitter and only time he went against a great puncher Lewis was past it. If Lewis had of been in shape and come to fight its KO4 most definately KO6

    If Larry Holmes couldn't keep Tyson at bay why does Lennox have a much better chance? Larry was better on his feet maybe not as heavy handed but faster

    Don't forget Bruno/ Tyson 1. Bruno nearly survived 5 rounds against a near prime Tyson. Bruno came close to being knocked out in the first but survived the Tyson onslaught till the fifth round.

    Chuvalo was stopped by Foreman and Frazier who was similar to Tyson.

    Larry Holmes was 36-38 and hadn't fought in 2 years. Silly comparison.
