    Lewis-Tyson. Before Tyson Lewis's legacy was debatable. Afterwards it was sealed.

    I don't know about that.

    I think Lewis did wrap up some unfinish business with Tyson, but I'm still not sure if that fight counts in my eye. Tyson was pretty shot by the time that fight happened and his heart, you could tell was not in boxing anymore. Even though they were in the same place physically, i think mentally Lewis was simply in a better place than Tyson. I think Lewis in heart was still a boxer and had the love of the sport still in him. Tyson did not.

    Still, he got the win.

    But thats what I mean. Lewis was the obvious pick to win, but untill he beat Tyson would always throw that against him and his legacy. After beating Tyson Lewis ended that argument of never being a great fighter for not facing Tyson.
