Tyson ducked: Foreman, Lewis

After Lennox Ko'd Tyson, George went over and pulled down Lennoxs pants and said, this is for you big daddy and proceeded to suck him off, only to comment later that he did purely out of fear of Lennox Lewis

Dempsey goes largely inactive after being crowned champion just after turning 24. Louis is sidelined by WW II at age 27 for over four years. Ali loses the three best years of his boxing life to exile just after turning 25. Foreman takes a decade long powder after Young at barely 27. Tyson loses four years of his boxing life to a prison sentence starting at age 25. (Mike was about the same age for Ruddock II that Ali was for Terrell.) Pardon me while I scream.:cus:wall It sometimes seems incredible that boxing survived at all with these gaping historical voids. (Let's toss in SRL's retinal tear absence of five years between Finch in 1983, when Ray was 25, and his comeback with Hagler at age 30. We should also throw in Leotis Martin when discussing retina issues. Leotis was already 30 when he knocked out Liston, but showed excellent legs and movement in dragging Sonny into deep water. Martin against Frazier in 1970 could have been better than Jimmy Ellis or Bob Foster. He had the combination of movement, power and stamina to pose some issues.)

 

Great post. This is how i viewed it

 

Excellent post ironchamp

 

Seconded.

 

The real moral of this story is that the most successful fighters and promoters are greedy money-grubbing egomaniacs who all demand a million more than the next guy, and think they've earned the right to control each other's careers.

:deal

 

Amen.

 

If you're aware off King's $13.5 million offer to Lewis, you should also know that it included not just the Tyson fight, but for Lewis to then figuratively take all his clothes off & get into bed with King. That's why the Lewis camp declined it.

 

i mean that deal sounds even better, I don't understand why The Lion didn't accept the offer. Wouldn't you want Don's old wrinkly juicy deluctable **** in your mouth, i know i would. :good

 

Good thread. Absurd to accuse Tyson of ducking these guys.

 

i agree absolutely.this kid ironchamp has great imagination, lol.
foreman wanted fight against tyson because mike was the perfect victim for george , even cus damato said that the style of mike would be horrible against foreman. foreman was bigger,stronger,harder puncher,he had longer reach, he had better chin, more heart and tyson would exchange blows with him. lmao . old foreman would ko prime tyson in 6 rounds. prime vs prime foreman would make tyson his ***** in 2 rounds.:rofl:rofl:rofl

little ironchamp you can talk the **** what you want. tyson avoided foreman and foreman would destroy tyson. end of the history
