    Why take difficult fights and possibly get beat when you can knock out bums and still bring the house down because you're a big star?
    Firstly, Lewis' one year age gap between him and Tyson is not even worth mentioning and secondly those other two, while older, also weren't on a steady diet of weed, cocaine, booze and god knows what else.

    I don't give a crap about it. It was his problem.however in 1996 his personal life was not very relevant when he destroyed bruno still holyfield kicked his ass in the same year. Nice try with your excuses

    Tyson unified and cleaned out a division. He had to wait for a cruiser to make heavyweight and an Olympic Gold medalist to turn professional to even have the prospect of a decent challenge. Tua had one title fight, which he lost.
    Bruno was more one dimensional than Tyson was at that point. No **** his personal life wasn't relevant when he was winning.

    I never did that to anyone. I've been a basketball forum member for almost a decade and no troll made me out him to ignore. I won't do that, let him feel better for what he does.

    Cocaine,booze...first of all it is not excuse it is a digrace for boxing because real champions do not srink or do cocaine they train and win or gave everything they could unlike Tyson who was mentqlly weak bully!
    2nd Lewis was Olympic gold medalist Tyson couldn't even be in top 5 for Olympics!
    3rd Holyfield was 6 years older,washed from wars!Before Tyson he had 4 losses and was very washed fighter at that time and because that Tyson picked him!Holyfield was older and washed and unlike Tyson didn't duck anybody!

    Tyson cleaned which division?
    Poor 80s division of cab drivers!
    He even ducked every atleast great fighter from that division!
    Old Foreman,Mercer,Holyfield,Page,McCall,Weaver,Whiterspoon and list goes on!
    He cleaned division of 38 years old Holmes?

    Tua comes between men and their good senses!

    The reasoning seems to be power + chin = greatness.

    Boxing simply doesn't work that way.

    You can have top end power, and a top end chin, and still be a failed contender!

    Yeah, they are. They're also the poster formerly known as Combatesedeboxeo, who is legendary around here. A real legend in his own mind.
