    A lot of mismatches aren't that on paper. That guy listed like 3 Jones fights. When Jones fought 2 of those guys they were good fighters. Richard Hall was always a good contender, not his fault Roy was worlds above him. Bit it made it a mismatch.

    I thought Holyfield might be killed in the Valuev fight just like Appollo Creed but lucky for him Valuev did't throw any punches.

    I agree with this 100%, Tyson at the point of this fight being made had no chance because you could see if you was a real boxing fan you would be able to clearly see that tyson mentally was not tuned in and physically he was a 2 or 3 round fighter at best, his heart was not in the game anymore. This was the time when most was saying that Lewis was just a man of timing...It was a calculated move and this fight just happened at the wrong time for Tyson and the right time for Lewis, total mismatch at the time. On a psychological level Lewis had won the battle long time
