@JoeCalzagheTheCoward It's becoming obvious to me that you have some weird deep seeded sexual attraction to Lennox Lewis, that's probably why you devote 99% of your life watching his videos over and over and repeating your comments over and over. Or you're a lonely Virgin that's never seen a pussy in his life so he chooses to look at a 6'5 250lb black man all day.
Ray Mercer - 1996 - Mercer was 35. So poor was his record, he hadn't won a fight for 3 yrs, a controversial SD against Jesse Ferguson in 1993. He was also outclassed by a 43 yo Larry Holmes in 1991. Mercer dominated and was clearly robbed. Naturally Mercer wanted a rematch offering to donate his all his $10m purse to Charity (Project Pride-Newark).Typically the Vulture Lennox Lewis refused!
Razor Ruddock - a walking Asthma Attack who had already been ko'd by a bum called David Jaco who retired with a 24-25-1 (18 by KO) record, who had never held any version of a world title and no relevant wins
Frank Bruno - 1993- Famous for stamina problems and a caramel chin (James Smith '84 + Witherspoon '86) washed up Bruno had fought just 4 times (against bums) since a KO to Tyson in '89
Oliver McCall - Oliver was 29 years old and stopped Lennox easily in the 2nd round. However in 1996 he fell into Crack Cocaine-Alcohol Problems. He had 3 drug related arrests and was under house arrest / drug rehab since December 15th 1996. Coward Lennox Lewis decided it was now "safe" to face Oliver McCall who would surely have knocked him out easily again if he was not in the throes of drug addiction
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward McCall's own promoter Don King said McCall was ready for the fight, it was the WBC who set it up. Lewis was not responsible for whatever crap McCall was going through in his life nor whatever drugs McCall may or may not have been taking at the time. Lewis could only fight what they put in front of him. If McCall had been half the boxer or half the champion Lewis was then he would never have been in than state of mental breakdown in the first place
@11nytram11 Lewis wants revenge on drunken druggie Oliver
Dillon John Date Jan 5 1997
McCall has hardly been seen in public since he entered a drugs rehabilitation clinic in North Carolina last Autumn to fight cocaine and marijuana problems. When he did surface, he was promptly arrested for slinging a Christmas tree across a hotel foyer in Nashville His erratic behaviour means no-one is quite sure what shape or frame of mind he'll be in when he turns up to meet Lewis next month
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward You just come across as a bitter fanboy who cannot accept the fact that Lewis beat many American fighters on American soil and was one of the top fighters of his era. Your happy to hide in anonyminity on the web but I bet if you ever met him in real life you'd be to afriad to repeat any of the crap you've been saying for the past god knows how many years.
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward In fact, I bet you couldn't even remember half the crap you've posted over the years since the majority of them just been cut and paste jobs of quotes you've lifted from news articles and posted again and again and again. Got news for you, that is what is defined on the internet as Spam.

LENNOX Lewis was reminded here last night of the harsh truth that he has waded to the top of the world through a pile of washed up drunks and junkies. "Lionel Butler was on drugs, Oliver McCall was in and out of rehabilitation with drug and booze problems and Tommy Morrison went on drinking binges before the fight," said Steward.
Hasim Rahman - A fighter who didn't even take up boxing until the age of 20, making his pro debut at 22 in 1994 a guy with no punch resistance, not just been ko'd, but out of the ring in 1999 by Oleg Maskaev. Lennox got ko'd in 5 Hasim Rahman 2 - Lennox won in 4 in a 2001 rematch, so poor was Hasim Rahman that he didn't win another fight until a 2004 U/D "HBO Ballroom Boxing" match with 41yo Al Cole
It's the aftermath of a heavyweight shock and Simon Baker discuses the fall-out
But in terms of legacy, which is what Lewis now insists he is fighting for, would an Ali, a Holmes, a Tyson or even a Holyfield have ever been knocked out twice by single shots from top end journeymen no matter how ill prepared they were?
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Of course the defeats to Rahman and McCall are a knock to Lewis's legacy but they are not typical of his fights and do not outweight the rest of his career, particularly because Lewis fought them again and proved how superior he actually was to them.
For seven weeks before Friday night's Oliver McCall-Lennox Lewis spectacle, HBO Sports had serious doubts about McCall's state of mental health.
McCall had previous drug and legal woes. He had been arrested Dec. 15 at a Nashville hotel for throwing a Christmas tree and spitting on a police officer.
McCall was dividing his days between training and drug rehabilitation.
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Yes superior you tit. Rahman was made to look a total amatuer in his rematch with Lewis as was McCall. It wasn't Lewis's decision to fight McCall again, that was set up by the WBC, nor was Lewis responsible for the state of McCall when the fight occured, in fact it was Don King who insisted McCall was ready for the fight. McCall ruined his own life and career and proved he was never fit to lace Lewis' boots, the unprofessional drug addict that he was.
"You know why tyson is able to nail so many opponents is because he doesnt just throw one or two punches,he throws 3,4 and 5 punch combinations" quote by Sugar Ray Leonard apr 1987. TYson stopped a key feature in his arsenal in beating guys like holy and lewis.It was the lack of combination punching and the lack of stamina after 1988. Lewis would lose to the 87-88 tyson
I only know Emanuel Steward as Wladimir Klitschko's coach. Amazing to see how vicious he used to be. With Klitschko, he acts more like a friendly grandfather.
Lewis said. Today's Tyson is no longer the Tyson of legend after being beaten twice by Evander Holyfield. And after the second Holyfield bout - a low point in sports history - things really went downhill.
Lewis said. "I understand that he still has a lot of fans out there, but they're fans that look at him when Tyson was Tyson. The Tyson of today is a different man."
He had fought only 19 rounds in five years against inferior opponents. Lennox Lewis was a different breed of cat.
Lewis doesn't belong with the great heavyweight champions. But he has all the tools, and this was one night when he used them to perfection.
"Everyone is holding on to that image of Mike Tyson from 10 to 12 years ago," Emanuel Steward, Lewis' trainer, said before the fight. "That Mike Tyson is gone."
He hid in England until all the best HW fighters were past their primes, and that's undeniable.
In England, he got knocked out by his only live opponent (Oliver McCall), exposing a fragile decanter chin.
Against an overweight and completely shot Mike Tyson, it took Lennox 8 rounds to get the job done. Note that Tyson weighed 234 pounds here. Compare that to the 215 pounds he weighed when he brutalized Larry Holmes.
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward That "He hid in England" bit is just an outright lie. 22 of Lewis's 41 fights were held in America including the Tyson and Holyfield fights, Rahman and McCall 2, Mercer, Tua, Grant, Briggs, Morrison, Galota, Tucker and Klitchko.
In comparison only 5 of Tyson's 50 fights and 5 of Holyfield 44 fights were held outside the US, Bowe only ever had 1 fight outside the US, and of Foreman 76 fights only 8 were held out of the States.
Lewis was a regular feature in American Boxing from 1991 til he retired. He spent the majority of his career in the states and was around when Bowe and Holyfield were in their prime. If he "hid in England" then majority of his fights would have happened in England. Lewis had 18 fights in the UK and most of them occured before he became world champion. After 1992 he only had 3 fights in the UK
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward What you continue to ignore about Lewis's defeat to McCall is that Lewis is not the only heavyweight to slip up against lesser opposition - for example, Tyson in his prime was KOed by Buster Douglas who was just a journeyman before that and accomplished nothing after it - and Lewis wasn't even the finished article when he slipped up against McCall, and when he lost to Rahman he was complacent - filming a movie instead of training for the fight.
@11nytram11TYSON'S TOUGHEST BATTLES IN FUTURE ARE WITH HIMSELF.(Sports)
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
November 5, 1996
The night he lost to Buster Douglas, Mike Tyson probably wouldn't have beaten Herman Munster. He was soft both physically and mentally, and, for the one and only time in his professional fighting career, appeared vulnerable.
In the days and weeks before that 1990 fight in Tokyo, Tyson had been drinking heavily and carousing in Las Vegas.
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward My point was that even the best have off days and if you recognize the Douglas fight as a one off bad performance from Tyson in his prime then cannot treat the Rahman/McCall fights as typical of Lewis's work. That would be a case of double standard, of treating Lewis one way and Tyson another.
Mike Tyson - Before we encroach this subject, lets rewind to 1998 and a statement by Emmanuel Steward about the quality of Lennox Lewis's opposition-"Lionel Butler was on drugs, Oliver McCall was in and out of rehabilitation with drug and booze problems and Tommy Morrison went on drinking binges before the fight,"
Mike Tyson admitted he was ALSO a washed up drug addict in 2002!
Hasim Rahman - A fighter who didn't even take up boxing until the age of 20, making his pro debut at 22 in 1994 a guy with no punch resistance, not just been ko'd, but out of the ring in 1999 by Oleg Maskaev. Lennox got ko'd in 5
Hasim Rahman 2 - Lennox won in 4 in a 2001 rematch, so poor was Hasim Rahman that he didn't win another fight until a 2004 U/D "HBO Ballroom Boxing" match with 41yo Al Cole
if lewis didnt hit mike then grapple the fuck out of him so mike couldnt return with some nasty ass punches that pissed me off so bad plus how mike couldnt figure out that he was dying by repeated jabs GAHHH -_-
Evander Holyfield - Lennox cleverly waited until Holyfield was 37 years old to finally muster up the courage to fight him. Holyfield had already once retired with a congenital heart defect and looked a shadow of his late 90's-Early 90's prime. After Holyfield winning a controversial decision against Vaughn Bean in 1998, Lennox Lewis realised this was the "perfect moment" to face Evander Holyfield
Razor Ruddock - a decent win in round 2. But this guy never held a title. Add to that the fact that Ruddock had already been knocked out by a bum with a glass jaw called David Jaco and later an HIV+ Tommy Morrison in 1995
Oliver McCall - Oliver was 29 years old and stopped Lennox easily in the 2nd round.
Tommy Morrison - Tommy was 25 years old, and and HIV+ so this is Lennox's best win?
Lewis is class. It's sad watching Tyson, when he's on his stool after round 5, blood all on his face, he got everything to quick in his career. & America took him to the cleaners.
Drug's, the women, etc, shame Cus D'mato was so old when he found Iron Mike.
DRUGS AND JUNKIES DRUGS AND JUNKIES , ON AND ON AND ON....PLEASE CUT THE CRAP.STOP WITH THE EXCUSES LEWIS=LEGEND TYSON= FAILED LEGEND.GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@eagle180181 Hahahaha, bullshit. Lewis Ain't got nothin on Tyson. This ain't Mike Tyson, this is a washed up Mike Tyson. He's not even half the fighter he use to be when this fight took place, and still, the only reason Lewis won was because he outsmarted him.
LENNOX Lewis was reminded here last night of the harsh truth that he has waded to the top of the world through a pile of washed up drunks and junkies.
"Lionel Butler was on drugs, Oliver McCall was in and out of rehabilitation with drug and booze problems and Tommy Morrison went on drinking binges before the fight," said Steward.
Today's Tyson is no longer the Tyson of legend after being beaten twice by Evander Holyfield. And after the second Holyfield bout-went downhill
"Tyson's last few have basically been traveling circus shows," Lewis said. "I understand that he still has a lot of fans out there, but they're fans that look at him when Tyson was Tyson. The Tyson of today is a different man."
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Lennox Lewis = Coward??? After he demolished the man who kicked Tysons arse....twice (Holyfield never drew that fight, Lewis won it)...then beats every single other heavyweight in the world of any regard, including Tyson. Lewis was a hard hitting, well skilled champion. He deserved his titles. He was a good champion, and the last truely great world champion.
@ScrotyMcDickfaceLENNOX LEWIS retired because he didn’t think MUHAMMAD ALI will fight him to prove his “greatness”. He could get a READY JOB as a COMEDIAN! The COWARD even got BEATEN TO A PULP by a POST-HEART ATTACK, JOHN RUIZ ERA version of EVANDER HOLYFIELD who was NEARLY 40 at the time! The COWARD also WAITED until MIKE TYSON was SMOKING MORE MARIJUANA than CHEECH AND CHONG and instead of TRAINING for his FIGHT with LENNOX LEWIS, he SMOKED MARIJUANA on a BEACH in MAUI with HIPPIES instead!

COWARD LENNOX LEWIS = MURDERED BY A WASHED UP EVANDER HOLYFIELD.........JOHN RUIZ IS BETTER!!
@explotivex: Fucking retard, first lets get this straight. Lewis ducked Tyson in 1989-1990, he never dared call out Tyson even though he had the chance. Then after Tyson goes to prison for 3 years Lewis finally grew some balls to challenge Tyson. Why the fuck would Tyson duck Lewis in the 90's when Tyson was younger, and then agree to fight him in 2002 when Tyson is older? Tyson was never afraid of Lewis, he HATED Lewis and has ALWAYS WANTED to fight Lewis, ever since they were little kids.
@Godzila370: Also right when Tyson came out of prison, both Lewis and Holyfield had a shot at him, but Lewis declined, and Holyfield accepted. Tyson never ducked Lewis, it's the other way around. And then after Tyson spends a year in prison AGAIN for assaulting two motorists, Lewis FINALLY gets the balls to call Tyson's name out.
@49kdonggyu94 ROFL are u fucking stupid? Jesus fucking Chirst rofl fucking idiot. TYSON PAID lewis 4 million dollars at that time in the early 90's to NOT FIGHT . ROFL. Jesus are u fucking idiotic? Holyfield himself said ( you can probably find video on youtube) that he Owes everything to lennox because TYSON and BOWE are too scared to fight LEWIS and fought him instead.
@Godzila370: Lewis was still an amateur back when Tyson became undisputed champ, BUT, he turned pro before Tyson went to prison, so Tyson was always available. But Lewis never DARED call out Tyson's name back then, because there was no way he could go near Mike. And defending the title 6 times is more than most.
Lewis went pro in 1989, Tyson was still around at that time. Lewis could have went for Tyson's HW crown, but pussy Lewis didn't dare. You need to get YOUR facts straight, dumb ass.
@atraining: Tyson is overrated? STFU stupid ass hater, Tyson was the youngest man to become HW champ. He united the division and successfully defended his title SIX TIMES. Prime Tyson with Rooney in his corner fought the best there was in his era, and beat them all, by way of brutal knockout. Where the fuck was Lewis when Tyson was undisputed champ? Hmm? Where the fuck was Lewis back then? Lewis didn't want no peice of Tyson back when Tyson was young and hungry, and that's a fact.
@49kdonggyu94 Agree that Tyson in prime is awesome. But to answer your question, when Tyson became Unified Champ, Lewis was an amateur, and by 1989-1990, he wasn't a high contender AND WAS IN NO POSITION TO FIGHT TYSON. He went pro in 1989, theirs no way he could have fought Tyson. Also, 6 times isn't a-lot.
I like Tyson, but use some logic. Lewis went pro in 1989.
@atraining: Yes Lewis is older than Tyson, but Lewis is a VERY well PROTECTED fighter who has never been in any wars. Get the fucking facts straight, LEWIS is the one who never fought anyone good. Lewis beat Holyfield when Holyfield was old and had a heart condition, beat Morrinson when Morrinson had STD's, beat Ruddock after Ruddock quit boxing, beat Botha when Botha was EXTREMELY overweight, and beat Tyson when Tyson was completely washed-up. FACT: Lewis is a ducker/ coward/ pussy.
@atraining: Tyson was open to fighting anybody back when he was in his 20's, he never ducked anybody. But Holyfield and Lewis both were too pussy to fight him back then. And then Mike went to prison for 3 years, while doing nothing but eating. And then when he comes out, he barely had time to train, and got the shit headbutted out of him by Evander Steroid Cheaterfield. Tyson before going to prison would have killed Holyfield, and Holyfield knows it.
@49kdonggyu94 That may be true about Lewis...BUT....Let's not get crazy about Tyson beating the 'best' of his era....The 'old' Holyfield that Lewis beat would have beaten just about all those scrubs Tyson fought in the 80s....Berbick?? Tucker?? FRANK BRUNO?? an OLD Larry Holmes...and a YOUNG Holmes beats the crap out of Tyson...Spinks?? Tyson was fortunate cuz he was in his prime AFTER Holmes and before Holyfield...In the 80s Holyfield was mostly a CRUISERWEIGHT
@atraining: Fucking dullard, listen up. When Tyson was in his 20's and dominating the HW division, Lewis was still hiding in Britain beating up on some amateurs. Lewis didn't want no peice of Tyson back in the 80's. And now, after Tyson has spent 5 years in prison, has been abusing drugs for a decade, is old, fat, overweight, and HEAVILY sedated before the fight, Lewis finally gets the balls to challenge Tyson. 80's Tyson would KO Lewis's glass chin by way of MURDER.
valus vaadata kuidas selline,täielikus tipus olnud võitleja,nüüd julmalt sisse saab.Oleks Lewis võitlend Mikega varem oleks Lewis jõhkralt saanud aga ta kartis.

The last big fight that Tyson won was in 1988 when he knocked out Michael Spinks. After that, he stopped training properly.
Tyson said. "I hate the boxing game. That guy [I used to be] in 1985, 1986 - I don't know that guy any more. I don't have a connection with him any more". (c) MIKE TYSON

@shaboogiebk yeah waah waah. Mike Tyson got killed by Lennox, Holyfield twice and easy. He knocked out tomato cans his whole reign. Get ur jollies on the Marvis Frazier, Frank Bruno ko's. When he fought real good fighters, he lost and brutally. Over-rated beyond belief. Oh and for those who say Tyson was over the hill. Lennoz was older than him in this fight. I assume u Tyson kool-aiders know that :)
@i8thegoverment I know, but lots of guys went to Prison - including Sonny Liston or were away for a while like Ali and didn't lose their whole careers over it. Tyson was still a very young man when he got out. He should have been better.
LENNOX Lewis was reminded here last night of the harsh truth that he has waded to the top of the world through a pile of washed up drunks and junkies.
"Lionel Butler was on drugs, Oliver McCall was in and out of rehabilitation with drug and booze problems and Tommy Morrison went on drinking binges before the fight," said Steward.
Last week, Tyson, reportedly weighing more than 240 pounds, turned up in Las Vegas to train for his next fight, a Saturday, June16 match at Caesars Palace against Henry Tillman.
With frequent reports lately of serious partying by Tyson since his loss to James (Buster) Douglas in February
as he admitted after his loss to McBride: 'My career has been over since 1990. After I got out of jail, I beat guys because they were scared.'
Once Tyson was finished as an elite fighter, there was always someone willing to put up millions to get him in a ring. I hate the boxing game. That guy [I used to be] in 1985, 1986 - I don't know that guy any more.
Five weeks before his most recent bout, heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson told reporters that he takes Zoloft
the one-two combination of antidepressants and marijuana — even if ingestion is separated by weeks — could make even the toughest customer punchy or worse, doctors say.
LENNOX LEWIS = SPONGE CAKE CHIN WHO COULDN'T FIGHT....SO HE FOUGHT HAS-BEENS
even some McBride could beat him in his poor condition. however, Lewis was still so afraid so he never went streight to the real fight, only shooting from a long distance showing no heart. he won only technically, not historically. that's why he will never rank as big as Tyson in a boxing history, and not because he wasn't American. he should thank Mike for getting attention to himself once from the world.
i heard a rumour that there was an time where tyson handlers actually paid off lewis to avoid fighting him. whether this is true or not i don't know. but respect to tyson for carrying on though taking severe punishment.
MAN AFTER 15 MINUTES HOW CAN TYSON LOOK FATIGUED ALREADY.WAS HE COUNTING HIS MONEY BEFORE THE FIGHT EVEN HAPPENED?WHY DID HE LOOK AT THE CAMERA FOR US TO SAVE HIM GOING INTO THE 6TH ROUND.WHY DIDNT HE DO THE BRUCE LEE AND LOOK AT HIS OWN BLOOD AND GET ENRAGED AND COME OUT LIKE A BULL.INSTEAD HE WAS CRYING AND SCREAMING AS IF HE NEVER BEEN CUT.I NEVER HEARD A GREAT FIGHTER GIVE IN TO PAIN WHEN HIS CMAN IS FIXING HIM UP.I HATE LEWIS TOO CAUSE ALL HE DOES IS JAB RIGHT STRAIGHT THEN CLINCH N PUSH EM
@dewy9ukLENNOX LEWIS retired because he didn’t think MUHAMMAD ALI will fight him to prove his “greatness”! MR LEWIS was also an accomplished ACTOR and narrowly lost out to EDDIE MURPHY to star in the movie COMING TO AMERICA. To EXPERTS this was NOT A SURPRISE because the GLASS JAWED COWARD stayed in the UK fighting BUMS and as his RECORD clearly states, he only decided on COMING TO AMERICA exactly 3 MONTHS after MIKE TYSON was JAILED for 6 YEARS by JUDGE PATRICIA J GIFFORD in INDIANAPOLIS!
@E6DOG Holmes was not the same as before his 2 years retirement. and before that he even lost twice to spinks. What matters if you beat a great champions, is whether you fight them in their prime or not.
@E6DOG knockup100 is right....Tyson knocking out Holmes WASN'T impressive....When he beat Mercer, he was fighting regularly...When he fought Tyson, he hadn't fought in over TWO YEARS....Holmes IS one the all time greats
It doesn't matter what decade Tyson and Lewis fought he still would have gotten his ass kicked because he has the heart of a "chicken shit." Tyson was never a true champion because he lacked heart and that's why all the good figthers and even some of the "also rans" kicked his ass. Yeah his claim to fame is going to be that he was a racist, rapist, bully, and coward who quit eveytime the going got tough
31.03 - How is Tyson these days? How is his condition? Although nobody knows for sure, with the exception of Mike and his camp, which been saying that that Tyson is training hard and is in great condition. Recently Tyson has been spotted by the National Enquirer, partying with a hippie crowd in Maui,In the photos Tyson is seen smoking something, what appears to be marijuana, which was passed onto him by a bunch of kids.

I will send you the link if you doubt me
Kevin McBride finished this version of Mike Tyson quicker than Lennox did = Worthless
Lennox is famous for beating a washed up Tyson, a doubtful decision against an aging post-heart attack Holyfield, cutting Vitali and chickening out of a rematch despite promising one
Ray Mercer was PERFECTLY FINE after Holyfield got an easy U/D against him in 1995, but HE and the REST OF THE WORLD shook their heads in disgust at the ROBBERY in the Coward Lennox Lewis fight.
Lennox was a PUSSY who beat NOBODY but WASHED UP fighters and DRUG ADDICTS for VACANT (PAPER) titles, CHECK HIS BOXING RECORD which PROVES this beyond any doubt
LENNOX LEWIS retired because he didn’t think MUHAMMAD ALI will fight him to prove his “greatness”. The COWARD could get a READY JOB as a COMEDIAN! When he chose to HIDE from MIKE TYSON until he was SMOKING MARIJUANA and WASHED UP he was getting beaten to a PULP by a JOHN RUIZ ERA version of OLD MAN EVANDER HOLYFIELD who previously FAILED TO GET A BOXING LICENCE due to a HEART ATTACK!
@HermanTheNinja Of course he did.........HOMOSEXUAL MARSHMALLOW CHINNED COWARD Lennox Lewis only ever fought washed up figters and bums........HE HAS NO LEGACY.........Except for the FACT he is a COWARD.
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Reason tyson lost is because he didnt throw any combinations and never punished Lewis on the inside. Tyson got lazy even in his prime by not throwing enough to the body. He became a legend in his own mind thinking he can clobber every body with one massive hook to the head and end the night
Bias referee against Lewis and Tyson's ass still got Whooped.. All you Tyson fans jsut need to accept that he was too small to fight as a HW division. He'll look spectacular against some but Super big Skilled HW like lennox is the kiss of the death for Tyson. The physical disadvantages are too great
@raduz123 He never looked good against big HW's like Bonecrusher, Tucker, Tillis, and even a bum like Mitch Green. It was a reach issue for him since he smaller HW's like Dokes' and Berbick fit his style. Obviosly Buster and Lewis had the tools to pick him apart with his size disadvantage since he couldnt jab with them due to that. Holyfield just outskilled him, i think Evander to was surprised at how small he was and was the bigger guy for once in a HW fight
@raduz123 Im not saying he's not great. He is one of the greatest HW's in history with his unique quick aggressive style which was unseen by any other HW's but, the media made him out to be this invincible force making him into some kind of super hero. Any body that knew boxing back then saw that he had chinks to his armour and that it would be a matter of time before he got exposed. To me he was never a complete fighter, he never knew how to fight while going back or even infight correclty.
@Gyro911 YOu blind? Look how Tyson used to fight in his prime..and look how he is fighting in this fight..In this fight or holyfield fight he is not moving AT ALL.He's not hitting with heart no more. He lost his passion.
He began to love the fame&bitches&money more than the boxing he used to like.
And compare the way he trained for a fight in his prime,with the way he trained in these fights.
Mike tyson was the best heavyweight fighter in his prime. You got to be blind for not seeing that
@techseven Another Coulda woulda shoulda Tyson fan making every excuse in the book to come up with the placebo kryptonite reason for Tyson's losses (women, money, Motivation, Rooney, Cus Blah blah blah) yet this never affected past HW champs for some reason. As I said tyson could Bob, weave, with power, and quickness which set him apart from all others but, against certain guys he needed a strategy and never had one which caused him to lose. Reality Check, a 5'10 HW will eventually get exposed
@Gyro911 What are you talkin bout buddy? We watchin the same fight? Lewis came to box(or jab and hold hold hold hold and clinch). Tyson acts like his goal is to just stand there and take it. Show me one punch from tyson that was meant to hurt Lewis. Just ONE. Then watch his other fights where he's trying to destroy his opponent. Its literally like watching a different person here
31.03 - How is Tyson these days? How is his condition? Although nobody knows for sure, with the exception of Mike and his camp, which been saying that that Tyson is training hard and is in great condition. Recently Tyson has been spotted by the National Enquirer, partying with a hippie crowd in Maui,In the photos Tyson is seen smoking something, what appears to be marijuana, which was passed onto him by a bunch of kids.
@Gyro911After taking a few hits, Tyson laid on the ground and was laughing with a bunch of kids who gathered around him. Tyson looks out of shape and not even close to being ready to fight Lewis. If this is Tyson’s way of training than, he has got a big problem to face when June 8th comes, when he will fight Lewis.
HAHAHAHA EVERYONE KNOWS TYSON WAS A FAT MARIJUANA SMOKING MESS THAT TOOK ZOLOFT AND WAS A ZOMBIE
I think in general, the way to beat Tyson was to wait until after the 6th round to hurt him. Because if you hurt him before the 6th, it was like pissing off a wounded animal. But Tyson runs out of power quickly, and usually if a good boxer could survive 6 rounds he could go the distance or even have a shot at a win. But in this fight, Lewis was good enough to hurt Tyson early and still had the defense skills to disarm Tyson's backlash. That's a true champion.
Im massive lewis fan, but i do think tyson would of beat him in is prime. Because tyson was great at cutting inside of a jab and going to work. An lewis looks awkward when fighting on the inside.
But all this tyson could of been the best hevyweight of all time is crap. Tyson was a bully fighter and struggled against people who stood toe to toe with him and brawl. Most fighters was scared of a young tyson and would not trade with him. But any what tried had more success than the ones who didn
if the lennox in this fight boxed this way when tyson was in his prime tyson would still have lost. the learning curve changed and tyson wasnt part of it during his incarceration, tyson came back with the same gimmick and it just didnt cut it throughout as he tried to come back. in this match tyson is fighting an man who
pioneered clever boxing. this doesnt mean clever boxing isnt fighting because other people like wvladimir and haye are knocking people cleen out the same
@LALMCGatorsfan If he won it would only have been luck, Tyson was done by the 3rd round Lewis just wouldn't finish him till the 8th. Tyson couldn't keep throwing he was too tired.
With the execption of Michael Spinks, Mike Tyson never beat anyone worth anything and when he did actually fight the top guys (Evander Holyfield, Lennox lewis) he got crushed. He knocked out meatballs his whole career and people buy into it. Bullshit and underachieving career,
@aitraining Mike tyson was 19 years old knocking growing men on there asses. The youngest heavyweight champ of all time. In tyson's prime, Lewis or Holyfield would of fell in defeat. They fought Tyson when his skills were clearly finished.
@PDizzo He still never beat anyone great. Marvis Frazier, Bruce Seldon and a bucket full of tomatoes. That he would have beat Holyfield in his prime is speculation. Holyfield whipped his ass twice and I'm pretty sure he was older than Tyson dude. Look it up......

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward It's becoming obvious to me that you have some weird deep seeded sexual attraction to Lennox Lewis, that's probably why you devote 99% of your life watching his videos over and over and repeating your comments over and over. Or you're a lonely Virgin that's never seen a pussy in his life so he chooses to look at a 6'5 250lb black man all day.

Here are Lennox Lewis' most difficult opponents:
Ray Mercer - 1996 - Mercer was 35. So poor was his record, he hadn't won a fight for 3 yrs, a controversial SD against Jesse Ferguson in 1993. He was also outclassed by a 43 yo Larry Holmes in 1991. Mercer dominated and was clearly robbed. Naturally Mercer wanted a rematch offering to donate his all his $10m purse to Charity (Project Pride-Newark).Typically the Vulture Lennox Lewis refused!

He had 3 drug related arrests and was under house arrest / drug rehab since December 15th 1996. Coward Lennox Lewis decided it was now "safe" to face Oliver McCall who would surely have knocked him out easily again if he was not in the throes of drug addiction

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward McCall's own promoter Don King said McCall was ready for the fight, it was the WBC who set it up. Lewis was not responsible for whatever crap McCall was going through in his life nor whatever drugs McCall may or may not have been taking at the time. Lewis could only fight what they put in front of him. If McCall had been half the boxer or half the champion Lewis was then he would never have been in than state of mental breakdown in the first place

FIGHT REVIEW (REMEMBERING LEWIS-RAHMAN I)
It's the aftermath of a heavyweight shock and Simon Baker discuses the fall-out
But in terms of legacy, which is what Lewis now insists he is fighting for, would an Ali, a Holmes, a Tyson or even a Holyfield have ever been knocked out twice by single shots from top end journeymen no matter how ill prepared they were?
The answer is, of course, no.
JoeCalzagheTheCoward 4 weeks ago
@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Of course the defeats to Rahman and McCall are a knock to Lewis's legacy but they are not typical of his fights and do not outweight the rest of his career, particularly because Lewis fought them again and proved how superior he actually was to them.

By Richard Sandomir
Published: February 11, 1997
For seven weeks before Friday night's Oliver McCall-Lennox Lewis spectacle, HBO Sports had serious doubts about McCall's state of mental health.
McCall had previous drug and legal woes. He had been arrested Dec. 15 at a Nashville hotel for throwing a Christmas tree and spitting on a police officer.
McCall was dividing his days between training and drug rehabilitation.
"SUPERIOR"????

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Yes superior you tit. Rahman was made to look a total amatuer in his rematch with Lewis as was McCall. It wasn't Lewis's decision to fight McCall again, that was set up by the WBC, nor was Lewis responsible for the state of McCall when the fight occured, in fact it was Don King who insisted McCall was ready for the fight. McCall ruined his own life and career and proved he was never fit to lace Lewis' boots, the unprofessional drug addict that he was.

Lewis said. Today's Tyson is no longer the Tyson of legend after being beaten twice by Evander Holyfield. And after the second Holyfield bout - a low point in sports history - things really went downhill.
Lewis said. "I understand that he still has a lot of fans out there, but they're fans that look at him when Tyson was Tyson. The Tyson of today is a different man."

He hid in England until all the best HW fighters were past their primes, and that's undeniable.
In England, he got knocked out by his only live opponent (Oliver McCall), exposing a fragile decanter chin.
Against an overweight and completely shot Mike Tyson, it took Lennox 8 rounds to get the job done. Note that Tyson weighed 234 pounds here. Compare that to the 215 pounds he weighed when he brutalized Larry Holmes.

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward That "He hid in England" bit is just an outright lie. 22 of Lewis's 41 fights were held in America including the Tyson and Holyfield fights, Rahman and McCall 2, Mercer, Tua, Grant, Briggs, Morrison, Galota, Tucker and Klitchko.
In comparison only 5 of Tyson's 50 fights and 5 of Holyfield 44 fights were held outside the US, Bowe only ever had 1 fight outside the US, and of Foreman 76 fights only 8 were held out of the States.

Lewis was a regular feature in American Boxing from 1991 til he retired. He spent the majority of his career in the states and was around when Bowe and Holyfield were in their prime. If he "hid in England" then majority of his fights would have happened in England. Lewis had 18 fights in the UK and most of them occured before he became world champion. After 1992 he only had 3 fights in the UK

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward What you continue to ignore about Lewis's defeat to McCall is that Lewis is not the only heavyweight to slip up against lesser opposition - for example, Tyson in his prime was KOed by Buster Douglas who was just a journeyman before that and accomplished nothing after it - and Lewis wasn't even the finished article when he slipped up against McCall, and when he lost to Rahman he was complacent - filming a movie instead of training for the fight.

The night he lost to Buster Douglas, Mike Tyson probably wouldn't have beaten Herman Munster. He was soft both physically and mentally, and, for the one and only time in his professional fighting career, appeared vulnerable.
In the days and weeks before that 1990 fight in Tokyo, Tyson had been drinking heavily and carousing in Las Vegas.

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward My point was that even the best have off days and if you recognize the Douglas fight as a one off bad performance from Tyson in his prime then cannot treat the Rahman/McCall fights as typical of Lewis's work. That would be a case of double standard, of treating Lewis one way and Tyson another.

TUNICA, Miss. (AP) _ If this were the Mike Tyson of years ago, Emanuel Steward might be a little more worried.
Steward, who trains Lennox Lewis, thinks Tyson is just a shell of the fighter he once was.
"Everyone is holding onto that image of Mike Tyson from 10 to 12 years ago," Steward said. "That Mike Tyson is gone."

Defeated Tyson retires "My career has been over since 1990," ex-champion says
June 13, 2005|By Don Steinberg INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
"I may be bizarre sometimes, but I'm very rational. I'm not going to lie to myself," he said. "My career has been over since 1990."
His luster as a brand name for brutal knockouts outlasted his ability to back it up. He knew it.

Tyson's last fight
Thomas Hauser
The Observer, Sunday 4 December 2005
as he admitted after his loss to McBride: 'My career has been over since 1990. After I got out of jail, I beat guys because they were scared.'
Once Tyson was finished as an elite fighter, there was always someone willing to put up millions to get him in a ring. I hate the boxing game. That guy [I used to be] in 1985, 1986 - I don't know that guy any more.

Marijuana and antidepressants don't mix
By Mike Falcon, Spotlight Health
With medical adviser Stephen A. Shoop
Five weeks before his most recent bout, heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson told reporters that he takes Zoloft
the one-two combination of antidepressants and marijuana — even if ingestion is separated by weeks — could make even the toughest customer punchy or worse, doctors say.

even some McBride could beat him in his poor condition. however, Lewis was still so afraid so he never went streight to the real fight, only shooting from a long distance showing no heart. he won only technically, not historically. that's why he will never rank as big as Tyson in a boxing history, and not because he wasn't American. he should thank Mike for getting attention to himself once from the world.

@dewy9ukLENNOX LEWIS retired because he didn’t think MUHAMMAD ALI will fight him to prove his “greatness”! MR LEWIS was also an accomplished ACTOR and narrowly lost out to EDDIE MURPHY to star in the movie COMING TO AMERICA. To EXPERTS this was NOT A SURPRISE because the GLASS JAWED COWARD stayed in the UK fighting BUMS and as his RECORD clearly states, he only decided on COMING TO AMERICA exactly 3 MONTHS after MIKE TYSON was JAILED for 6 YEARS by JUDGE PATRICIA J GIFFORD in INDIANAPOLIS!

It doesn't matter what decade Tyson and Lewis fought he still would have gotten his ass kicked because he has the heart of a "chicken shit." Tyson was never a true champion because he lacked heart and that's why all the good figthers and even some of the "also rans" kicked his ass. Yeah his claim to fame is going to be that he was a racist, rapist, bully, and coward who quit eveytime the going got tough

@JoeCalzagheTheCoward Reason tyson lost is because he didnt throw any combinations and never punished Lewis on the inside. Tyson got lazy even in his prime by not throwing enough to the body.

Bias referee against Lewis and Tyson's ass still got Whooped.. All you Tyson fans jsut need to accept that he was too small to fight as a HW division. He'll look spectacular against some but Super big Skilled HW like lennox is the kiss of the death for Tyson. The physical disadvantages are too great

@Gyro911 Not at all, Tyson isn't the youngest heavy weight ever for no reason. He ha fought people as big as Lewis on many occasions.
raduz123 6 months ago
@raduz123 He never looked good against big HW's like Bonecrusher, Tucker, Tillis, and even a bum like Mitch Green. It was a reach issue for him since he smaller HW's like Dokes' and Berbick fit his style. Obviosly Buster and Lewis had the tools to pick him apart with his size disadvantage since he couldnt jab with them due to that. Holyfield just outskilled him, i think Evander to was surprised at how small he was and was the bigger guy for once in a HW fight
Gyro911 6 months ago
@Gyro911 His record and the fact that his name was the most feared and still amongst the most revered in boxing speaks for itself.
raduz123 6 months ago
@raduz123 Im not saying he's not great. He is one of the greatest HW's in history with his unique quick aggressive style which was unseen by any other HW's but, the media made him out to be this invincible force making him into some kind of super hero. Any body that knew boxing back then saw that he had chinks to his armour and that it would be a matter of time before he got exposed. To me he was never a complete fighter, he never knew how to fight while going back or even infight correclty.
Gyro911 6 months ago
@Gyro911 YOu blind? Look how Tyson used to fight in his prime..and look how he is fighting in this fight..In this fight or holyfield fight he is not moving AT ALL.He's not hitting with heart no more. He lost his passion.
He began to love the fame&bitches&money more than the boxing he used to like.
And compare the way he trained for a fight in his prime,with the way he trained in these fights.
Mike tyson was the best heavyweight fighter in his prime. You got to be blind for not seeing that

@techseven Another Coulda woulda shoulda Tyson fan making every excuse in the book to come up with the placebo kryptonite reason for Tyson's losses (women, money, Motivation, Rooney, Cus Blah blah blah) yet this never affected past HW champs for some reason. As I said tyson could Bob, weave, with power, and quickness which set him apart from all others but, against certain guys he needed a strategy and never had one which caused him to lose. Reality Check, a 5'10 HW will eventually get exposed

I think in general, the way to beat Tyson was to wait until after the 6th round to hurt him. Because if you hurt him before the 6th, it was like pissing off a wounded animal. But Tyson runs out of power quickly, and usually if a good boxer could survive 6 rounds he could go the distance or even have a shot at a win. But in this fight, Lewis was good enough to hurt Tyson early and still had the defense skills to disarm Tyson's backlash. That's a true champion.

Im massive lewis fan, but i do think tyson would of beat him in is prime. Because tyson was great at cutting inside of a jab and going to work. An lewis looks awkward when fighting on the inside.
But all this tyson could of been the best hevyweight of all time is crap. Tyson was a bully fighter and struggled against people who stood toe to toe with him and brawl. Most fighters was scared of a young tyson and would not trade with him. But any what tried had more success than the ones who didn
