I do sympathise with tysons demise though. losing cus was the real killer blow, as he had no parents or home, nor education. then he was robbed by don king and then the gold diggers took him to the cleaners. he was greedy and out of control at many times and prison probably did him a favor. but he was never the same afterwards

Your as pathetic as you hero Lennox"The Coward"Lewis. Then fact that Fat out of shape Prison Tyson Buckled Lewis tell me all I need to know what would happen if he ever thought Prime Tyson KO5 and no later

FACEPALM

Firing Rooney and replacing him with yes men started the Tyson downfall going to prison made sure it never rose again

What makes me laugh though is with all this in mind if not for Buster being allowed a 15 count Tyson would still have won and even in Evander 1 Tyson had the Granite chin doing the chicken dance when he was not even at 20% of prime iron

silence uneducated fanboy
I and other posters here show balance you just show delusion and abuse. such a coward

I'm out of here please watch some 85-90 Tyson in time for my return please

I show Knowledge Knowledge and more knowledge

The fact that you support a man who literally ran away from a rematch after promising Vitali one tell me all I need to know about yourself

A lewis fan calling someone a coward



PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lennox was the heavyweight champ of the world, not cowardly punk lol

As a boxing fan yourself you know full well that the heavyweights arent the greatest showcase for the sport as one punch often finishes the match. So saying Tyson hurt this fighter or that fighter means nothing. Of course he hurt them, he was one of the most devastating punchers ever.

I agree factors outside the ring contributed to his demise. As well as firing his coach the whole Robin Givens affair was a huge factor but we cant talk about that stuff when its man against man in the ring. Tyson legacy will be more about these fights then the one and two round victories from his early career.

Nonesense and tell's me a lot about when you started watching boxing as Heavyweight boxing up until early 2000's latest was still the showcase of boxing

Fair enough with the rest

“Lennox Lewis inside the ring promised to give me a rematch, and in the next fight I had a very impressive knockout. Lennox thought about it, discussed with his family and decided to announce his retirement.

George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.


Now go and run off like your Hero Lewis before I embarrass your further

The heavyweights are the most important division cuz they raise the most money but are you seriously saying that most of the best fights in the sport are between the big guys cuz I'd totally disagree with that.

The most memorable fights in history are without question those that have taken place in the heavy division bar a few Ie: Leornard - Hearns/Duran

I personally prefer the lower weights as it is more my sort of style lots dancing/weaving/faster etc but each to there own

youre embarassing yourself fanboy...everyone on the site thinks youre an idiot
lewis beat klitchko , end of, even at the grand old age of 38 with vitali in his prime
he doesnt have to give rematches to everyone he fights, besides he chose to retire wisely at 38 and stayed retired with his wealth and health intact
he also won every rematch he ever fought. he was no coward he was awesome, any many who calls him a coward is a coward himself

Totally disagree. If you look at Ring magazine fight of the year over the pas few decades, very few have been from the heavyweight division.

Time to get saving lads

THE TRUTH

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and almost got KO'd, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102


Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a bitch.

All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement

His OWN COACH said he was disgusted with Lewis and that he was ducking Vitali PMSL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

COWARD COWARD COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vladimer23 great poster

That is the truth my friend no matter how you try to twist it

He told Vitali he would get a rematch then went back on his word and RAN for the hills then had the nerve 10 years later to call the Klits out **** outta here you coward

the bit your forgetting conveniently is lewis stopped him and won the fight lol
lewis landed all the massive punches, he sliced klitschkos face wide open and threw one of th ebest upper cuts ever seen

klitschko is a quality fighter, often a bit boring but still top class

lennox was right to fight him , he won fair and square and was right to then retire aged 38 and never come back. lewis beat everyone he ever fought.
he won worldwide respect and goes down as an all time great

thankfully lennox retired too with his health in tact and ignored the mindless drivel of fanboys like you demanding he keep coming back
good on you lennox you all time legend

add me he is a legend

Add me absolute legend

You also forget that was also an overweight way past his prime Lewis at that point.

He'll be in trouble again in no time. BB is trying to salvage him because he's the only minor celebrity they have.
