    Also, Mike Tyson wipes his ing ass with Rid Bowe. That's a joke. You talk about Tyson beating no one of note. Who the did Bowe beat? Holyfield... by decision? He then lost to him the very next time out, by the way. Tyson destroyed people. The loss to Buster Douglas was a fluke. He was fighting overseas, didn't train and was severely jetlagged for the fight. Tyson also knocked his ass out if you ask me. Fight was probably fixed, who knows. Either that or the referee has head trauma and doesn't know how to count properly. Then, of course he was convicted of rape so we'll never know how he would have actually fared against people you would consider to be better fighters. His career was over the minute he went to prison.

    or maybe it had something to do with the fact that he got worked by Tyrell Biggs and didn't medal. Mike turned pro in 85 true and had about 14 or 15 fights in one year blowing out no-names, cab drivers and guys coming from the local ho e. Yeah, really run from that.


    I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't know about boxing. Mike was never in the 84 Olympix. Dude lost to gold medalist Henry Tillman in the Oly trials. I actually think Mike won.


    Dude had already stated he wanted that gold medal and going pro means no gold. That was a personal goal of his. If he had gotten it in '84, he more than likely would have gone pro. And no one told Mike to up his life. Mike still would have been a prime Tyson in 1992-1994 but oh yeah, that fool was in prison. Can't blame Lewis for that.


    Actually, Lennox took a back seat so that Tyson could fight Holyfield after promising Lewis that he would fight him after the Bruce Seldon fight. Actually, Tyson was ducking Lewis if you want to get technical. "I'll fight the guy with the bad heart, who was healed by Benny Hinn instead. Here Lennox, take this money and I promise I'll fight you after I beat him."



    Lennox became a paper champion. How? Well, we all remember Rid Bowe dropping the WBC belt in the trash because the mandatory challenger was Lennox Lewis after he smoked Razor Ruddock, a person Mike struggled with twice. They ducked Lewis. The best heavyweight at that time didn't wanna fight Lewis. He fought the older Klitschko in a fight I thought Vitali would have won if weren't for that brutal cut.

    He was robbed by Holyfield once with a draw and then beat him again. The same washed up dude that kicked Mike's ass once and was working him in the second fight before he went cannibal.

    At the end of the day, Lennox's resume is a uva lot better than Mike's. Every fight Mike had with someone of name who wasn't washed up, he lost.


    See that shows how much you really know. Kinda hard to dodge someone when they're locked up. And yes Mike did fight whomever he wanted to. In his "biggest" fights, he lost. Any way you dress that, you can't swing it. Whenever he fought someone of name, who wasn't damn near retired (Holmes and Spinks), what was the outcome?
    there's so much fail in this I don't even know where to start..so he fought at the Jr's a coupla years earlier...it doesn't change the fact that Tyson lost to Henry Tillman twice as an amateur and then beat the out of him as a pro...whereas Lennox lost to Tillman in the Olympics and decided to sit out..save this about he sat out of the game for 5 years because he wanted gold...that's a dam cop out...that didn't mean nothing to them s back then...Lennox didn't want to see Iron Mike. Believe that...

    now this you said is funny right here:

    Actually, Lennox took a back seat so that Tyson could fight Holyfield after promising Lewis that he would fight him after the Bruce Seldon fight.
    Lennox took a back seat my ass ..that don't make sense homie... you want to fight or don't you...he didn't step aside he was still scared to fight Mike right out of prison because he didn't know what to expect...sure Mike fought a few scrubs right out of prison to shake the rust but it wasn't enough to get Lennox to beleive he could beat Mike...so he says ok..I'll let Evander fight Mike...Tyson was going through all sorts of legal troubles after he got out of prison and like I said he wasn't focused at all on boxing but he still fought. Now once Lennox was sure Mike was no longer a real threat after seeing his career plunge in the wake of the Holyfield fights then like I said he saw his opportunity to finally step to a mentally weak and defeated Mike for a fight...you thinking that he just voluntarily stepped aside so Holyfield could fight Mike is laughable...

    Your problem is that you look at boxing with a wrong lens on...I can make the same arguement you make about Lennox, Klitcsho, Rud ....they got to the top of the challenger list by fighting NO ONE. So if you're fighting whomever is out there and beating them then you're the champ. I have more respect for Evander than I'll ever have for Lennox because Evander stepped up to Mike and didn't run from him like Lennox...Lennox ran from 85-90 and he ran again after Mike got out of prison...He waited and waited until he saw that he could physically dominate Mike...Lennnox is a coward no matter how you slice and real s I know don't respect him..Never will...yep...and that's real talk

    Now that ISH is funny. I like that pained look on kobe's face like he taking it, instead of giving it.

    Kobe is one of my all-time faves, but even I can appreciate an original or new "dig" at him. Much better than just re-hasing the old photoshoot white outfits ...

    rid bowe was a big pussy for not fighting lennox lewis when both were in their primes - hence the dropping of the wbc belt in the trash


    Tyson destroyed people.
    who did he destroy. Once again, everyone he fought of name, he lost to. Cant defend that period



    The loss to Buster Douglas was a fluke.
    dude didnt train and should have beaten him easily


    He was fighting overseas and was severely jetlagged for the fight.
    and buster wasn't. I forgot. Douglass was on the moon fighting while Mike was overseas. And they were over in Japan long enough for jetlag to wear off. GTFO with that excuse. lol @ severe jetlag. Buster must have made it over there by boat



    Tyson also knocked his ass out if you ask me.
    If he "knocked him out", he wouldnt have pounded his glove on the canvas. usually a person who's KO'd is flat on his ass and incoherant. All Buster's motor skills were there. And in that entire round, Douglas kicked the out of him. Would have easily been a 10-9 for douglas instead of a 10-8 for Mike.




    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rt8LZ8FjGN8

    The knock is at the beginning of the clip. Buster pounds his glove on the canvas and made a slight move to get up early and stay down, used the entire count and got up at 9. If he was knocked out, he wouldnt have come back and kicked this outta mike again in the beginning of the next round. Dude regrouped.



    Fight was probably fixed, who knows.
    He just didn't train and got his ass kicked. Wasn't fixed. After this fight was the big Holyfield payday.


    Then, of course he was convicted of rape so we'll never know how he would have actually fared against people you would consider to be better fighters. His career was over the minute he went to prison.
    We already know how he would have fared. He would have got smoked. Why? No Kevin Rooney (condom on his eye in his corner). No lateral movement. Turned into a one punch fighter.

    Lennox Lewis will get his shot at Mike Tyson. Or so it seems.

    The heavyweight fighters reached an out-of-court settlement Thursday whereby Tyson will face WBA champion Bruce Seldon as planned on July 13 and Lewis will get his opportunity to fight for the WBC le, promoter Don King announced.

    And, to complicate things, it looks as if Rid Bowe is in the picture.

    It breaks down like this:

    Lewis, who filed a lawsuit because he believes he, not Tyson, was next in line to fight Frank Bruno for the WBC le, will receive $4 million in damages. Tyson knocked out Bruno in March. Was paid to take a back seat - what you thought was funny.

    When Tyson faces Seldon, Tyson's WBC le will not be on the line, which means he remains champion win or lose.

    Lewis has the option of an interim fight. If he exercises that option and wins, Tyson retains the le (assuming he beats Seldon) until after the interim fight but must agree by Sept. 1 to defend against Lewis or vacate the le. If Mike beats Seldon, he must fight Lewis next, which he didn't. If they both win their fights, they're "supposed" to face one another. Just like you stated. You're gonna fight or not and Mike chose to, shall we say, NOT and gave up the WBC le.

    If Lewis takes an interim fight and loses, he loses his right to face Tyson.

    The interim opponent? Possibly Bowe in another huge-money matchup in September. The New York Times is reporting it's a done deal. Bowe fights Andrew Golota on July 11 at Madison Square Garden.

    If Lewis doesn't take an interim fight, Tyson must face Lewis immediately or vacate the le.

    On Monday, the New Jersey Supreme Court blocked Tyson's bid to fight Seldon, keeping in place a temporary restraining order that required Tyson to fight Lewis or relinquish his WBC le. Mike wanted to fight Seldon instead of Lewis. Lewis had to take the to court in order to get him in the ring. And he got rid of the belt instead.

    Tyson and King had sought to overturn an appellate court's ruling that forbade them from appealing Superior Court Judge Amos Saunders' decision regarding Tyson and Lewis. They fought to overturn the decision of the courts instead of getting in the ring and facing Lewis. The appellate court also refused to lift Saunders' restraining order, pending the appeal.

    King has been saying that Tyson would rather drop his le than agree to Lewis' demand for more than the $10 million purse being offered. Lewis was seeking $15 million.

    Lewis, who defeated Bruno in defense of the WBC le in October 1993, lost it to Oliver McCall in September 1994. McCall then lost to Bruno in September 1995.

    Lewis maintained he should have been first in line for the championship after he defeated Lionel Butler in the WBC-ordered elimination bout last May.

    But the WBC maintained Tyson was the mandatory challenger, because he had been the top contender before he was convicted of rape. Translation: Jose Saluman and Don King are in bed together.


    So let's get this straight using the ghetto version. Tyson gets outta the join and is automatically made the number on contender. Lewis blocks it and says he hasn't fought in three years. How is that? Mike gets le shot against Frank Bruno for the WBC le. Wins belt. Lewis is next in line. Pays him off so that he can fight Seldon with a date to fight Lewis in the fall. Beats Seldon. Give up the belt and turns down a 40-50 million dollar pay day. And it's all do ented with more to come.

    Also Showtime (Tyson) and HBO (Lewis) played a apart in them not fighting. Showtime offered Lewis 10 million. Lewis wanted 15 million. Now imagine the true purse after ticket sales and PPV. Mike would have cleared 30 - 45 easily. This was after the Ray Mercer fight ........

    http://www.thefreelibrary.com/TYSON%27S+LAUGHING!%3b+It%27s+a+night+on+the+boos+ %20for+Lennox.-a061162075

    Dark shades mask the battered eyes of Lennox Lewis as he exits New York City. His left fist is swollen and throbbing.

    Worse, fresh doubt creeps into his mind after a bad night at Madison Square Garden.


    If Lennox was dragged to the wire by 35-year-old Ray Mercer, is there a prayer against Mike Tyson?

    Even Lennox's financial backer Tanos Eliades confesses: "Tyson will come running now, fancying his chances. The fight has never been closer."

    New York judges gave the 10-rounder in the early hours of yesterday morning to Lewis on a two-one split.

    But 16,000 punters voted for ex-Sergeant Mercer of the US Army by a landslide. They booed the decision, chanting "fix" and 'bulls**t' as relief beamed from the Lewis corner.

    The crowd have experts on their side. Rid 'Big Daddy' Bowe claims: "It was Mercer by two. If I landed clean shots on Lewis the way Mercer did, he'd be put to sleep fast."

    Floyd Patterson - now a New York boxing commissioner - diplomatically declines judgment but damns Lennox with the words: "I have seen him look sharper. Maybe he just had an off-night."

    Mercer himself protests with dignity: "I don't know what the judges were watching. I honestly believe I won that fight.

    "Lewis hit me hard, but I was never distressed."

    Lewis and Mercer battled in the same, small ring that housed the Joe Frazier-Muhammad Ali epic 25 years ago. The warriors of '96 did nothing to match the memory.

    The meagre 20sq ft affected Lennox most. There was no room to dance away from the three-inch shorter, beer-barrel lookalike from Jacksonville, Florida.

    Yet I go with the judges. Lennox scraped it by a point as trainer Emmanuel Steward warned in the closing rounds: "Step it up, let the punches go, there's no sense taking them home."

    In a desperately close finish, the big man finally got his jab going and was the only man scoring consistently. Shading the last three was critical on my card.

    Mercer came with a new nickname - Merciless. And he pursued the Brit relentlessly, seemingly oblivious to pain. Lewis, displaying his damaged hand hours later, reveals: "I hit him with so many great shots but he just kept coming. The man has an incredible chin."

    It was clear from the start that Lennox would not become the first fighter to stop Mercer. Indeed, in a panic-stricken sixth round, Lewis shipped seven unanswered right hooks to the head that raised the spectre of Oliver McCall.

    Tyson and world les looked a million miles away as the former WBC champion dug deep.

    Almost as alarming was Lennox's failure to fight three minutes of a round. Repeatedly he won the opening 60 seconds then dropped his work-rate.

    Lewis denies any lack of preparation but admits: "The court case against Tyson was distracting. I suppose I was only 80 per cent focused on Mercer." I doubt it but you gotta take a muthafukka to court just to get him in the ring with you? Don King and Mike wanted no part of Lewis in 1996.

    But Lewis insists he's shocked at the close call. "I thought I was comfortably ahead. I won the last round to make sure."

    He remains upbeat about Tyson. Oh yeah, he's dodging Mike "Mercer was great preparation," he says. "What sort of fights has Mike had since coming out of prison?"

    "I'm glad I was in a rough one. Americans now know I can go in with their toughest, most durable guy and still win."

    Trainer Steward agrees: "Lennox came through the brutal kind of fight that used to put British boxers on the floor. He gutted it out and won.

    "Tyson can't take punches like Mercer. He would have been knocked out in two rounds. And he'll surely go when they get together." but he's still dodging Mike

    Iron Mike didn't show up at the Garden and Don King was told he would not be welcome. Yet the pair probably slept easier than Team Lewis after this performance.

    A lasting memory is red dye on Lewis's shorts caused by prolonged contact with the ropes. Undoubtedly, Mercer came as a nasty shock.

    Only once, in the fourth, did Lennox threaten to blow away the veteran. A battery of hooks had Mercer hanging on.

    Even then, there was a harsh price to pay. When the frantic action ceased, Lewis's left eyebrow required urgent work.

    The result brings a scathing attack from Jay Larkin, senior vice-president of Showtime TV sport. He alleges Lennox has no genuine intention of facing Tyson.

    "It's totally untrue to suggest Tyson is afraid of Lewis," stresses Larkin, whose company has exclusive rights to Mike. Then why pay a dude four million to take a back seat and promise him you'll fight him and never do???

    "Lewis is welcome in a ring with Tyson on July 13 and we will pay him 10 million dollars - the biggest purse of his life.

    "Lewis and his people have refused. In their greed they have tied themselves to HBO TV and can't do business with anybody else. Translation: we'll give Lewis a lowball pussy ass offer instead of coming up with another five million to make sure the fight happens.

    "All their talk of shaming Tyson into fighting is bluff. Lewis is simply not available. Unless he gets three of the HBO contracts there is no possibility of him meeting Mike."

    Larkin reveals they are courting Evander Holyfield for July instead. So mike dodge Lewis after the Bruno fight. Paid Lewis four million and dodged him after the Seldon fight. Fought Holyfield and we know how that ended. And he insists the legal ban on Tyson boxing anybody but Lewis will be overturned.

    Says Larkin: "Sadly, Tyson is now trying to abandon the WBC belt to get on with his life. Lennox Lewis can pick it out of a trash can - again." Rid Bowe All Over Again

    Eliades confirms: "We have turned down Showtime's offer because we'd prefer to put on the fight ourselves. We can pay Tyson 45 million dollars.

    "It is not correct that we can't box for Showtime. If they up their bid to 15 million, they have got themselves a fight!"

    "The WBC was informed later that promoter Don King and Lewis representative Panos Eliades had reached an agreement for the Tyson vs Lewis fight. The fight was to be held in March, 1997, and would have paid Lewis $15-18 million (which included the step-aside fee for the Seldon and Holyfield fights).

    We were also informed that this agreement could not be finalized because the HBO network had an exclusive promotional deal with Lewis, and would not accept the fight unless Lewis was to fight Rid Bowe first, another fighter promoted exclusively by HBO, and fulfill other commitments. Translation: Showtime (Tyson) don't wanna fight (HBO) Lewis.

    "Consequently, the Tyson vs Seldon fight was held and the WBC was later informed by Tyson's attorneys that he would relinquish the WBC le, to our extreme disappointment and sadness. The WBC Board of Governors voted, very reluctantly, to vacate the heavyweight le. No one on the Board could accept or understand why Tyson's championship was lost on the desk of a judge rather than in the ring. The WBC will always profoundly suffer due to this decision, which we consider a miscarriage of justice and an insult to the sport of boxing.

    "It's very ironic that while Lewis sought an opportunity to fight Tyson, (but, but, but, but he's ducking him because he didn't know what Mike would be like once he got outta prison. ) and succeeded in forcing him to relinquish the le due a court's ruling, he apparently never had the ability to accept the fight because of his exclusive promotional agreement with HBO." Translation: Fight Lewis or give up the belt. Ya boy turned down an easy 45-50 million pay day especially if Lewis was gonna get 18 million and tucked his tail)

    Are you insane or what...listen all the bull you posted doesn't even begin to tell the true story...Mike sought to fight Lennox in Vegas where he was held up because of the Nevada boxing commission...He was actually lobbying for a bigger pay day...all of what you posted only underscores one thing..Lennox was scared to fight a prime Mike...he wasn't to fight a post prison Mike...in fact Mike went to prison again for almost a year in 99 I think it was...So from the time he got out in 94 to his fights with Evander..he didn't fight Lennox until 2002...again you have no explanation for 1985-89 except some bull ass story about Lennox wanting a gold medal and then after Mike gets out of Prison then this waits until 2002 to fight Mike after all his troubles...even if the article you post is accurate it still doesn't explain why didn't jump to fight Mike straight outta prison..he wasn't a prestigious enough draw for Mike..Holyfield was...Lennox came running for a fight when he did because he sensed Mike was rusty and guess what Mike was and everyone knew it......

    Lennox is a straight up real s know this...you can post all that bull all you want to it just shows me how disconnected from the reality of it all you really were / are.

    Along with being the most overrated fighter, not just in heavyweight history, but in boxing history, he's also the sport's biggest choker. He was a massive, massive favorite against Douglas and Holyfield, and in true "Iron Mike" fashion, ed up.

    you're my laker as well but you just said that Lennox didnt wanna fight Mike once he got outta prison. I give you all the do ented facts you need and that's still not good enough?

    As far as the gold medal, he stated he wanted that medal. Simple as that. He could have been chicken and didn't wanna fight Mike but he said he wanted that gold. You can slice it however you want. Mike didn't wanna fight this dude once he got out of the can. sure Mike was rusty and Lennox would have worked him. Why? No Rooney, No lateral movement. No jab. One punch thrower.

    Mike got out and wasn't ready to face Lewis as soon as he got out. That's suicidal for Mike. He got a few fights in and Lewis tried to fight him. You said there was no step aside money. I showed you there was. Some say King paid Lewis twice to step aside. For Seldon and Holyfield. Lewis tried to fight Mike; King and Mike ran. That's do ented by Don King himself. When you say Jose Sulaman, you say Don King. One in the same.

    I wouldn't go that far. I blame the King Givens duo. Once Rooney left after the Spinks fight, it was all downhill from there. Damn I wish I had put some money on that fight though.

    I wouldn't go that far. I blame the King Givens duo. Once Rooney left after the Spinks fight, it was all downhill from there. Damn I wish I had put some money on that fight though.

    definitely. A prime Mike should have been around 1989-90. That's why I really don't put too much into 1985-86. Jacobs and Rooney protected him, which they should have.

    Along with being the most overrated fighter, not just in heavyweight history, but in boxing history, he's also the sport's biggest choker. He was a massive, massive favorite against Douglas and Holyfield, and in true "Iron Mike" fashion, ed up.

    Guy's a bum.
    Prime Tyson s on anybody. People would step into the ring and have fear in their eyes and hearts; you can't say that about anyone else in boxing history.

    Buddy Baer had that kind of affect.

    all your quotes are null and void with that bull excuse of "He lost to Buster because he was fighting overseas " Where was Douglas fighting then?????


    I think this clip will show them fighting in two different places. Tyson overseas and Buster in America ..........

    Lennox was building his resume when prime Mike was killing in the 80's. Managers never allow their top contenders to fight other top contenders until they build a good resume and win a le or two. Mexicans make that mistake all the time by rushing their fighters into big fights nefore theyre ready. All things being equal, Mike barely cracks top 5 of his class. Too many excuses with the guy. The greats overcome adversity and continue to do dominate. Tyson was a coward at heart, and only fought because he was a bully, even he admitted this. Hes the most overrated in all of sports.

    You just simply cant be considered great if youve never beat anyone.
    The greats have quality wins on their resume ...... When you're best win is a victory over a Light Heavyweight, there's major issues buddy.
