Upcoming Heavyweight Fight
- Thread starter Blane
- Start date
I pick Lennox Lewis if he comes well prepared as he should.
I used to be a big fan of Tyson, but let’s face it, the man belongs in a mental institution

I think that this will be a great fight as long as Tyson doesn't go nuts. Both men have alot to prove. Tyson hasn't fought a legit heavyweight in some years and Lennox has to prove that he isn't afraid of Tyson and that Holyfield isn't the only one who can beat Tyson. This is one fight when both fighters will come prepared. But there is always the Tyson factor. If Lennox starts beating him early,then he'll do something crazy.

by all rights iron mike should win hands-down (nothing against lewis, he's great). but since tyson is now totally psycho and shouldn't be allowed to roam around freely, all bets are off. he no longer has the discipline necessary to beat a real professional like lewis. in the old days lewis would be lucky to see round two.
hard choice. Lewis has come a long way since being Tyson' punching bag (back in the day).
If Mike gets in close enough then it is his fight, but if Lewis is able to stand his ground & keep his jab up, then Mike is toast.
Street brawler vs sweet science boxer. Brawler will always win outside the ring, in the ring, the ref steps in.
Hopefully this will be a professional looking match with no flesh bitten off lol (although I don't find Lewis to be a great a fighter -- he is more like Shak-O'Neal, big but not too much skills *as watching some of his fights he doesn't move enough & panics a little when fighters get too close & start throwing at him *like the african did).

i don't know, poko, he just might enjoy that too much.pokopiko said:
can you believe a man as big and brawny as tyson with a voice like that?
don king has ruined professional boxing. it started over 20 years ago when he owned two of the three champs at the time and wouldn't allow a unification contest. he only cares about the sport because he can make gazillions of dollars from it.
yes totally agree Blane. Just 'cause someone can box doesn't give them the right to do it. Don King is a monoply who can give a lick about the true sport (what it used to be).
I think both Tyson & Don King should move to UFC or some other fighting tournament organizations where they can be themselves lol.

Don King and Mike Tyson are criminals and in my book anyone that is foolish to give them money to view the fight are just as bad. Americans are down right stupid to allow the Tyson / Lewis fight to occur on American soil. Nevada had it correct when they would not let Tyson fight in their state. The rest of the States should have scruples and ban Mr. Mike Tyson from ever fighting again. Mike Tyson and/or Don King are determents to the sport of Boxing and until they and their likes are banded from the sport Boxing will never receive the due respect that the hard working valid boxers deserve.
Senator John McCain (R-AZ) has a National Boxing Commission (Professional Boxing Amendments Act of 2002) bill in congress and Senator Byron Dorgan (D-ND) is co-sponsor. This type of legislation is what is needed to get the corrupt element out of the sport of Boxing. I urge Americans to support the actions of Senators John McCain and Byron Dorgan are taking to attempt to clean up the sport of Boxing. If anyone is interested I have provided a link to National Boxing Commission (Professional Boxing Amendments Act of 2002) bill.

Evander Holyfield / Hassim Rahman – Sounds like that was a real fight that deserves discussion much more than the Tyson / Lewis hype talk.

this is true. don king served every day of his 20 year sentence for murder at rahway state prison in new jersey. this prison is known for having a very large boxing program. they have even held professional fights there with inmates competing. i guess the prison system truly rehabilitated don king by teaching him a new trade. i understand that the boxing program has since been curtailed.Blane said:
ask anyone that went to prison
they will tell you they learned more in than they learned out! But i am going to pick Tyson!! He has more to prove! And no one ever mentioned Hollyfield headbutting Tyson! I am not saying that biting him was the answer just Hollyfield was just as dirty but didnt get caught(look at the bout this past Saturday with Rakman)! I for one will NOT miss this fight for the world! Cant wait!

I can predict this.... If Tyson wins..all of a sudden Nevada will grant him a boxing license!!!!!
Hell I would fight either (as long as I have the best doctors by my side), ofcourse I would throw myself down if I had to in the first 3 seconds lol (but the money is worth it lol).
Incidently I met Tyson in NY once (mutual friend), & he seemed ok there, though very much on his own. Don't think he has many friends (which is alright for the non-mentally challenged lol), but he is always tense & looking for a fight. When someone has no control of their anger like that, they can never control their re-actions. Thus the biting or whatever would be necessary.
I would watch to see what dirty tactics he would throw (keep having a vision of lewis going down & tyson kicking & jumping on him). Tsyon wants to kill Lewis, not out-box him (remember that).
