Tyson vs Lewis poll

naturaltan · 06-04-2002, 12:11 PM

Tyson was good ... and his main weapon was intimidation. But after Buster dusted him, he lost that.

Without the intimidation, any heavyweight who can box can beat Tyson. Most in his young career were beat even before the got in the ring. Ding would go the bell and they would immediately take one shot and start holding and grabbing. Once you get to that point, he was yours.

Lewis can box ... but he's a very lazy and unpredicatable boxer. If the 'boxer' shows up, he'll beat Tyson. If the lazy Lewis shows up, it will be a toss up because he tends to grab adn hold a lot - which is right where you don't want to be.

Kuso...it's for research !

everything is open 24/7/365 here. what else am I supposed to do while waiting for my gf to get off work ?

Solid_Steel · 06-05-2002, 12:00 AM

I hate Lewis , Tyson's a nut case and it would be kinda nice to see someone kick his ass , but i think he'll take out Lewis cause he's got a weak chin. Just wait till the fight on Saturday mark my word on this. Tyson will come out swinging and Lewis will go down. I say 5-6 rounds max.

Actually my gf is a showgirl at one of the casinos so I usually meet her some nights when she gets off work and there is one close by that I go to sometimes. There are a lot of psycho stalkers in Vegas. My roommate’s gf has 2 stalking her right now it's crazy! I wonder if they alternate nights?

TriZZle305 · 06-05-2002, 04:18 PM

I hate lewis too... however lewis is a great fighter... tyson has lack of exeperience fighting top notch fighters.. the only real top notch fighter tyson has fought is holyfield and he bit his ear off. lewis has to fight a different fight than he is used to to beat tyson and most likely lewis is in much better shape than tyson regardless of tyson's vigorous training he must be undergoing.. tyson.. is an animal and this is his main weapon.. if it comes down to a descision lewis will win but I believe tyson is more than capable of knocking lewis out.. especially if lewis walks in like the cocky bastard he is .. i voted draw because its hard to say . i wouldnt mind if it ended up like the end of rocky(the first one) where they both knock each other out

NICK · 06-05-2002, 05:06 PM

lewis all the way. don't like him but he knows what he is doing

Solid_Steel · 06-06-2002, 01:16 AM

Lewis will be overwhelmed by Tyson's power just wait and see. His British ass is going down!!

SpecialK · 06-06-2002, 12:13 PM

I don't care who wins, I just want to see the fight...Hooters said that they won't be showing the match...everyone else is too cheap to get Pay Per View...I guess I'll just have to look somewhere else now.

**Prince** · 06-07-2002, 03:23 PM

Lucky for me I get Pay-Per-View FREE 24/7.

KOnakinsky · 06-08-2002, 12:19 AM

hmmm.........Tyson is an SOB but is still a bad ass. Although I do hope Lennox beats the crap out of him.

realdeal · 06-08-2002, 11:17 PM

Tyson looked like SHIT!!

Eventhough i picked tyson i give all the praise to Lewis who faught his kind of fight.

I hope there is a rematch in the NEAR future.

Vvitto · 06-08-2002, 11:21 PM

The match just ended 5 min ago and as I was expected Lewis proved to be the best in the world. I was right when I said that Tyson will kiss the canvass! To all those pro-Tysson there you have it!

As I said Lewis is the man. Justice has been done.

The misfit was oupunched,outjabed for the entire 8 rounds
Last round:Round 8
In the seventh round, Lewis landed 31 punches to four for Tyson. Now he comes out in the eighth and jabs some more. Tyson lands a right to the body and Lewis begins circling him.

Lewis lands a right and then left uppercut. Tyson's knees buckle and Cotton rules it a knockdown. Lewis goes after him, landing a right with 1:18 left. Lewis batters Tyson with lefts and rights. Tyson throws a wild right, but he has nothing left. Lewis' right hand crumples Tyson on canvas. He's on his back and tries get up at eight. Fight is stopped with Lewis the winner.

mmafiter · 06-08-2002, 11:58 PM

Lewis made Tyson his bitch!

That was an awesome display by Lewis and I'm glad Tyson got his ass handed to him.

Although I give Tyson credit for finally acting like a man and giving Lewis credit at the end.

bigss75 · 06-09-2002, 12:10 AM

That match reminded Tyson of jail because he was lewis's bitch. Boy Lewis stuck Tyson good. I wanted to see a good match those undercards where more exiciting than the main. I kept on waiting for Tyson to just break out but he never did

LAM · 06-09-2002, 12:11 AM

Tyson is done a prize fighter. He no longer has the menatal capacity to be in the ring. crazy doesn't cut it in pro boxing.

Go Lewis !

**Prince** · 06-09-2002, 12:40 AM

Glad I did not have to pay for that fight because it sucked!

Tyson is over, thru, done, finished and washed up. Whatever Tyson had is gone, he will never recover. There should be no rematch I see no point in it.

nikegurl · 06-09-2002, 01:09 AM

want to laugh? house full of people. boxes of pizza piled high and always 5 people in the kitchen getting beer. you get the idea. in the middle of the pizza free for all - i'm making my turkey burger (sticking to the diet i tell ya!)

i sit down with it and 2 guys with mouths stuffed say "your burger smells good. can we have some?"

Hell no you can't have any of my 4 oz meat! Stick with your 6 slices and 5 beers and leave me and my turkey and veggies alone.

Robboe · 06-09-2002, 09:56 AM

Whoever says tyson was gonna win must feel a bit dumb right now...Prince, 5abi, realdeal etc...

john992 · 06-09-2002, 09:57 AM

Lennox Lewis Proves once again he is the best boxer in the heavy weight division! Technically he is unbeatable and he just proved that he can beat the best of the brawlers as well. Kudos to Kitchener, Ontario, Canada raised Lennox Lewis!

Tyson in his PRIME IS better hands down.

Lewis is still the most boringest Heavyweight champion in the world. GOOD FOR HIM.

Solid_Steel · 06-09-2002, 12:37 PM

That fight was horrible , Tyson just wasn't there. I never thought he'd get his ass handed to him like that. I got to take my hat off to Lewis who fight great. I'm surprised Tyson even lasted that long he was taking powerful uppercuts and crosses the whole fight. Tyson just isn't the same though.

Showdown · 06-09-2002, 12:43 PM

I thought it was a great fight. You saw Tyson come out in the first round looking extremely hungry; dancing around and weaving, where Lewis was sluggish and almost 'not there' mentally.

Then, as the fight progressed, you slowly saw a complete switch between the two athletes: Tyson in the corner, not looking at the ring, not looking at his trainers... and Lewis just glaring at Tyson, psyching himself up. I thought that Lewis really proved he's the rightful HW champ, and Tyson proved that he doesn't have the passion to box anymore. Just like everyone expected, without the circus bullshit that normally encompasses a Tyson fight.

LAM · 06-09-2002, 12:51 PM

Tyson hasn't "boxed" since Buster dropped his ass in 1990. He no longer jabs or throws combinations, he is washed up !

99% of the boxers who have fought Tyson in the past decade had lost the fight before they had even stepped into the ring.

Foreman would have cleaned his clock as well...

**dg806** · 06-09-2002, 07:13 PM

Didn't see the fight....was watching the hockey game....But Tyson is such a chump!! They should not let him fight anymore! He even admitted he could not beat Lewis!! Lewis did say that he was suprised Tyson took some of his punches(said he felt them through his fist!!( he has a hard head!)

**Prince** · 07-17-2002, 05:03 PM

You cannot put a brawler and a boxer in the ring together, or you will get a very lame fight, which is what that was.

Tyson was nothing more than a always a gate keeper in his prime, he never beat a great fighter in his life.

BoneCrusher · 05-26-2006, 02:06 PM

You must be bored draggin up this old thread ... but I do agree with ya. Add that Lewis trained with Tyson as a kid but Gus sent Lewis back to England for being more than Tyson could handle as a training partner. Google that ... true story.
