Upcoming Heavyweight Fight

[Blane]

Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis

[gunscocodrilo]

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

[Seraphim]

I know that Luis will win even if I don't want it

If Tyson can catch Lewis in the early rounds, he'll drop him easily. If the fight goes more than 5 rounds, you gotta back Lewis

Agree with gunscocodrilo - Tyson should be locked up - he's a complete psycho (although I wouldn't tell him that face to face)

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.

The whole Uk is behind Lewis, unless he loses.
If he does then he will be a bl**dy useless canadian!

This is what we call the "Greg Rudeski" syndrome!

No offense meant to any Canadians!

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.

can you believe a man as big and brawny as tyson with a voice like that?

Should not be allowed in a Bull ring never mind a boxing ring & I hope for the good of a sport (that is going to the dogs) Lewis whups him good & proper!!!!

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.

There has even been talk of Tyson pulling all these stunts as a way to increase his value in the media. lol. He can't possibly be that smart or media savvy. I personally thought that after biting Holyfield he should have been banned from boxing for life.

[shadoe_phantom]

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.

[Blane]

Don King is just a whole other story. But I don't knock him though. If he can get all these fighters to sign on the dotted line for all the crap he gives them, then who's really at fault. He'll stage bouts where both the fighters belong to him and he just collects the profits.

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.

We all know the only reason this fight is even happening is because of money. Here is a picture of the real Don King.

It's all in the money
