Upcoming Heavyweight Fight

[Blane]

Tyson not only wants to kill Lewis he wants to "Eat his children" and "Have my bare fist touch his brain". Only a person with EXTREME anger can even think of something like that. I think before his life is over Tyson will definitely see the inside of a prison again. Either he's going to kill someone or be killed himself.

Lewis has said that Tyson has never fought a fighter as good as him...who is he trying to kid.
Tyson has fought and won the best there was.

I used to like Lewis before he became a bighead, now i can't stand the guy.

As for the fight, i want to see Tyson hurt Lewis for about 5 rounds before finally totally destroying him. Then maybe Lewis will come back to reality and realise he's not the god he thinks he is.

I agree Tyson is an animal but he deserves respect for what he once was.

hmmmm, that rapist thing got out of hand I think. That girl was at his place after midnight & claimed she only went up to have some coffee with Tyson LOL (I know tyson doesn't drink coffee & am sure people don't at that hour when on a date).
Personally I think the girl went up to have sex & when tyson was giving her some rough sex, she didn't like it. He got a bad rap on that one, but he has been known for other incidents, so perhaps in the end he got what he deserved.
But yes, I agree Lewis thinks he's all that, when he is just not. There have been many champions before & some have been when the rest of the competition have not been great. Great fighter that does not make. I think Lewis can be a lot better if he learned to move more, cause if someone his size comes around one day (6'5 with his reach & build & can move his feet) it's all over.
Technically Tyson should be a walkover for him (cause of size difference), but if Roy Jones Jr. ever got up to heavy-weight category, lights out =)

I don't believe Tyson raped her either. 3 in the morning and your in bed with Mike. What the hell do you think is going to happen. Plus her side of the story was that all she wanted from him after sex was for him to take her back to her hotel. Tyson had sex with her and then kicked her out and she got mad. Tyson once was a good fighter. When Cus D'mato was alive he was getting all the proper training and was a technical fighter. After his death Tyson just turned into a bully and a brawler, just trying to steamroll over everyone with brute stength and scare tactics. Then Holyfield showed the world that if you pushed Tyson back then he can be beat. And yes Lewis isn't that good of a fighter either. shadoe_phantom is right. He doesn't move enough and he doesn't use his size to his advantage. I would love to see Roy Jones Jr fight as a heavyweight. But I wonder how much the extra weight would slow him down.

Totally agree with you there Blane. Cus D'Mato was an excellent tactician (helped change boxing by changing the arm blocking with bones area in front *what arms would look like with upper-cut) & also the father figure of a once controlled Tyson.
It's no wonder Tyson turned like he is now ('cause Don King become his father figure after lol *oh my!).

Biggest problem with Heavyweight division at the moment is there aint any real champions like in the past Ali,Frazier,Foreman(when young)etc.So todays fighters call themselves champs although most of the competition are just journeymen.Also in this age of hype and media rule money talks.

Well, Tonight's the night. Anyone have any bets on the fight?

Very true joripe. There has been alot of shady things going on in boxing. I remember the good old days when if you wanted the be the champ, you had to knockout the champ and nothing less would get you the title.
