Thread: Did Tyson throw Lewis in the air?

When Tyson had that pre-fight with Lennox Lewis during the pre-fight conference I remember Tyson went across and threw a punch at the bodyguard. Lewis got a punch to Tyson's head and I remember he had a bruise afterwards. I also remember Lewis had a grey suit and I can remember Tyson charging in and I am sure I saw Lewis being flipped upside down because his legs were in the air. I can only guess that Tyson must have lifted him and threw him. Was that the case. I also remember that Lewis got $300,000 for Tyson biting his leg.

Yeah, tyson pioneered the double leg before it became popular in MMA.

When that happend people were telling me it was all staged as hype .They also reckon the brawl with Rahman was a set up . I dont think either were. Lewis IMO lost his cool .

True, lewis did throw the first punch. But tyson walked over to him and Lewis had to idea what to expect. He thought tyson was completely crazy. Tyson was talking all sorts of crazy/twisted trash talk before this fight. Wasnt this the "eat his children" one?

I dont think it was staged. I dont think most pre-fight scraps are staged. Maybe one guy has it in mind to create hype, but I dont think they talk about it and agree to it before hand.

With this one I think tyson knew he was past it and was intimidated by lewis so he got aggressive to cover it up. But I dont think he thought lewis would throw a punch at him!

Now im not joking here but if you look at the picture of Llewis being held upside down you can see a large wet patch in the crutch of his trousers, he wet himself, he got scared, he threw his best at Mike, Mike grabbed him turned him upside down and bit a chunk out his thigh.

Mike may have been past caring in the boxing ring but he still aint to be messed with out of it

Apparently there is the cctv footage of Mike in the Hotel reception when those blokes tried jumping him and its quite funny because Mike sparks them, cant find it myself though

Who knew you meant that Tyson gave that Lewis that kind of "lift" to his air...

I think it was Hype.  Or it wouldn't make any sense that Tyson wants to eat Lennoz's children when Lennox had no children at that time from what I know

It was Holyfield's children, not Lewis.

It was Lennox's children. I remember seeing him in an interview saying that he didn't even have any children.

I remember it vividly because it was pretty funny when Lewis repeated it in his own feminine sounding voice.

No it wasn't it was after the Lou fight where he said he wants to eat Lewis's heart and eat Lewis's children praise to be allah blah blah what makes that statement stupid from Tyson is that i don't think Lewis even had a kid then im glad Lewis whooped Tyson.



Im pretty sure it was Lewis he was on about.

okay. i can only remember that his fight with Holyfield was considered "Good vs Evil". I thought the reason was because Tyson threatened Holyfield to eat the latter's children.

It's amazing how Mike goes from calm to angry in a second. Maybe this was some kind of bipolar episode. Anyone know exactly what Mike's mental disease is?
