Supplementary to that, in sparring, if you take it in context, Mike one the first 4 rounds, lewis drew with him in the middle four and Lewis really beat him in the final four...
With neither guy hitting the canvas...

So make what you want from that ;D

....I take from that that lennox never got beat by decision....neither did Tyson but anytime it was close Mike quit....which further supports my theory that Tyson beats no top ten all time great heavyweight

Tyson could have a strong chance of KO Louis, Dempsey, Frasier, Foreman, Lewis early. Never any sign of quit in Tyson at his best.

Thats because no one challenged him, In fact Tony Tucker could of beat Tyson had he not broke his right hand after 4th round. He was clearly winning the fight up until that point.

The same Holmes who had few weeks to train, was ill coming into the fight, plus being almost 2 years ring rusty.

Yea and do not forget he was not to young at 38 i mean i do not care how you see it 38 is old for a heavyweight my friend.

....and let's not forget the PRIME Lennox Lewis was the one who whipped Tyson's ass in Memphis....the 250 pound 6'5 mamoth of a boxer.

He was calm, collected, he could handle any offense and had huge punching power....he dealt with Tua with ease

Tyson beat Holmes with ease even if Holmes had few weeks to train, was ill coming into the fight, plus being almost 2 years ring rusty and was 38 years old. The same Tyson would have beaten PRIME Lennox Lewis 250 pound 6'5 mamoth of a boxer.

....he would have had a better shot but I don't think so....Lewis would have handled him the way he handled Tua

Yea because all them things don't matter to Tyson fans ::**

Even though Tyson fans always have petty excuses, to why there hero lost thats what makes me laugh.

Be fair Lopez.

What do you expect Tyson to do go into Holmes dressing room and give him a cuddle and say that everything will be alright and I will not hurt you too much. He KTFO Homes.

Tucker was not even in the contest he landed one good punch and for his size, youth and being undefeated he still gave Tyson little trouble.

No but they are legit reason's why Holmes wasn't nowhere near his peak but you just *Oh Well He Still KTFO Holmes* but if i would say that about Holyfield vs Tyson you or any other Tyson fan would be the first to say *How Tyson Was Past His Prime* even though Holyfield was older and looked like shot fighter in fights with Moorer 1, Bowe 3.

Tucker was winning the fight by 1 point after 4 rounds i believe, then he broke his right hand and he went into defensive shell not throwing punches.

Tucker lost the fight and no one wanted to see a rematch because there was no controversy with the right hand. Tyson took care of business with Holmes. At his peak, which was short, he was a force, do not try to portray it otherwise.

When did i say there should have been rematch between Tucker and Tyson ?? i said he broke his hand after 4th round and he went into defensive shell after that. But i didn't say there should have been rematch did i ??

At his peak, which was short, he was a force, do not try to portray it otherwise.

I love Tyson fans who take things the wrong way, and take things out of context. I was just saying Holmes was well past his prime, and was almost 2 years ring rusty, plus he only had few weeks to train. Where did i say that Tyson was not good in his prime ??

.....Mike Tyson was Floyd Patterson with a Sonny Liston attitude and he lost all of his fights like Sonny lost vs Ali....he quit

I think Tyson took his beating like a man in the 1st Holyfield fight and the Lewis and Douglas fights

Against Mcbride , Williams , Holyfield 2 he just threw in the towel mentally .
