I have to thank Evander Holyfield!

[tysonesque]

I agree that he was a true champion, but Tyson was by no means in his prime when they fought.

Prime Tyson v prime Holyfield would have been a great fight though.

Prime Tyson is a great fight for any elite heavyweight in history. That being said, I feel like Evander is one of the worst style match ups for Mike. I feel like their first fight was great regardless, but prime vs prime would've been UNBELIEVABLE. Feel like Evander wins regardless though.

Last night he kept doing us favors by "knocking out" Mitt Romney in a charity event

It was pretty bad acting, but it beats him still stubbornly hanging on and being bashed up in the real ring.

Legend. Fact!

He must be thanked. Because while others were dodging and running from real fights, Lennox included, he made fights happen.

The only fight Lennox REALLY wanted was the Holyfield fight. But his attempts at Bowe and his earlier attempts with Tyson were half-hearted. At best.

No Foreman and no Moorer for Lewis either.

Foreman said he wanted no part of Lennox. Moorer would not survive 5 rounds with Lennox.

Ok you're entitled to your opinion like everyone else BUT let me tell you the facts
Lennox Lewis never ducked anyone. I was there when Lennox & a girl in a yellow chicken suit confronted Bowe with CHICKEN BOWE across the front. Bowe refuse to acknowledge them & walked away. Also I met Bowe & Rock Newman in Dallas I asked Newman why they renaged on the Lewis deal. His reply was " Why risk everything against Lewis when we can sell Dokes & Ferguson with very little risk"? Who wasn't interested I wonder.?
Same was Tyson, King paid Lennox $4 mil to step aside with the promise he'd get next shot. The rest is history
When asked about Lennox it was GEORGE said NO!!!! How serious George was but he claimed that night that Lennox was a better fighter than ALI
As for Evander he was indeed a warrior In that notorious Lewis-Holyfield draw debacle I really felt sorry for EVander. When that scorecard of Eugenia Williams was read out as Vander won the fight the most surprised & shocked face belonged to Evander. He knew he didn't win didn't even come close but he had to accept it & act as though he agreed
It was a shame the cloud of suspicion over Evander with the "Evan Fields" steroid conspiracy tarnished his career. Evander was a WARRIOR always gave 100%
