There is a reason that Lewis/Tyson Was the biggest Heavyweight fight in PPV history. It's because Many people thought Tyson could win. And for good reason.
Lennox had been KO'd just one year earlier in 2001. Tyson on the other hand hadn't been down in well over 10 years. In the preflight hype, Lennox was falsely accused of ducking Tyson and was labeled a coward.
It was only after Lennox destroyed tyson where people claimed Tyson was too old. Tyson didn't test positive for any drugs so so sonny is full of shyt as always. Best man won,Give Lennox some fkin credit.

And I take it Mike also didn't test positive in any drug tests at that time or after the fight?Last edited by Anthony342; 07-11-2015, 08:38 PM.

Nielsen was the crucial piece of evidence that the guys paid to make predictions (indirectly by being in the industry) could not believe too literally and still do their jobs well. They wanted to be fans, too. Many people just let their Mike Tyson passion loose again and believed.Last edited by The Old LefHook; 07-11-2015, 02:31 AM.

Is it possible that if the rolls were reversed and Lewis was addicted to those drugs and not Tyson, That he could have still won the fight?
No matter how many people fancied Mike Tyson to win 0% of them knew of his addiction to Anti-Depressants, Alcohol, ******* & Cannabis... Yet Lennox Lewis and his team knew all about his addiction, which is the reason they agreed to fight Tyson. They even tried to sue him to fight a rematch.

What's a man have to do around here to get some interest on his money in the bank? Do you have to be logged on when they calculate the interest.
I did pick up twenty billion mysteriously, but otherwise interest on my stack has remained stagnant.

Yes, Mike Tyson was on drugs his entire career, but this is news to absolutely no one. He defended titles in the 80s sky high on coke and marijuana. RayLeonard was both coke head and alcoholic and beat some of the greatest fighters that ever lived. Joe Calzaghe; went undefeated! I can go on and on...If anything Drugs fckin help these guys in the ring. Lennox should be applauded for being one of the few to make it through this grueling sport sober!
