    Douglas got up when he was supposed to based on the ref's count. And Douglas never looked like he was about to be stopped. He wasn't the one struggling to get up and putting his mouthpiece in backwards.

    Lewis would've eaten the midget's asshole alive! You wanna talk about Lewis' punches not being fluid enough or quick enough? Go watch what he did to Ruddock and Golota! That sh*t came from nowhere, knocking these 240lb f*ckers on their asses with lightning right hands over the top. Tyson was a bitch, he was scared to sh*t of Lewis, he knew he had no shot. Not today nor in his prime. Lewis was just much too big, too strong, too much reach, too much power, too much everything.
    AND he wasn't intimidated by Tyson like all those other pretenders Tyson beat up on. There's a reason Tyson ducked him for like 8 years.
    Tyson's got no shot. Good little man don't beat good big man.

    Ruddock and Golota were bigger targets and slower.

    They don't prove much in this discussion.

    F*ck you on about? Tyson's head is as big as Ruddock's. And that's what Lewis blew to Kingdom Come with 1 f*cking shot. Lewis would kill the little man. Much too big, much too good. Tyson doesn't have the chin to keep trying to get inside. He'd get tagged hard and would lose his confidence and get scared when he sees this big motherf*cker ain't intimidated.

    Yes, Lewis knocks out Tyson because of head size.

    Fuck YOU on About???...

    The GHOST of Tyson Past Took an 8 Round PUMMELING from Lennox Lewis...Mike had about 3 Minutes Worth of "Stamina", then it was ALL Lennox...

    Yet Tyson KEPT Trying to Get Inside...

    Mike Tyson had a VERY GOOD Chin, Hanzy...Perhaps even GREAT...Shit, Lennox Lewis BROKE his Hand by Repeatedly Going Upside Tyson's Head w/It...& Again, that was the Decrepid SHELL of Mike Tyson...

    PRIME Mike had GREAT Head Movement, GREAT Footwork, a HIGH Guard & 1 Helluva Chin...

    To Say Tyson "Doesn't Have the Chin to Keep Trying to Get Inside" is COMPLETELY False...

    Hanzy loves Lemmon that's all...

    he's been on his cock since he first saw LEnny..

    he talks about Lemmon stretching Golata.. what about Lemmon getting STRETCHED by Rahman? :lol:

    a old washed up on drugs Mike got stopped by Lemmon.. but you didn't see Mike go out with one shot like Lemmon did via Rahman at a time when Manny said (the break for the movie actually did him good.. he is in the best shape ever)

    or when Manny said "NO HW can LAST 8 rounds with Lennox) and then Zeljin Macrovision went 12 with him argueablly winning!

    I scored the fight in favor of Smith. He effectively took away tyson's infighting and then nearly murdered him in the last round

    Unless U Score Fights Based on a Compu-Box CLINCH Count, there's Absolutely NO WAY U Could've Scored that Fight for Bonecrusher...There were MORE Clinches than a John Ruiz Instructional Video N that Bout...

    Granted, that was Perhaps THE Most BORING Tyson Fight N HISTORY, but Mike CLEARLY Won it...

    Perhaps your Attempt @ SARCASM Isn't Coming Across???...

    I thought it was sarcasm, because only a blind moron would think Mavrovic did anything but get his ass kicked for twelve rounds by Lewis.

    Just to latch on to you and Tam's comments, I actually missed the Lewis v. ZM fight. Lok said he thought it was close. I had never heard anyone else say it, but I bought the fight. One, ZM won 1 or 2 rounds at best. Two, Lewis was not knocked down like LOK said. Three, it was a top 10 worst fight ever.


    I bought it because of LOk. That fucker owes me money,lol.

    Eh, no its not, Douglas was less than 1 second remove from a ko loss, at 9 he was still on his knees, that not called perfectly following the count, he just barely beat it. Douglas won, no need to change the truth for it to suit your agenda.

    Complete bull. I haven't watched your video, but Buster was obviously following the count. From about 6 on, if memory serves, he was looking directly at the ref.

    That their trips to and from the canvas were pretty much simultaneous when seen together.

    The retort to that is Douglas was aware of the count and probably could have moved a little faster had the count been quicker. You can see Douglas hit the canvas with this glove after he went down.

    He wasn't in as bad a shape as Tyson was, plus the bell rang right afterwards.

    Right, Buster was WAY more together. There's no debate.

    It proves that Douglas was nearly KOed....something that shouldn't need to be 're'-proved.

    Exactly, no doubt that Douglas won unless you are some kind of Tyson apologist, but the Tyson haters are no better when they claim that Douglas timed the count perfectly, unless he s a perfect retard, you dont only barely beat the count on purpose, when doing so, you are supposed to get up at about 8

    What the fuck are you guys arguing about. Douglas was almost kayoed but he was aware enough to get up at the referee's count. That is what you are supposed to do. He beat the count and then Tyson's ass.

    Lennox was just teeing off on the motherf*cker cause it was so easy, he didn't even have to do anything other than tip tap. Why do you think Manny was so pissed at Lewis in the corner? Slapping him and yelling "Get this motherf*cker outta here!"
    Lennox was toying with the guy for 8 rounds. If Lewis wanted that fight to be over, Tyson would've been laying in a pool of his own blood before the 5th round. Lewis f*cked around for 4 rounds for no reason whatsoever, tip tapping and sh*t. Everybody knows it. You know it too.
    Lennox had absolutely no desire to kill the little guy so quickly. He wanted to make it long and painful so Tyson would remember that day for the rest of his life.

    Mike Tyson scared opponents into submission. He was an intimidator. When he couldn't scare guys, he didn't look tough at all. Like Buster coming at him and ripping the f*cker up!
    Tyson's like Federer. They win cause they already got the opponent beat mentally. Then one guy comes along and puts them in their place and soon, more guys are less afraid and start nailing these motherf*ckers!
    Douglas raped that ass. If Tony Tucker wasn't so scared, he'd have given Tyson a mother of a fight. Hell even a single Tucker uppercut actually lifted Tyson off the canvas in the first round. Tucker didn't do anything for the rest of the fight cause he was too scared.

    Exactly. He knocked Tyson's ass into next week. LOK is still in denial over this. He don't wanna admit that Tyson got his ass beat up. It was a fair and square beating. Buster smashed him up from the first round all the way to the end. And Buster doesn't punch even 1/3 as hard as Lennox did. LOL!
