Why didnt tyson take the rematch with lewis???

Poor Mike never had a chance in the first fight, Mike at that point was only a shadow of the fighter he once was. His head movement was gone, his jab was ineffective and instead of bobbing and weaving he would rush straight in looking for that one punch knockout. I feel the rematch would have ended the same way.

Even if they were to have a trilogy... Lewis would have won every time.

Tyson had pretty much no chance in a rematch, Lewis dominated him. I wouldn't even give him a punchers chance. Why would he want to get knocked out again? The 2nd fight probably wouldn't have sold as well because the first fight was so one sided and Lennox would have been badly critisized for taking a rematch.

Mike said he knew he was gonna lose the Lewis fight, just waitin for the big pay day by sellin the fight at pressers lol

Tyson at that point wouldnt have been able to do any better no matter how hard he trained. Im not sure anyone would have paid to see it again considering how one sided the fight was. people pay hundreads to hear the guy talk at dinner events, im sure the fight would have been a sellout, tyson always had a punchers chance considering how lewis got ktfo against rahman........
