He was in under par shape by his standards but really? Mike Tyson has never really stepped inside the ring in bad shape 'Condition wise'.
Technically he has been way off, but condition wise 'He has always been in condition'.
I would say against Lennox Lewis and Brain Neilson sp* fights were his worse conditions.
To withstand the heavy bombardment from Lennox Lewis for so long, and fight back when he could 'He had to be in some sort of condition'.
But yes, I believe that training camp for Lewis was all over the place.
Tyson didn't have much motivation by that time. He would receive very little of his purse because it pretty much went to his creditors at that point which is why he backed out of the rematch (it was a two fight deal). He did it for the money which he knew he'd never really get and was deep in depression. He said in an interview that he was so tired after the first round he didn't know what he would do.
I'm probably the only one, but I would love to see Bowe get back into shape and fight Lewis in an exhibition. But the WBC would probably make special belts for the bout and Bowe would throw it in the trash
Just saw this on TMZ...should be an interesting exhibition. Tyson was in horrible shape for the first and said he didn't know how he'd get past the first round because he was gassed. Now they are both more or less on a similar level albeit Lewis still has the size advantage.

Should be very interesting if it’s a real fight .
Does this mean his lineal title is activated ? :lol1:
I don't want to see these fights, but Lennox coming back would be worth it just to see the responses from those who insist Fury remained lineal through his inactivy.
Unless I'm missing something there does not seem to be a way to merge threads...GhostofDempsey's was much earlier than your's...waiting for BPP's response to my question about that. Apologies to GhostofDempsey...I think it's a new system issue.
Much earlier is like 30 mins? Really, I don't know and didn't see his thread when I browsed the forms before I posted
I was ;) :boxing::boxing:

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Don’t give Lennox ideas his ego would definitely take this up.
