      Lets take a look at things leading up to Tyson-Lewis:
      I agree with everything you posted regarding Tyson's avoidance of Lewis. You are preaching to the choir.

      My focus is the explosive interview that sold 2 million ppv buys. Regardless of his true motivation, it was one of the greatest promos in boxing history.... Should've used against Douglas.

      Physical prime is generally the same for most human beings, some choose to take advantage, others dont. Lennox wasted 20-24 in the amateurs. Tyson wasted 23-29 being an idiot. Here is the last in-ring moment for both fighters:





      I'm assuming you're talking about Holmes
      You assumed wrong. Holmes wasnt 31 and 32 when he lost to a LHW twice.

        Post prison his heart wasn't in it anymore and he was just going through the motions living off his 80's hype. He chose Holyfield over Lewis because on paper Holyfield was the easier opponent but that blew up in his face
