        Leonard/Hagler had no meaning? Rethink that please. You have to be sharper than that

            Tyson V Lewis

            Tyson was half cut on drugs and fighting for a paycheck.

              At the time a lot of people were picking Tyson to win. It wasn't seen as a "cash grab" at the time.

                I actually enjoyed the first duran camacho fight the telecast I saw leonard was on the broadcast team and thought duran got robbed.He then made a unwise comeback against camacho and got stopped

                  Lewis vs Botha
                  Lewis vs Grant
                  Lewis vs Mavrovic
                  Lewis vs Akinwande
                  Lewis vs Butler
                  Lewis vs Jackson
                  Lewis vs Fortune

                  But surely the best "Cash Grab" in Boxing history was Mike Tyson addicted to prescription anti-depressants, alcohol, ******* & cannabis being cajoled into fighting Lennox Lewis in 2002... Lewis then tried to sue Tyson to take part in a rematch ffs..
