Who ducked who? Tyson vs Lewis?

[AlexKid]

Dont know if Lewis ducked Tyson or the other way around or were both ducking each other hoping one would fall before they had to fight?

I have Tyson winning prime for prime because Lewis cant take a punch llike Tysons, and Tyson was good enough to get through his defense unlike Morrison, and no one knew to tie Tyson up pre Botha fight, and that tactic depends on the ref

[juggernaut666]

I don't think either ducked ,i think it was just different business differences. If I had to guess it was Lewis more not looking forward to Tyson in the mid 90's. looking at the fights at that time, Mercer had gave Lewis a good fight while Tyson crushed Seldon ,so I don't believe after watching Lewis go 12 with Mercer that Tyson was going out of his way to duck Lewis.

It can be argued young Lewis avoided young Tyson...

[Anthony342]

Yes and Don King went out of his way to make sure the older Tyson avoided the older Lewis.

No I don't think it can, but please present the case for such.

Yep...
But Which is worse??

No I don't think it can, but please present the case for such.

If you disagree why don't you state a case

Something along the lines of
"but, but tony tucker doe..."
"but, but lewis H2H doe..."

Lewis was one of those thief in the night types who NEVER really liked to fight prime guys, unless they suck...

If i remember correctly Lewis accomplished nothing until Tyson was out of the way.
But I'm sure the timing was just happenstance, lol

In fact didn't lenny lew only start calling out Tyson after Jail??
PATHETIC....

Lewis had been a professional for eight months, at 6-0, when Tyson lost to Douglas in February of 1991.

The time frame makes it impossible to criticise Lewis unless you disregard reality and have no understanding of boxing mechanisms.

Did I say 6-0 Lewis??

Just remember lenny was going life and death with Ray Mercers corpse
I'm sure Tyson was shook...

In fact Lenny is such a punk he only dared get revenge on Mccall
after he'd lost and faded...
Pathetic...

Lewis was never the dare to be great type...
He was always a "when the timing is right" kinda guy with his fight picking...That's the main point.

I'll give you Lenny Lew fanboys one thing you sure are loyal...
But more delusional than any pact ard or flo mo, cos after all those 2 fan bases can cheer fighters who actually did something of note....

No you said:

No you said:

Oh!!!
So is this somehow your excuse for lenny lew barely beating a flabby
and sick Mercer????
He was old in 96??? LOL

And Tyson was past it by then but nowhere near as bad as the burnt out
old man lenny did eventualy decide to fight...

Okay I should have said younger instead of young

Let me ask you a question.
Do you believe lenny lew was the dare to be great type or the catch em when they slippin type?
