    Mike Tyson avoided who?

    Every time you bring up Mike as being one of the greatest heavy Weights of all time you get the arguments that he did not fight anyone. Well if you are on that side of the fence and you think that Mike didn't fight any quality fighters while he was cleaning up the division and doing it mostly by impressive first and 2nd round KO's then name me names of fighters that were around while he was dominating that Mike avoided. I see all these threads of Roy and Floyd saying they avoided all the names named but I always get slack for my credit given to Mike for being the #1 P4P fighter of the mid 80's early 90's......Lefty

          He paid Lennox some step aside money earlier in his career when he had a belt, but ended up fighting him in the end........

              I think at this point there was much attention going to Evander and they were lining up a big money fight with him Lennox wasn;t worth as much at the time that is why I think Bowe Holy and Tyson all decided not to fight him at that time. in my mind Tyson before jail would have crushed Lewis but that never happened and the fight in 2002 Tyson took a vicious beating....Lefty

                    Tyson was so far past it when he faught Lennox that he would have needed turn around and drive 500 miles to find his prime...
