He ducked...Who did he duck in the 90's.......He went to jail in 91 after fighting Razor Rudduck 2 times came out fought Peter McNeeley (36-1) Buster Mathis Jr. (20-0) Frank Bruno (40-4) Bruce Seldon (33-3) and Evander Holyfield 2 times the second time he bit his ear off and then was suspended for nearly 2 years. He came back fought Francois Botha (39-1) and Orlin Norris (50-5). So all in all in the 90's he fought 13 times he was 10-3 with 9 KO's his 3 loses were to Douglas and twice to Holy with the one loss by ear biting...Who did he duck?..Lefty
Lennox Lewis
Rid**** Bowe
George Foreman
Michael Moorer
Tommy Morrison
Shannon Briggs
There may have been a few more, but those guys were the top heavys of the 90's and Tyson fought the guys you named instead.Comment

Tyson fought every pizza delivery guy available. No duckage here, son.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

I disagree with this When LEwis wanted to fight Tyson before he went to jail and when Lennox was around in the late 90's Tyson had his sights on Holyfield....After which Tyson was suspended for ear biting....When he was allowed to fight he had maybe 3 or 4 fights before fighting Lennox and t6hat at the time was the most PPV sells and in my mind lennox only took the fight cause he knew Tyson was way past his prime in my mind after Tyson foguth Holy in 96 Lennox did not want that man in the same ring as him. I mean Lennox had trouble with Holy and tyson packed much more of a punch then Holy and Lennox won that fight with his jab.....LeftyComment

Tyson chose Evander over Lennox because he saw Evander as an easy fight at that time. Hence, Tyson ducked Lennox in favor of a man who he thought had a hole in his heart.I disagree with this When LEwis wanted to fight Tyson before he went to jail and when Lennox was around in the late 90's Tyson had his sights on Holyfield....After which Tyson was suspended for ear biting....When he was allowed to fight he had maybe 3 or 4 fights before fighting Lennox and t6hat at the time was the most PPV sells and in my mind lennox only took the fight cause he knew Tyson was way past his prime in my mind after Tyson foguth Holy in 96 Lennox did not want that man in the same ring as him.
