    Not buying it. Lennox won't accept a peanut percentage. I think Tyson is using Lennox name and will end up picking Golota or Toney.

        Does this mean his lineal title is activated ?
        I don't want to see these fights, but Lennox coming back would be worth it just to see the responses from those who insist Fury remained lineal through his inactivy.

          He was in under par shape by his standards but really? Mike Tyson has never really stepped inside the ring in bad shape 'Condition wise'.

          Technically he has been way off, but condition wise 'He has always been in condition'.

          I would say against Lennox Lewis and Brain Neilson sp* fights were his worse conditions.

          To withstand the heavy bombardment from Lennox Lewis for so long, and fight back when he could 'He had to be in some sort of condition'.

          But yes, I believe that training camp for Lewis was all over the place.

            I'm probably the only one, but I would love to see Bowe get back into shape and fight Lewis in an exhibition. But the WBC would probably make special belts for the bout and Bowe would throw it in the trash

              Tyson didn't have much motivation by that time. He would receive very little of his purse because it pretty much went to his creditors at that point which is why he backed out of the rematch (it was a two fight deal). He did it for the money which he knew he'd never really get and was deep in depression. He said in an interview that he was so tired after the first round he didn't know what he would do.
