          Mike was something special

          If guys like Mayweather or Pacquaio were heavyweights they would have been after him but nobody took the throne in the heavyweight division.

          Lewis .. he lives off the Tyson name. What else has he done

          Holyfield was a great fighter no doubt but "ordinary fans2 only remember his ear not his legacy

            good to see the same old tripe soldiered out again about Lewis.

            KO'ing Tyson with a damaged hand was enough to cement his legacy and yet a lot of Americans still can't give him credit for it. He beat everyone put in front of him, and avenged his loses in a manner a champion should.

                Your saying it like Lewis did some spectacular KO, where he put a masterful combination, body and head.

                Lewis got laid out by Rahman and McCall in his prime, avenging loss's dont mean **** when you get your ass laid out by Bums.

                Lewis beat a old Tyson and a old Holyfield.

                The man legacy isnt as strong as people think..

                    yeah he beat an old Tyson, but he wouldn't have got a 1/5 of the respect if he was taken the distance.

                    The man unified the heavyweight division and like I said he will only grudging respect from most Americans
