Was Tyson-Lewis really a legendary fight?

The fight featured in HBO's Legndary Fight Nights, but did it really deserve the label (considering Tyson's performances against McBride and Williams)?

It was legendary in proving that tyson was not really that good. It showed that if you fought smart, tied up his arms, and werent afraid to get hit, you could beat tyson. Essentially, if you came for a fight, and not to get knocked out, you can beat tyson. So to me it was legendary.


Cartilage, tyson's other white meat.

The anticipation, the amount of money involved, the press conference, the networks getting together - it was definitely legendary, though the in-ring action wasn't what earned it that label.

Tyson was about 13 years past his best

****, my bad. I for some reason I thought Tyson v Holyfield. Disregard my last post.

It was a legendary fight because 2 of the 3 best heavyweights in their era fought.

McBride and Williams post-date Lewis by years, so they don't deserve any mention when talking Tyson-Lewis.

"Legendary" is word that will never be applied to Lewis-Tyson for every imaginable reason.
