Was Tyson-Lewis really a legendary fight?

[beez721]

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 hardly legendary. tyson was out of shape and a shell of the fighter he once was. lewis gets way too much credit for beating him and it took him longer than danny wiliiams for christ sakes

It;s because even Lennox Lewis couldnt believe how easy it was until round 5.

That pretty much says it all.

[Tha Greatest]

A fight between 2 overrated fighters past their best.

not legendary.but so satisfying seeing a washed up tyson get the holy **** kicked out of him.

he succedded in rilying lewis up enough with prefight shannanigans to motivate him to show up with his "A"game.

that was the last time lewis "showed up" for a fight.

[oakleyno1]

it was a masterfull performance by lewis showing that he along with tyson is a great..tyson also agined some redemption but lost it all when he tryed to bite mcbride etc unfortunetly

its lengendary in its own wway

[Truth]

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.

No thats not really true because the real Mike Tyson last faught in 1989.
