    He will be a hall of famer but he isn`t one of the greatest hevyweights of all time. He didn`t defeat anyone who would be considered a top twenety heavyweight of all time and he lacked courage and heart when faced with an opponent who stood up to him. he was one of the weakest heavyweights of all time in terms of courage. Check Holyfield II. Evander was beating on him and instead of fighting back he looked for a way out by biting. This guy is weak and lacked heart.

      Damn right. In the sport of boxing its not how you beat them, its who you beat. Tyson was a bully. He was so talented he thought everybody is below him. And when he fought somebody who actually was not afraid of him and had a good gameplan....he lost. Douglas can tell you that, Holyfield can tell you that, Lewis can tell you that.

        i agree hollister...this lenox has skills for big man thing has been way over blown...he dominated a weak era..and holmes (a big guy with real skill) would have owned lewis.

        i am not saying it untrue what ur saying about tyson..but truth be told..he made the sport famous and exciting...everyone knows who your talking about when u say tyson. The man had great speed,stamina and power when he was in his prime...and all these things are what people remember and thank him for.

        But true more have accomplised more then him...but in "boring fights"...tyson will be remembered before all of those

        and thats the triht ... am not taking sides..but its true

          Wow!! Lewis dominated a weak era??? Holyfield, Tyson, Golota, Bowe and so on, and so forth.

              Lewis is better than Mike, but Mike used to have a bigger market appeal.

                True. Even though mike was good and will be a hall of famer he was never as good as the brand said. Don King made Mike what he is now. Maybe if Cus was alive and could guide him.
