    People want to be entertained in boxing not put to sleep ..it's like a basketball game with no dunks just lay ups The business of boxing is making it softer ..This fight is the epitome of that ..But then again it's not Floyd's fault he knew when to come back the fighters today aren't seasoned enough this is why he is head over heels above the rest..

        this fight was for real boxing fans not these clowns who popped up when pac became a threat to floyd, real boxing fans appreciate a talent like floyd and the little things hes able to do in the ring, he made one of the greatest offensive fighters doubt himself and look amature.

          The killer instinct was there it's just Evander was definitely the better boxer and all Lennox did was hold Tyson every time he got in close and the referee let him get away with it.

              The amount of disrespect for a true legend of the sport on this thread boggles the mind. Mike's right, today's boxing is puzzy compared to boxing of yesteryear.

              As for the losses - The Douglass fight, all I'm going to say is Don King. Holyfield had to use the juice to beat him. And the Lewis fight, Lennox was to big for Mike, (Mike 234 lbs, Lewis 249 lbs) it was a super heavyweight vs a heavyweight.

                Killer didn't watch over his money. Needed some business sense.

                  Evander was the better boxer and Lennox held Tyson every time he got in close and the ref let him get away with it.Lennox knew he couldn't handle Mike's power. We all know Lewis had a tendancy to put his nightcap on.

                    That's the majority of boxers guess they aren't great then because they ended up broke right?

                      Don King indeed. He planted the seeds of Tyson's downfall when he made Tyson get rid of Kevin Rooney. People who weren't around to appreciate boxing at that time and who instead judge Tyson based on what happened a decade or 15 years later are missing at least half of the picture.
