My dad is a satellite installer and he gets service calls where he has to go over to the customers house and fix problems their satellites have. Well my dad got a service call to go to Lennox Lewis' house today. I tagged along and wow his house was HUGE!!!
Dad knocked on the door and I guess one of his maids answered and directed us to which rooms had the receivers. No sign on Lennox until about 45 minutes of working, Lennox shows up and asks us how it was going. Me and my dad told him that we were big fans and he kept saying thank you while smiling. He saw we were both working hard so he offered us a drink. After 20 minutes of talking, I asked him a question. Now I know this may have been sort of disrespectful to ask, but I had to hear it from the horses mouth so I asked, "do you think you could have beaten Tyson when he was in his prime?" He looked at me and said he gets asked that question all the time. He said he always would have beaten him.
Tyson is a short little man. He would never had been able to beat me. He was a lot shorter, he was a lot smaller and would never had a chance of beating me. He was explosive in very early rounds, but that explosiveness is still from a little man. He had a chance to fight me in the 90's when he got out of prison and ran like a little girl so that should tell you all you need to know about how it would have ended. You saw what I did to him back in 2002 right? He knew what his limits were.
My jaw completely dropped at how he talked down about Tyson, But I was amazed at the same time. I always thought the fight in their primes would have been very close, but he just sounded so convincing. I wanted to ask him another question about not fighting klitschko again, but I figured that was enough seeing how he got sort of worked up over that one question!
Anyways I just wanted to share that with you all. It's always cool to hear what the original person has to say!
