Lennox Lewis: "Tyson tried to intimidate me but I thought, ‘You’re 5'5, and I’m 6'5 and also, you are way past your prime" that should've been the full quote

Lmao that had me lol.

tyson fan here but i heard even in their early career, they sparred before and lewis got the better of tyson. this is why they kept tyson away from guys like lewis until towards the end of tyson's career.

Interesting. But, I remember Tyson calling Lennox out but I don't recall ever hearing Lennox calling Tyson out.

Tyson always had issues with tall guys with a good jab..Douglass, Mitch Green, Tony Tucker

Tyson had zero issues with Blood.

Why do people think Tyson was more shot than Lenny ?

Ah, because Lenny won without really breaking a sweat.

[A-Wolf]

Beating a shot, coked up Tyson is his life's crowning moment.

Does it matter ?
They're the same age
Lennox had the much tougher resume.

They fought
Mike was humiliated
Maybe he won the press conference match ?

Lewis tries to remain relevant by making all these off comments from time to time. In regards to Lewis not being intimidated, he wasn't 2002. I wonder if the same can be said if it was 1988. Lewis was a great heavyweight, but suspect chin would more and likely be exposed against a prime Tyson.

c'mon, why would it be an attempt to remain relevant when the first you see it is when someone else chooses to post about it?
I am not sure why a top five ATG HW needs ro feel more relevant, is his intent to become a top three one by saying these things?

They fought well after Tyson's prime. Everyone who knows boxing understands that Tyson was the more dangerous one when they were young. Lennox's skills were better honed later, after hiring Emmanuel Steward.

Timely excuses is everything when a hero is beaten by quality guys

Mike could have stayed prime until he was 60 if they kept feeding him the likes of Seldon, Rabalta, Bruno, Botha, Savarese, Mathis jr, Nielson, Tillman........on and on. 2 quality guys, 3 massive beatings.

The Rasta man was the best HW of his era and should be top 5 on everybody’s All time great HW's list...I’m just saying!! Plus he beats Mike 9 outta 10 times in my opinion
