would probably root for Tyson if he ever fought Lewis as I usually root for an<br />
American agaisnt someone from another country but I have changed my mind here<br />
and I would like to give Lennox Lewis three cheers. Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip<br />
Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Maybe Mike Tyson can retire and take up his real<br />
calling, shaking down old ladies for their retirment checks!|<br />

from the first round , was very one sided. Although I pulled for Lewis and hoped<br />
he would win I was very upset seeing Tyson and his Era end in such a devestating<br />
way. Tyson was absolutely terrible compared to the great fighter we remember. He<br />
was outjabbed, outsped and outfought. His footwork was slow and it seems the<br />
decision to bring him in heavier was a mistake. Mike would'nt have needed<br />
anymore power than he had already. All the weight meant was that he was'nt able<br />
to get inside Lewis' reach with his notoriously fast movement. Lennox, it<br />
must be said was excellent, sticking to Emmanuel Steward's game plan,<br />
frustrating Tyson early and then dominating after Tyson had 'blown out'. <strong>The</strong><br />
afterfight interview was touching and it was a great moment to see Tyson accept<br />
his defeat like a man. No excuses and full of praise for Lewis' ability. I think<br />
he may have earnt himself a lot of respect right there. He can be a nice,<br />
intelligent person and it would be nice to see more people to try and get to his<br />
sensitive side when writing about him or interviewing him. <strong>The</strong> end of an<br />
era... I must rate Tyson of the eighties and early nineties in the top ten<br />
Heavyweights of all time with Lewis just outside maybe (it is very crammed up<br />
there). He must also, surely go down as among the top five 'punchers' in history<br />
along with Foreman, Liston, Shavers and Louis. My respect goes out to Lennox<br />
(once again) and my respect goes to Tyson for being graceful in defeat. Tyson's<br />
quote 'Thankyou, it was a great payday' was one to remember.|<br />

LEWIS...TYSON IS ALL WASHED UP.I DIDN'T GET TO WATCH THE FIGHT BUT I'M SURE IT<br />
WAS A GOOD ONE...I KNEW LEWIS WOULD WIN.....|<br />
|6/9/02 08:39:55 PM|Bob Bumbera|NC||renfbera@aol.com||||10|Well, Lewis did it!.<br />
I did not see the fight but it does not suprise me at all. Tyson is not the<br />
fighter he once was and maybe he doesn't care to be. I said here a couple of<br />
months ago I wanted Tyson to win, but thought Lewis would take it. Hey, at<br />
least from what I read, Tyson went down like a man this time. I also believe<br />
there is nothing else for Lewis to prove. He should retire and live a healthy<br />
life from now on. <strong>The</strong> Marciano-Frazier fight would be brutal indeed. A Prime<br />
vs. Prime fight between these two, I'd have to give the nod to Frazier. I think<br />
Joe would get hurt, but that hook is too fast for <strong>The</strong> Rock. It would cut him up<br />
like it sliced up Ron Stander. I'm not positve, but the two times Rocky was<br />
knocked down in title fights were from left hooks, Walcott and Moore. Neither<br />
man was a fast starter so I'll say 8th round TKO for Frazier. Louis would KO<br />
Williams within 6 rounds. Liston KO'ed Williams once in the 6th and again in the<br />
2nd. So I know Louis could do it in the same time frame. Although, in the<br />
second fight <strong>The</strong> Big Cat hit Sonny with a tremendous right that bloodied<br />
Liston's nose, so Joe could have been knocked down by a right, as he sometimes<br />
was. A question for you guys. Who is/are the fighter(s) <strong>Jerry</strong>'s putting the<br />
wood to on the opening page and home page of this web site? I've trying to<br />
figure it out for months now. My best guess is Lou Bailey. Am I way off base?<br />

continues to peak. If he continues to fight, I wonder when we will see him<br />
start to deminish? At 37, 39, 41? He has done such a great job developing in<br />
his laters years. Age probably isn't the most significant factor that effects a<br />
fighters ability. If you look at some of the great title fights over the last<br />
century, some folks might argue that fighters tend to lose skills because once<br />
they have fought their greatest fight (say, winning the title), they no longer<br />
have the overwhelming drive to peak at that point again. I noticed in the after
