Alot of people over here got turned off to Tyson because of the ear biting incident. Evander is good people compared to Tyson.

Tyson is an animal that should live out the rest of his life in prison. The fact that this fight is happening at all is a sign of seriously decaying morality within this country. Anyone who pays the ridiculous fee (or any fee) to watch that waste of human skin is sponsoring that moral decline.

who cares if he's an "animal" or has mental issues. What sane person would be a boxer? Do you expect a well educated, humble boxer??? Tyson is a great boxer because he puts his anger and hatred into his fists and goes for the kill. Lennox Lewis is an arrogant chump that deserves to get his @$$ kicked

Just because Tyson had a very bad confrontation with Holyfield resulting in him losing control and biting a part of his ear, doesn't mean he will do that to Lewis. I expect a good fight and Tyson kicking the snot out Lewis.

GO IRON MIKE!

P.S GermanStar.. I will be watching the fight, along with countless others. Moral decline has nearly hit rock bottom in this country... just look at our culture

Could go either way, huh.

Tyson could get in a great punch and that might be it.

If Lewis is good defensively and gets past the third round, he would have a chance.

Are there going to be places to see the fight in San Jose?

some may not even be aware that Tyson already bit Lewis in the leg during that tussle they had at the pre-fight circus. the postponement was really so that Lenox could complete the series of anti-rabies shots required

jsmith.. that rumor that he bit Lewis in the stage brawl is a load of bull. Even the whole thing was staged to get people all into the upcoming fight.

Howdy All,
I think Tyson is done . The reporters watching the fight said Tyson didn't have anything from the second round on. If he trained as hard as he said and he's done in the second round I think age has caught up to him.

Tyson has a remarkable record, can't take that away from him.
But his style was to bull in early and knock people out. Not much of a boxer.

Against 6'5" Lewis, who has some good boxing skills, Tyson couldn't use his old tactics, and was simply outclassed.

It would be fun to watch Tyson knock around some crummy fighters though...

Angry I still remember

Snibble, I am old enough to remember when boxers, from all weight classes, were gentlemen. Maybe not college educated, PhD's, but well-spoken gentlemen nonetheless.

I agree with GermanStar 100%.

Compare Ali (and I do NOT agree with his political views) to Tyson (or most any curren t boxer). Ali is a well-spoken, witty man. He is an intellectual giant compared to the current crop of loudmouth, steroid-pumped, chromosone-deficient boxers.

Just my .02 worth
