do yall think there is a chance of this happening...if so, i think it'll be a way better fight because tyson has more of an idea of what he's getting into when he enters the fight...i mean i don't wanna create excuses but tyson really hasn't foght anyone legit since holyfield and that shit ended in a disqualification like 4 years ago...so what are your thoughts?
peace.

I tottaly Agree with u homie, He hasnt fought since...and If he had another chance I think he might be able to pull it off..

i was a big tyson fan but after last night he dont deserve another chance an i personally think his career is over

There may be one just because Tyson was such a good sport after the fight, but it won't draw as many people. Tyson fights still may be a PPV draw but not as much as it used to be.
-
^^ Yeah, I don't see them banking nearly as much with a rematch, but it would still draw better than Lewis vs anyone else.
-
Wont happen, Tyson is finished. The only way he cud get another shot is by him fighting holyfield for the number 1 contendership and beating him. But I cant see this happening cos Holyfield will claim he is already number 1 contender cos he beat Rahman so Tyson is in literal terms FUCKED.

Holyfield has been washed up for along time so if he can face Lewis for the third time then Tyson can definitely step up to Tyson a second time.
Mike has a better chance then Holyfield anyday. Holyfield couldn't even beat John Ruiz fairly.
-
^^ Good point.

i honestly think that Tyson/Holyfield III would draw a bigger response then Tyson/Lewis II. Tyson really jus got MOPPED up on saturday. I mean, if this was ANY other fighter then Tyson...everyone would be saying "why did he get a shot at the title??" Who has he beat to make him #1 contender? no one. The ONLY quality fighter hes faught in the last 5 yrs was Holyfield (who beat him wit ease int he first fight, and was winnin easily the second fight). Tyson got this title shot, because he's the bigger draw at the box office, and thas it. Boxing is about money more then anything. Other sports are the same, but NONE as bad as boxing. Tyson should have to prove himself and move up in the rankings just like ANY other fighter. And if he faught Holyfield again, Holyfield would beat his ass again...for sure. Ive alwayz been a Holyfield fan, and even tho i KNEW Lewis would take this fight against Tyson(hes just a better boxer), part of me wanted Tyson to win. Getting a title shot against Lewis will be much harder then getting a title shot against Tyson, for the reason that Lewis has already beat Holyfield...when Tyson has lost to him twice. I do agree that Lewis/Tyson II would be better then the first fight...but...how could it be worse? It was tha definition of a mismatch. And the "Tyson needed to fight 2 more opponents" excuse holds NO weight. If he needed to fight 2 more opponents to be ready for Lewis, then he shouldnt been fighting for the title, he didnt deserve the shot. But oh well, boxing politics once again takes center stage lol

Tyson being a "good sport" (lol@ Tyson the politician) at the end of the fight, will DEFINETELY hurt ticket sales if theres a second fight. People didnt order this fight to see a good fight, they ordered to see if Tyson would flip out. Tyson isnt good enough anymore to sell tickets based solely on his skill...so hes gotta turn it into a circus. Oh well...maybe the Tyson fans will stop living in the past now. LOL

Hopefully

And about a rematch, I don't think Tyson has anything else to offer, he said before the fight that he felt about 22, he felt great and was seriously ready, but that fight was VERY one sided after the first round. Lewis was all over Tyson, he didn't give him a chance to get those deadly punches in and he wore him down until Tyson couldn't take anymore. And I think thats exactly what he's gonna do again if they do have a rematch.

Well I dont know about you, but last Saturday I saw a clean boxing match.

naw im not arguin about that, it was a clean fight. Im just saying, that people ordered this fight jus for "shock value". Because they thought there was a chance Tyson would flip, or a chance to see sumthing crazy. So if Tyson brings this peaceful, loving, attitude...not as many people will be interested in the second fight(especially seeing how he got his ass whooped in the first fight). If he showcased sum real skills, and came out ontop...then maybe. But in boxing, nobodies interested in watching a gracious "loser" lol. He even said, "everything i said about Lennox was to promote the fight". It worked, and was needed.

Yeah I agree with that.

Tyson is obviously not in his prime. But remember, tha "old" Tyson used to beat people before they even got in the ring. 80% of his fights were won before tha fight started. People let themselves be afraid of him, and uncontrolled fear in the ring....means a loss. Lewis and Holyfield just werent afraid of him, and i honestly dont think either would have been when Tyson was in his prime. So whether Tyson "would have" won or not, is hard to say. It woulda been close. He prolly wouldnt have been DOMINATED like he has been, but i think he still woulda lost (at least to Holyfield, who was better back then also). Styles really make tha fights for sure. And Tyson has alwayz had problems with bigger fighters with long reach (Lewis). Its a shame that the heavyweight division is so wack now. I mean, theres basically 3 fighters lol. Tyson, Lewis, Holyfield. Other then that, NO ONE will draw a big money fight. Fukit, im waitin for mah boy "Suga" Shane tah come back! ;)

Yea...I would like to see a Tyson-Lewis II but I dont know if it will happen!! Tyson has done said that all tha shit he said bout Lewis he didnt mean he was just promotin tha fight! So if they have Lewis-Tyson II and Tyson talks shit bout Lewis again peeps are gonna know that its all a act and that he is just promotin tha fight again!!
I think that another Holyfield-Tyson fight would most def. bring in some big ass bank!! Peeps know that Tyson hates Holyfield and their has been alot of drama go on in tha ring between them!!
IMO I think that Lewis will fight Holyfield cuz Holyfield has been talkin shit sayin he is tha best fighter of this era and shit, so Lewis is gonna want to prove somethin to him!! If Lewis beats Holyfield, then I think he will retire as champ!! If Tyson fights again I think it will be a Tyson-Holyfield fight instead of Lewis-Tyson!!!

You gotta remember Lewis is older than Tyson too, it was a fair fight, there's no excuses for why Tyson lost except for Lewis was the better fighter. And like the homie said above, Tyson's opponents back in the day feared Tyson and that fucked up their performances. Tyson is a great fighter, but Lewis just wasn't scared, he went in there with his eyes open, totally ready and he totally deserved that win.

^^^yup!!
Both men were healthy. Theres no excuses. Tyson saying he needed 2 more fights before Lewis, was bullshit. Lewis is the champion, its OTHER fighters job to take HIM out. Not his job to take THEM out. So if they aint ready, thats their fault. Maybe if Tyson wasnt fighting bullshit fights the last few years (other then being beatin by holyfield twice) he mighta been ready. But regardless, he'da got his ass whooped. so fukit lol

Eat a dicc faggot. Tyson and Lewis have discussed an exhibition fight about Lewis fights Bowe.
-
I heard when they signed on originally it was supposed to be a 2 fight deal... Tyson got his ass whipped so bad it was demoralizing... so it never happened. Tyson is my all time favorite boxer and favorite athlete (after Jordan) but I have to give props to Lewis, under Emmanuel Stewart - Lewis became damn near invincible and impossible to overcome
-
Looks like it was all talk. No Tyson Lewis in September. Like Holyfield, Lewis seems to be looking for a different opponent.
