Lennox Lewis vs Mike Tyson - World Heavyweight Boxing Championship - June 8 2002 

You have a plan until you get hit in the mouth.

cus tyson got inside at will but then didnt do any work. its an indictment of lewis, and also an indictment of tyson

Go back to 🥅 ⚽️

He wasn't

@@anthonybryant1969 he wasn't what?? How do u mean?

In any shape and time, Tyson would be schooled by Lewis

@LuizHenrique-js4ed not true!

17.5 million reasons a piece lol to keep the fight on

Tyson was unbeatable in his youth.

Lewis chỉ toàn ôm

@@user-vm3wu3ky6i Seriously? Take a look at Tyson's face at the finish. He has been beaten to a pulp. Sad to see a great champion in that condition, but it's the truth.

He almost lost to tony tucker, and he was still fresh during that period.

And crushersmith

​@@CognitoCognito-rh3bu yeah, i watched Smiths fight this evening.. Talk about Sur Hugs Alot😂😂😂

He smoked bone crusher and Tucker was unbeaten in like 11 years straight leading up to that fight. Tucker fought a good fight and Tyson wasn’t throwing many combos till the last couple rounds and virtually no head movement. A lot of people ducked Tucker so acting like he was a chump is ignorant.

Ya he was there for the check and wasn’t in shape

Mike's prime was a long time ago unfortunately at the time of this fight. But we can't ignore the shape Lennox was in for this fight. They are both my favorite heavyweight boxers with a little advantage to Mike

@@dariovandemaele1956 Yeah they both peaked at way different ages and times.

He didn’t kill the fight, he won the fight

It wasn't Lewis in his Prime either. Actually Lewis was 36 years and 9months old in this fight to Tyson at 35 years old.

His prime ended in 1988, Lewis turned pro in 1989. I was foolish enough to think he would win, he couldn't beat Lewis on any date.

@@shaunbat5097 This version of Lewis beats any version of Tyson , He just had his number.

and tyson didnt fight prime lennox either

Lwis toàn ôm

sometimes better to not give time to adapt but what can u do

Oh word, did he tell you that ?

@@tinted93 He (Lewis) knew the fight was over a long time before the end. He could have finished the job way earlier than it did. From round 5 onwards it was just a Gym workout.

​@@tinted93obvious

I'm not sure Lewis is my favourite but I agree he had it all. I don't think there has been another heavyweight that had the technical ability, ring craft, and power all at once. And that one-two... Can't fake that sound, the two is a bomb!

At this time, Tyson no longer has the physical strength he once had. Time will destroy powerful people.

Agility? Stamina? Weak legs, had it all, no.

@@Quantumfluxfield 6'5", 245 pounds. 41 wins, 32 KO's. Agility? For a big dude he moved well in the ring. Stamina? 9 of his wins went the distance, but you could argue that because of his power, his stamina was less necessary. Weak legs? You're just making shit up now... 😂

he was done after round 1. If tyson couldnt knock his opponents out in the first few rounds he always looked lethargic and disinterested and discouraged for the rest of the fight, even in his wins that went thr distance. I used to think due to the fact he got inside on lewis so easily in this fight and just didnt work when he did, a prime tyson would easily beat lewis, but tbh tyson was never a good inside fighter, and probably prime tyson vs lewis is just as likely to go the way of buster douglas and tyson. but could go either way, i just dont have much faith in tyson's heart even in his prime

His heart wasn’t there. It’s obvious he was there for the check only. He even admitted after his heart and mind weren’t in it in his later yrs

I think people have their time too, some are able to come back and achieve greatness and others not.

You're absolutely right @paulanthony

Tua, Morrison, Mercer which was a close fight, compared their CVs. Lewis stands out.

CUS D AMATO WAS DEAD 1 YEAR BEFOR TYSON BECAME WORLD CHAMPION SO THERE S 2 PHASES OF TYSON CAREER BFOR AND AFTER JAIL

I'd say before and after Kevin Rooney!

What do you mean by prime. Lewis is even a year older than iron Mike. They are just like age mates

Captain Obvious himself ?

Fear …..You fool!…. Fear is being able to watch two gladiators with pure heart go to battle and sit around at home whilst keyboard commenting on one of the greatest fighters of all time and say he had fear 😂😂😂

@@29JTAC Yes but you haven't seen were I live or my home trust me I'm no fool 😊 plus i won my bet 😂

Tyson's life is a mess and he looks terrible in the ring, he's just trying to pay off his debts

He pushed him twice! This was a rigged fight!

@@princesspeachy8843 small guy, quiet. The ref was paid off by Tyson’s camp. My uncle was in on it !

He lost 2 fights

​@@benchbenchington4099the way he worded it is technically correct tho as he won the rematchrs

​@benchbenchington4099 What's your point?

Lennox Lewis is a cheater!

Marco Tee ...Most likely.

Fanboy Crybaby 😂😢😅

And you're a real goofy MF. Wake yo ass up Slim.😂😂

Lennox fought him way past him prime

​@@coding-is-fun101his prime ended 1988....Lewis turned pro 1989....four years after MT did. MT avoided top opposition Bowe Tua Morrison Foreman Ibeabuchi Mercer both Klitschko's Briggs Mcall Rahman etc

Lewis avoids Tyson's peak, this fight proves nothing

Tysons prime was 2 or 3yrs. That wasn't Lewis's fault. Tyson paid him 4 million to step aside. How many top boxers did Tyson avoid. Most of them. Lewis never turned away from a fight. He put everything on the fight against Tyson when no one would give him a fight.

2027 n’existe pas encore. Message écrit le 08/03/24

C'est tout de même comme Mike n'était pas tres engagé. Il est moins vif que d'habitude. Vrai que les combats sont pas les mêmes

Yea yeeeaaa rocking it to the words of truth hard hard hard song by bob Marley ,

Now you look me with a scorn after eat all.my corn ,chase dem crazy ballhead right outa town

Fear was one of mikes biggest punches. Putting fear into your feignts is massive as an advantage...when the mystique went. Mike followed. Also .f**k Coke for taking mike away from us. That ego giving soul stealing shit took more fighters than fists

The only thing that was different is that Lewis was facing better competition than Tyson. He turned all of his losses into wins. Something Tyson could never do.

Tyson nunca enfrentou uma batalha nos anos 80, quando começou a enfrentar pujilistas de verdade foi a lona

​@@IceColdKeiz Exactly 👏👏👏👏👏

And nobody did anything! Rigged fight!

5 years earlier Tyson got knocked out by Holyfield. Before that he got knocked out by Douglas. Try again.

Z ysut Rua tu tbm​@@thespy7795

@@thespy7795Tyson was his own worst enemy. He was all fkd up by the time he fought Douglas and beyond fkd up in the years after.

If my daughter had balls she’d be my Son 😂

and tyson didnt fight prime lennox either. Lennox was the best fighter when he entered the heavy weight,

To see him drop like that man was something u just would ever imagine

Greatest heavyweight boxers all time top 9 1. Muhammad Ali 2. Joe Louis 3. Rocky Marciano 4. George Foreman 5. Lennox Lewis 6. Larry Holmes 7. Evander Holyfield 8. Jack Johnson 9.

@@deanbell300 Very good writen. I think he is overrated too. But I think you forgot the Klitschkos at their prime. I think Especially Vitali Klitschko could have won vs Tyson. Klitschko wants to fight vs Tyson for years, but the management from Tyson has allways excuses why Tyson can't fight.

@@deanbell300 you really think all his wins and his skill were overrated? I respectfully disagree but I think I'll always be biased because as a kid Tyson was the scariest man on the planet to me

@@winsalot84 Mike Tyson a talent no doubt hand speed and power combo But Mike Tyson also had flaws for a heavyweight short arms and trying to rely to much on his knockout power and started getting hit more in late 80s and 90s Mike style fun to watch and build for youth When Mike Tyson lost his speed he wasn't as good Mike Tyson was kinda of one dimensional I called Mike Tyson overrated because hes lost all his big fights to fighters in his era Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield And because people try to put Mike Tyson on the levels of Muhammad Ali I dont think Mike Tyson a top 5 heavyweight all time Mike Tyson somewhere in the top 10 But to try to put Mike Tyson top 5 is overrating him

@@deanbell300 I can see that. He's in my 5 but I told you why already, lol. Good chat brotha
