What a whole charade the thing was. I really was fooled. It was all hype. After the fight "about 5am here" I was listening to Tyson and Lewis and how much they've always been freinds. I've got alot of respect for Tyson from this and he said that he had to do whatever to win the fight. He did go too far only to sell more tickets.

I doubt there will ever be a re-match.

Lewis it's time to retire, you've beat them all, you've beaten the best. It's a perfect time to retire - I don't care how much you're addicted to boxing. The only situation i'd say to retire for is if there is a re-match.
lol i can respond to this now.....nah i didnt have a large wager on the fight , because the odds sucked, but i didnt lose £30 betting with a mate .....and yeah Lewis kiled him....so what?! it means nothing...not a thing, cuz anyone who saw Tyson fight in the 80's would know that if a 20-24 year old Mike Tyson had of got hold of Lennox hed of crushed him inside of four rounds....that was during the time when he was damn near unbeatable, when he went to jail he lost it all, his hunger for the game, and he never got it back, he has about 5% of the boxing skills he used to, and now hes just a puncher..... Tyson's had 19 rounds in three years the best fighter hes fought in recent memory is probably Andrew Golota, yeah hes shot big time, and i could name at least 3 heavyweights who could beat him now, But Tyson achieved more in his prime than Lennox has, Tyson was the youngest ever world heavyweight champion, he made 6 defences of the undisputed title and during his prime he was not only the best heavyweight in the world, he was the best fighter in the world
