Lewis - Tyson - Lewis yep Lewis b,c he,s from the UK
Lewis needs to be smart and he needs to be modest unlike his recent fights where he has showed a little too much confidence and got stuck on his ass.If he can work Tyson and make the most of his reach and boxing skills I think he can win

to be honest i think lewis. i hate him though. he actually thinks he is the best fighter of the last generation. if he is so good, where was he when tyson or holyfield were in thier primes. i still say put tyson in his prime vs lewis now (his prime) and it would be a slaughter. since he unified the belts and went crazy, tyson has lost all form and technique and never comes in in shape. its a shame really. so much talent wasted.
even holyfield is way past his prime. since the heart condition started he has never been the same. he actually used to be stronger in the 12th than in the first. now he looks sluggish in the 6.
there really is no decent heavyweights around anymore. since everything went pay per view, nobody cares about boxing.
that and i really hate the rule changes a few years ago. everything is punch counts now. this aint amateur. since when has a jab been the same as a right hook in professional boxing?

I think Tyson is in really good shape this round but he is a sandwich short of a picnic or is that an ear short of a head?
I hope Lewis wins but when Tyson was in his prime he was an animal

Lewis landed a good right but Tyson was only going to duck like he did before on that same round, Lewis leaned his weight on top of Mike and practically pushed him down.
It was over for Tyson anyways so I'm sure he just decided to stay down.
A very, very sad fight. :(

Lewis will fight IBF #1 contender Chris Byrd next. After that he'll most likely go for the big money fight. Lewis-Tyson II would be a big money fight based on how this fight went, but who knows? You can never tell whats going to happen because Tyson can never seem to stay out of trouble. I'd like to see Lewis-Holyfield III.

That fight was poor. The first thing tyson said, was "that was a nice payoff"...17 million ain't too bad to get for getting the sh*t kicked out of ya huh? Both eyes swollen bleeding from the eyes and nose, I really doubt lewis would consider giving him another shot....there is just NO point. How do all you feel?....You think Lewis should give him another chance? Tyson asked for it about 2-3 times in the interview after the fight, and I just can't imagine lewis going for it...I mean, what does Lewis really have to gain from allowing him another chance?
spot on!

I don't think there will be a rematch simply because it will be too difficult to sell...even for Don King who I am convinced is 100% behind Tyson's bizarre behavior. It's obvious Tyson is a cash cow for King and by acting like crazed lunatic during pre-fight hype, his pay per views become coveted. I don't feel however that there is any reason for Lewis to offer Tyson a re-match. Both fighters are getting long in the tooth and even though Lewis is fighting well, he won't get any better. I say make way for the new cash crop. BTW...I agree with Jeff, Tyson in his prime with proper management would have knocked Lewis out. Hight and size were never a deterent to the young hungry talented Tyson of the late 80's. Now he's a ticket seller because he's nuts (or at least appears to be nuts)

I want a re-match!!! :D
tyson should have taken shots of adrealine and test suspension before the fight!!!

I think Lewis is gonna retire. He's rich, and he's proven himself time and time again. He's at the pinnacle of his career, he can only go down from here. I think he's very close to retirement, maybe one or two more fights max.

I agree with JP1570 I think Lewis will retire everyone doubted as to whether he would stand a chance against Tyson and he kicked his ass.Tyson and Lewis rematch I don't think Lewis would bother he has done what he set out to prove,why bother doing it all again?

Hasnt they both signed contracts that they are going to do 2 fights??
EXCESS

Nope, there's no rematch clause in the contract. Lewis has to fight Chris Byrd.
