No he didn't. He was crying to his corner to stop the fight.

@@thespy7795 Try fighting a dude who hits hard enough to break a normal humans skull with one solid punch, now try doing that while blind.

@@ThatMf0 Who was blind???

@@thespy7795 you bozo💀

​@@thespy7795 Tyson fucking said his eyes were closed in the end. He got blinded by his swollen eyelids.

He was dead serious probably.

@@varaangsinghshut up

Joke ??

that wasnt a joke dude

True but probably wasn't a joke

Lmao...

Jesus Christ is not Mike tyson.

Funnily right before the fight he was telling Lewis that he was going to eat his children.

Completely agree really wish they could have fought prime to prime in my opinion prime mike was damn near unstoppable but Lenox Lewis was a beast too

Thats a whole lot of excuses for, not as good, cry fanboy.

@@mattc5647 not really, it’s the truth

​@@mattc5647 Lol weirdo.

​@@mattc5647 your comment just says you don't understand boxing...

Because he knew Lennox and what he was capable of. They actually knew each other since being teenage amateurs. Lennox was being shipped around training for the Olympics and both were just too much for their sparring partners so he ended up sparring with Tyson in Cus's gym. Afterwards, according to Tyson, Cus told him something along the lines of "You're gonna have to fight that guy for real one day".

Very true

Factz because didn't nobody wanna fight Mike until he got out of prison and was all fucked up on drugs

@@dennisallen3721 mike tyson dodged Lennox Lewis in his prime in 1980s before he was going to prison when he was the champion not once but multiple times

@@TypicalIndian1981 stop the cap didnt none of them want no parts of Mike until after prison keep it a buck

@@dennisallen3721 I’m not talking cap mike paid Lennox to step down from fighting tyson multiple times search it yourself

The Mike Tyson you know and love only beat jobbers and was overhyped and well marketed - Mike Tyson’s Punchout! Tyson lost to Buster Douglas. He definitely would have lost to Holyfield, Bowe or Lennox which is why he ducked them.

@@Drummer8282I’m a boxing fan and while I agree with your list, Lennox ducked Tyson because Lennox could’ve forced Mike to fight him since it was Lennox choice to accept the money or make Tyson fight. Also Tyson didn’t fight just jobbers, he fought a couple of fighters who were undefeated and hurt them so bad he ended their careers early. As much as I think Lennox would’ve beaten Tyson in his prime, it’s been well documented that Lennox was scared of Tyson since golden gloves. I even think George Foreman could’ve beaten Tyson. lol.

@@Drummer8282 lol Lennox loss to Oliver McCall 2nd Round Knocked Out and Hasim Rahum knocked him out in the 5th. Both were nowhere near a prime Tyson. Mike Tyson in his prime (early 20's) was the most well rounded, fast, powerful and precise boxer in the History Boxing and people who deny it are absolutely delusional. Tyson was an absolute machine and nobody has come close to that level since and may never..

@@weirdo24-7 The precision machine Tyson that peaked very early in life could have beat any of your Boxing Hero's, sorry..

@@Snide01 Anything is possible but not likely. Tyson didn't fight legendary boxers until his decline after cuss died. He wouldn't stand a chance against Sugar Ray Robinson, Riddick Bowe, Ali, or George Foreman. Tyson is a legend and is great but he didn't go the distance like these fellows to show strength and toughness to fight as long or as many other legendary fighters. Tyson doesn't have that kind of record or talent to back up your claims. You might want to consider yourself a Tyson fan at this point and not a boxing fan.

More respect ❤

No lo creo. Lewis no tenía nada qué hacer al lado de Mike en sus buenos tiempos. El único que podía darle una gran pelea a Mike es David Tua. Lewis los cogió a los dos ya cuando iban de salida

Lewis is older than Tyson

@@travzimmerman1340You can be 40 years old and be in your prime, with well conditioning Mike Tyson didn’t want to fight anymore when he got out of prison, he held back a lot in the Mathis jr fight right after fighting Peter mcneeley because he discovered that he didn’t have this urge to fight anymore. Keep in mind, he fought Mathis 7 years before the fight. You can even see Tyson unable to fight and struggle a ton because he simply can’t pull himself together to fight again.

@Somedudeonaiphonechilling8971 cannabis does that to you, making Tyson lazy without urge to fight.

Lennox was a greater fighter

Not as good as Lennox

@@Matriarchy_Feminism And Lennox was not as great Holyfield

@@earth7551 He dominated and defeated Holyfield

@@Matriarchy_Feminism You are smart enough to know holyfield was past his prime And no holyfield won the rematch

He dodged him in his prime

I know what you mean. Tyson waited until Lennox was out of his prime and Lennox STILL DESTROYED him.

@@custardsponge535 I think you're right. Tyson dodged Lennox when Lennox was in his prime. Tyson also dodged Foreman, Mercer, Cooper, Tua and Morrison.

@@thespy7795 tyson was in his prime when he dodged lennox

Mike dodged him multiple times lol

They are the most complete boxers of history and dominantes the two greatest eras of boxing in HW category. Mike was an amazing entertainer tho and the greatest KO artist imho.

No he isn’t, he’s not better than Ali, he’s not better than Foreman, and he’s definitely not better than prime Tyson. The Tyson that found Lennox Lewis was high on weed, cocaine, he barely had any sleep, and he had been neglecting his training for a long time. 20-22 year old Tyson would’ve 100% won that fight.

@unknownplite I love when you guys believe in people more than they believe in themselves. It's cute. It's like suspension of disbelief. Tyson said with his own mouth he has never been a match for Lennox. Even at 16 years old. Cuss, his trainer, agreed, he was the one who sponsored the week long training camp. It matters not. What matters is, you support, a cocaine user, a wife beater, a rapist (maybe even though he was convicted, maybe he was lied on), an ear biter, with no real honor in the sport over a guy with a better record, why because he wasn't American? I actually like Tyson, but come on... I see why everyone bandwagons Ali. Tyson has shown he is a complete nut case, like Trump, but he is still loved by so many... I just don't get. The facts are... Lennox has a better record. It can not be changed.

@@tron1007r I don’t support who he was in the 90’s or the early 2000’s. He was surrounded by bad people. I don’t believe he was ever a rapist or a wife beater. The judge himself said he wouldn’t have convicted him after learning more about the case. His wife was just after his money. But that doesn’t matter. I support who he was in the 80’s, and who he is now. Lewis is definitely one of the greatest fighters of all time, but I still don’t think he would beat Tyson in his prime. The Tyson that he fought was a completely different fighter. It had been a decade and a half since had really focused on fighting like he did in his prime. He lost almost all of his technique, his power, everything. He was also on a lot of drugs, and was dealing with numerous personal issues at the time. He was in no shape to fight. You just can’t compare those two versions of Tyson. I’m not saying any of this out of lack of respect for Lewis, or respect for the version of Tyson that fought Lewis. I just simply believe that Lennox Lewis is not the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, and that Mike Tyson at 22 years old would have beaten him.

@@tron1007r And there’s no reason to personally insult me. You don’t know anything about me.

@unknownplite Quick question, why would big and bad in his prime Mike Tyson pay Lennox Lewis 4 million dollars in 1996 to get Lewis to step aside? Then right after that he dropped the WBC belt anyway. REASON: He knew he could not beat Lewis. Check the KZfaq video The 4 million step aside deal. Do some research before you suck on Tyson's nipple. Tyson couldn't kill Razor like Lewis did and everyone understood that.

T. Thompson YEP; that would be good for Wilder.

You're nasty, his clothes were too heavy😄

False. Lennox peaked later . Mike from 85-97 would have beaten lennox. 2002 both mike and holified were washed up

​@@kennykross3306 Clueless casual, Tyson paid Lewis $4,000,000 step aside money and vacated his belt (both in '96) so he wouldn't have to fight Lennox. Lewis was always better.

@travzimmerman1340 not in 96 clown ,mike had won wba and wbc title . Lennox only peaked later . Mike stays still beat 96-97 Lennox.

@@kennykross3306 So why he couldn't beat Lennox in 84 ? Also the Lennox peaked later, is a late bloomer etc. argument makes no sense, they began boxing around the same time and Lennox was already better. He beat him in sparring, then they both went to Olympics, Lennox won gold but Mike failed to qualify twice. That's not what I call peak later. Mike had no choice to go pro and was lucky to find a pretty weak opposition in the 80s. Then the gold medalists came back to pro and manhandled him.

@@dirtyandnasty9011 mike 80s kills lennox all days clown

Exactly. Had a strong bottom too

He knew what to expect they already sparred in 84. He couldn't beat the skinny 84 Lennox so not surprising he didn't want any part of 116kg Lennox😅

He wasn't scared of Lennox Lewis or anything. He just got beaten at the end.

I don't see a lot of them throwing excuses for that. People are rather amazed by the fact that Tyson didn't make any excuse for his loss.

No he wouldn't. Lennox was past HIS PRIME. You idiot fanboys have an excuse for EVERY Tyson loss. Sickening.

@@thespy7795 😂😂 do you even know when did Lennox Lewis became a pro and had his first match in 1989. Tyson's first match was in 1985 Tyson was an early bloomer and Lennox was late bloomer. He had all seen all shit in his life once he married Robin givens and went to jail and came back in 1995 and had a gap of 4 years. When did his first loss come in 1990 after he had all shit with Robin givens he didn't even train for the match and didn't sleep too and that too Tyson has lost the match due to referees counting delay. What do you think will happen to a boxer once he was in jail for 4 years. He had match with Lennox in 2002 which is 17 years after he had his first match. Once he was out from prison he lost his speed and his body movements became slow in peekaboo style

@@sudeepkummarakunta8494 I don't read excuses. This isn't a courtroom. Another fanboy with excuses.

@@thespy7795 Ya thought so u don't know anything else apart from saying fan boy

@@sudeepkummarakunta8494 I know he got his ass whipped. Knocked out FIVE TIMES! BUM!!

No one called him any of that in the 80's ......u never heard anything like that. Just was he going to be the best ever? Unfortunately cus died.. Don King ....Robin Givens....the dope. Remember he was a kid ...litterally . The stars aligned against him...he is a treasure to boxing and america

Tyson was always humble after defeat.

I agree this is a problem but in the other hand some guys will never fight anybody and that's also a big problem, I don't know if there's a solution. Imagine Tyson Fury, he never fights despite having so many opponents available, imagine if he could only fight the guys over 115kg he would have fought only once in his entire career 😆

Shut up yt boi
