| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | All i have to say to Lewis is...fight Wladimir Klitchko (sp?). That would be a great fight, and i think Wlad would win it, which is why Lewis doesnt want to fight him. Tyson is no match right now, he needs more prep work to fight Lewis, another sudden rematch would produce the same result, if not more dominating, by Lewis. Lewis wants $30 million for rematch with Tyson July 12, 2002 LONDON (AP) -- Heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis would take a rematch with Mike Tyson if organizers guarantee him $30 million. Lewis knocked out Tyson in the eighth round of a fight last month in Memphis to retain his WBC and IBF titles. Each fighter was paid $17.5 million. Lewis appeared to leave open the possibility of a rematch -- if the price was right. ``People don't want to see that again because of the way I destroyed him,'' Lewis said after receiving the Commander of the Order of the British Empire from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace on Friday. ``People felt sorry for him. He's already put in a bid for a rematch but it's up to the TV companies. If they don't pay $30 million, I will retire. ``This is the perfect opportunity to retire, and it's the pending question. Retirement is definitely floating around as an option for me, but we will have to see.''  Thanks to Austin for the pic 1. 94 Wins and NL East Title by the Mets this year 2. Hate the Braves with a passion 3. All 5 Starters have winning records this year 4. Mets win World Series 5. Go 51-24 over the last 75 games of the season, it can happen right?

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 02 | If the public showed so much interest in the last fight, then why not do it again? 30 million for one fight seems a bit steep though. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | What a pussy. Fight whatever that guys name is. They will not do it again because for the first fight there was hype and what will Tyson do. WIll he hit him with a chair, bite his ear, bute his leg. Tyson was a big pussy wiping the blood off of Lewis's cheek and saying how mcuhh he loves. Tyson's entire persona changed after that fight. He looked a desperate broken down fighter. This message was edited by TeenWeek on 7-12-02 @ 10:35 AM | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 01 | He's scared to fight Klitschko, and everyone knows it. He wants to change the subject by fighting Tyson again. I hope he fights Tyson, doesn't retire and fights Klitschko. He'd get his ass kicked, and I hope he gets shot in the street after his next fight. | ||||
