  1. People keep breaking up. He was the same at the incarceration. I don’t think they got nothing to do with it. Mike Tyson was into a lot of other things he was partying doing drugs drinking sex. Living the life.

  2. He was still in his 20s when he got out of prison and he was arguably in better shape when he got out then when he went in. Lennox Lewis is older than Mike Tyson. I’ve never seen so many excuses made for a world champion when they lost than I have with Mike Tyson. You can’t say Mike Tyson was past his prime when he got out of prison, when after he got out he won the heavyweight championship of the world when he got out of prison. People wanna make excuses for a guy that never really beat anybody great until he got in the ring with people that were great. Whenever Tyson was faced with equal to greater opposition he never fared well

  3. I wouldn’t expect anything less from the gentleman that is Lennox Lewis.
    Personally I believe he would have to be somewhere near his peak to have beaten Tyson c.1988 as Lewis’ career achieved year on year improvement until his eventual and timely retirement.
    Tyson’s went in the reverse direction.
