Guest Commentary

This evening the unexpected happened "Iron" Mike Tyson may have lost the fight tonight, but he has just won a war that has lasted for more than 10 years.

The media and all the Tyson haters have abused this "man" for over ten years yet this "man" Mike Tyson showed us all why he became the youngest heavyweight champion in boxing history.

The way Mike handled himself tonight made me glad to be a Mike Tyson fan!

He showed poise and sincerity when making his post fight comments with the ever arrogant Jim Gray (a complete Lewis fan, as we could all tell!). If anybody could get Mike mad enough to bite somebody again it would be this guy.

However Mike was not mad he almost seemed happy and thankful. First off Mike wants a rematch (he asked Lewis "please") you can see it in Mike's eyes he finally seems happy!

Nobody deserves to be happy more than Mike. Now that he is cash positive once again Ii would like to see him fight 3 more times and then say good-bye to boxing.

First fight I would like to see is "Tyson vs. Ruiz" for the belt , Tyson will win easy! Next a rematch with Holyfield this time Eddie Cotton referees to keep the world's dirtiest fighter (Holyfield) from cheating and Mike promises no biting, again he will easily defeat the now "washed up" Holyfield.

Last fight a rematch with Lewis , this one is for his taking if he really wants it. The way Lewis fought tonight showed us all that Lewis is no match for Mike if they fought blow for blow.

However fighting like a man it seems is against Lewis' beliefs, all mister Lewis wants is to hold on to (and lean on) his title belts. Mike did not say a word about his blatant holding and grabbing (the way Lewis did) behind the head.

The public deserves a rematch Lewis! Mike deserves it (he got Lewis paid!) If Mike did not fight Lewis there would be no big payday's for the now champ!

All that Lewis proved tonight is that he has a way longer reach than Tyson does, however he is only half the man Tyson is when it comes to guts and courage.

I think Mike should start making appearances on talk shows and start promoting his own line of "Mike Tyson" grilling machines.

Mike please don't retire!

The world of boxing needs you , it's fans need you without you there is no heavyweight worth watching (besides "Big Time"), all these fighters today seem to only care about making money , Mike cares about boxing that's why he acted the way he did tonight, all you "haters" that have abused this guy back off.

Whether you like it or not, "Iron" Mike is the people's heavyweight champion.
