Listen to what the fucking limey had to say about us:
from boxing.com
I knew it would happen. It was just a matter of time. Lewis called the first European shot by lashing out in an interview reported by the U.K. Sun. Lewis charges, "In a certain way, I am taking on America by fighting Tyson, this fighter they look on as some kind of icon." Ewww. Them damn yankees. They've got Hollywood, Manhattan, Microsoft, Spider Man and now they think they got the world heavyweight title on lock, too? The nerve.
Think about it. Lewis never complained so much about his status as international heavyweight master. Oh sure, when you're at the top you're always thirdly guessed, but this American loser, Tyson, 16 years removed from his own faded heavyweight supremacy, rusty and the undeserved number one contender, still sells out the Pyramid arena by breaking ticket records, while the casinos unfaithfully place Lewis a mere 2-1 betting favorite? By fight time, the odds probably will become even or could slightly tilt toward Tyson.
Forget his career, this becomes the fight that will decide whether Lewis is a heavyweight leader. And the American media partially sees Tyson knocking out Lewis. Hell, even American counterpart Evander Holyfield who crushed Mike Tyson the first time and who himself lost to Lennox Lewis twice, stated recently, "When Lewis fought me he just wanted to avoid getting hurt. But Tyson won't let him get away with it. Tyson just loves getting inside and hitting the bigger guys."
But then Evander drops the American bomb, "Mike will knock Lewis out. I believe that 100 percent."
That has to annoy the hell out of the Lewis, who has morphed into the British version of Rodney Dangerfield: "No respect".
On paper it looks like a mismatch so bad that Lewis should win with his eyes closed. But according to Tyson along with the Americans, Lewis is a British buffoon spinning his own version of the Canterbury Tales.
Here's the bed time story of the "London 'Brit' is falling down":

Upon reading this story, I agree, Tyson Is no longer the big bad wolf. I, like other Americans, must evaluate the morale of the story. Unfortunately, I was never good in reading between the lines.
And so, Tyson by knockout, Round 5.
