another prediction from BoxingChronicle.com....

Lennox Lewis KO1/DQ1 Mike Tyson (WBC/IBF Heavy)

June 8 - PAY-PER-VIEW

Our first and foremost predicition is that this fight will not happen. If Tyson's handlers can somehow get the ex-champ in the ring, he will either be knocked out immediately or get himself DQd. Let's look at the facts: Since biting Holyfield, Tyson has had six fights: four against white heavyweights, plus matches with cruiserweight Orlin Norris and unranked Julius Francis. He's 10 years older, 25 lbs. lighter and 3 inches shorter than Hasim Rahman. Plus, Tyson's pot smoking and strip club training regimen mean that he hasn't been in or near top shape for almost half a decade. Worst of all, he won't even get paid for this fight. Look for Tyson to bob and weave and throw wild crazy bombs for about 60 seconds. Then he'll start breathing hard and either get knocked silly or else get himself thrown out.
