People want to know why Mike Tyson never fought Bob Sapp. It is said that it was a fight that almost happened. Why didn't it happen? The fight should have happened anywhere in any time in the ring. Now all people can do is question why the fight didn't happen and speculate who would have won.
I hate it when a fight between two great fighters doesn't happen. Money can be one of the reasons and excuses that boxing fights between the best doesn't happen.
Mike Tyson was willing to fight Bob Sapp. He told sapp to sign the contract. Bob Sapp glove touched Mike Tyson's cheek as he was trying to get to Mike Tyson in the ring, and that's as close as it gets to Bob having a fight with Mike Tyson. Mike Tyson said he would fight him that night and the Marquess of Queensberry. Bob Sapp told Mike that if he were to mess with him he would put his fuse out.
I think Bob Sapp should have signed that contract. They could have had a fight in the U.S., and there could have been a rematch for the loser, and there could have been a fight in Japan for the rematch. Bob Sapp is well known in Japan. If there had been a rematch, I think it would have been a great one. I believe in rematches. Especially if two great fighters have never fought each other before. The first fight would help a fighter to know his opponents way of boxing for the rematch. Everybody deserves a second chance. The loser can get an opportunity to fight for the boxing title back or prove that he is still the greatest. A fighter can learn from his mistakes and can come up with new strategies and can become more stronger and know what to expect.
A rematch would be great for the fans too. They keep the excitement going and would have great interest in the fight between two great boxes. They help keep the noise and buzz going in the news by attending the fight. The fans would have played a big role in the interest of a Mike Tyson and Bob Sapp rematch giving their opinions on which fighter is the best. It would have been a popular rematch and fight.
