    If Lewis could avoid him for three rounds I'd say he could beat him but avoiding Tyson that long pre prison years was not easy. I see it as a pick em fight if they fought 100 times I think each would win 50 if you get what I mean.

    Tyson imo. For approx 3 years I'd have picked him over any heavyweight in history.

    Lennox Lewis.

    Stylistically Mike Tyson was always easiest for Lennox Lewis. Guys like Riddick Bowe, and Evander Holyfield would of gave him more problems........"Always"

    **** thread by the way mate.

    Nothing personal, i have nothing against you.

    This is not the classic forum.

    Raw power..? Lennox Lewis fought, took punches off fighters with just as much raw power as Mike Tyson.

    Lennox Lewis had one of the better chins of the 1990's, he got up against McCall and should of been aloud to carry on in my opinion. And he ran into a bomb against Rahman, and even though he was counted out! he got to his feet just after the count. Lennox lewis was never EVER knocked out cold, apart from Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis has faced arguable more big hitters in his career than any other heavyweight in history.

    Buster Douglas did not have a IRONCHIN..? And he beat Mike Tyson.

    Lennox Lewis out of shape, and VS a game Vitali Kiltschko proved how tough he was.

    "Lennox Lewis would hit Tyson harder, and faster than anyone he had ever faced"

    Tyson lost to every great fighter he faced, he also lost to several journeymen.

    Lewis wins easily every time.

    Bruno was in with them both. When asked who would win prime for prime he said that Tyson would win every time.

    Tyson. People allow what happened to Tyson cloud their judgement of just how good Tyson was. For 3 years he was as good as anyone ever, and much to much for any version of Lewis IMO.

    Tyson can always beat him 1 out of 3 but prime Lewis had his number.
