    Both in their primes.
    Mike in his early 20's when he used to knock out everyone he faced vs the Lennox that beat Ray Marcer & Tommy Morrison for 15 rounds.

    Lewis mid/late KO/DQ.

    Relatively easy nights work for him. This is the Tyson that went the distance with shot bonecrusher Smith and had a close fight with Tillis.

    Lewis is a stylistic nightmare for Tyson at any part of his career.

    his style wasn't a nightmare for 20 year old tyson, he use to eat tall fighters for breakfast, were talking about iron mike, kid dynamite, the baddest man on the planet!!:admin not the Tyson after the Douglas fight that lost speed, power, footwork etc.

    I say Mike Tyson by knockout in the first 6 rounds,

    I don't see how Lewis stops Tyson from coming in and landing a big shot at some point. Lewis had a shakey chin, and Tyson was an awesome finisher.

    95 Lewis had only just been KO'ed by McCall so I'd favour a peak Tyson to KO Lewis in a competitive fight. Lewis simply hadn't had the time to fix his flaws under Steward at that point.

    I'd favour the Lewis of 97-00 to beat peak Tyson in a tough fight. Lewis' jab and uppercut will be enough to keep Tyson at bay.

    And that was the Lewis that was smoked in 2 by Oliver McCall :lol:. Lewis improved with Steward, he was at his peak a few years later.

    The style of Lennox Lewis would always give Iron Mike problems. Still, I think at that age Mike Tyson would still be favored to win.

    Had it been Lennox Lewis around 98-99 I think I would favor him to win though. He did mature quite a bit under Steward.
