    And a lot of the time tyson was actually throwing punches whilst working his way inside, Mormeck didn't do ****.

    The Tyson who faced Lewis was not the Tyson who faced McBride.

    Yes it pretty much was, just sayin'.
    I'd also like to say that styles make fights.

    And a lot of people would'nt be knocked down by Joey Archer.

    Whats your point?

    My point is the Tyson that Lewis fought was marginally better than Mormeck. He had 1 fight in 2 years against Brian Nielsen, and he was about 13 years removed from his best days.

    a) Wlad and Lewis both were safety-first and knew how and when to clinch.

    b) It's absurd to compare 2002 Tyson and 2012 Mormeck. Tyson was very past his best, but still better than the current Mormeck.

    c) 2002 Tyson is one of Lewis' best wins. 2012 Mormeck won't be remember in that way on Wlad's record...It was just a stay busy fight.

    Mike Tyson who fought Lewis would knock Mormeck out in the first round.

    1) Tyson had thrown more punches in the 1st round alone than Mormeck during the whole fight. While clinching is something I do not like anyway, clinching someone who even doesn't throw a punch looks much morse than clinching somewhat dangerous opponent.

    2) Lewis was also way more active than Wlad - at least there was some action other than clinching. Apart from hugging (and keeping Mormeck away by keeping his extended hand on his head, which is also not legal) Wlad was almost as inactive as Mormeck.

    Tyson isn't a top 5 Lewis win and more importantly Wlads best win arguably wouldn't make Lewis's top 5.

    Ruddock
    Holyfield
    Vitali
    Tucker
    Tua

    Hell I'm even tempted to say Rahman and Briggs too.

    Oh, and THAT Tyson would def be a Wlad top 5 win, maybe even top 3.

    Man look Tyson wasnt shot when he fought Lewis. Ppl need to stop with this sh4t. Tyson became a shot fighter when he messed up his knee terribly. And ever since that knee messed up Tyson, Williams took advantage and ko Tyson in 4. Then in tyson last fight, you can see clearly Tyson messed up knee ruined him when freaking Kevin tko Tyson. Two healthy knee Tyson would have ko Danny Williams in 3.

    I disagree, Tyson was beyond shot then, Nielsen took him past 6 rounds a year earlier.
