No man ever would have beaten Lewis on that night.

With a prime Lennox Lewis against a prime Holyfield and a prime Mike Tyson, I think Lennox would have still beaten both of them, because he was just too big for them and he had enough all around skills and a solid amateur background to match them also.

Steward

 

I know about that, and I know Golota wasn't in his prime anymore.
I know Golota had a nervous breakdown.
But that doesn't take away Lewis was "the man" that night.

Golota was also not the fastest starter...

Boy, Golota had such a wonderful jab before injuries
Shame he never lived to his potential.

 

I would say other than that, the fights where he realized he was losing and he made an adjustment. You know the fights with Vitali, which clearly he was losing. And I will be with Vitali and Wladimir and we will be together, and some people will ask, “Mr. Steward, who would have won if that fight had of continued with Vitali and Lennox?”

I said, “Lennox was going to win that fight”.

“Well, you know, Vitali was ahead”.

I said, “Ahead is one thing, but he had six rounds to go! In a heavyweight fight, and one fighter’s whole face is torn apart?”

I mean it’s ridiculous. There is no way he was going to win that. Lennox had been in those situations before and then came back.

But nevertheless Lennox was a guy that did what he had to do! I loved that about him. He would make his adjustments, and if you would say “do this” then he would do it. The fight with Tua, we knew that Tua was a little short dangerous guy, and he was going to be dangerous all the way, because he maintained his punching power from the first round to the last. Not like Mike after a certain amount of rounds, Mike’s intensity and punching power were kind of drained. Tua was a little slow guy, but he had punching power with them little short arms. We had a strategy to just go about a good technical for a good technical effort, and not to go for a knockout and take any risks. That’s why we fought that fight that way. But any time if I had changed the plan to get him out of there, Lennox would have gotten him out of there. That’s what made him special to me more so than all of the other heavyweights I’ve saw and worked with in history.

 

Size means everything. (Not talking about height)
I'm talking about a fighter his "optimum fighting weight", and having a higher "optimum fighting weight" is a big advantage..

There is a reason there are weightclasses.

 

Not 100% true,

the size difference isn't too big skill can trump size.
But Tua would pulverize almost every cruiser(sub 200) ever, even while lacking skills.

Also how much more skill does a prime Tyson have against a prime Lewis with Steward in his corner?
Lewis could adjust in a single round.

I don't really think Tyson wins the skill department either.
