    I feel it would be much like the Tyson Mitch green fight only because of the tactics Green used and i know Lewis is much better than green in every way except chin, but Green is closest to the size of Lewis of a guy that Mike fought while he was young so that's why i'm judging with Green

    Lewis was scared shitless of Tyson and wanted no part of him during those sparring sessions

    The only version he could beat was the old, shot, zombie Tyson on antidepressants, cocaine, alcohol and every other illicit drug there is

    And he still needed 8 rounds ... even then his corner expressed great fear of him being KTFO if he didn't end it quick

    Mike knocked his teeth out ... you sure Lewis would take that kind of punishment?

    Green only survived because of his chin ... Tyrell Biggs was also the same height as Lewis and what happened to him? He fought more like Lewis too and had a comparable chin

    I said it would be like the Green fight because i felt Lewis would use the same tactics..... And i said Lewis was better than him in every way other than chin

    And he didn't fight more like Lewis if Lewis fought Tyson of young he would have kept his hands up high like he did in the Tua fight to evade the left hook Tyrell wanted to be Ali in that fight Lennox wanted to win, he would't of cared if it was boring

    Tyson would lay him eventually out and Wlad K in one exchange. His bob and weave murders Lewis's style. Mike bobed and weaved faster than Lewis's jab. Its the most destructive from of fighting a fighter can master and nobody mastered it like Tyson.

    Dino.

    What an absolutely nonsense!

    Wlad would make it a brawl and stop Mike in vicious slug festival before 4 round. Wlad would take Mikes best punches like they were candy.

    Only way Mike can beat Wlad is by poisoning him.

    Have you ever watch them fighting?:huh

    I used to be a small time fan of Wlad till i couldn't take it anymore.

    Wlad has 1 gameplan and it relies on his opponent to be in range. He has no plan b and he cant fend off fast aggressive pressure. He's not unbeatable, he has major and very obvious weakness. Mike blows through him. No contest.

    Tyson has 0 great wins, he is a nothing. Any version of Lennox Lewis brutalizes a prime tyson.
