Lennox Lewis on Facing Mike Tyson & Vitali Klitschko

Don't think it's ever been mentioned.

 

Lol Lewis comes across as kind of cocky here, but he's achieved so much in his life I suppose he could afford to. I still think Prime for Prime Iron mike would of stopped him in a great fight

 

Lewis was one dimensional and prime Tyson would of crushed him.

 

*have

 

I wouldn't of noticed that mistake.

 

Agree Lewis is an ATG and can be cocky. He is right about the Buster Douglass
blueprint and the uppercut being key against Tyson. I mean Mike was way more
faded than Lewis and of course Lewis isn't going to mention that because its
his legacy win. Lewis is a beast H2H he can box he can brawl and had a lot
of classic fights. IMO one of the most exciting heavies ever. I see Lewis always
TKOing both Klits, but a preprison Mike is gonna win.

 

A true heavyweight great. I wouldve picked Lewis on his best day to beat Tyson on his best day.

 

Top 3 H2H ,
gr8

 

He claims he's a 5 dimensional fighter , then only lists 3 dimensions.
Tyson was a boxer , fighter mover as well, and better in those 3 areas.

He says Tyson needed to look for his opponent and hunt them down, he knows well if somebody come's forward on Mike they are going to get knocked the **** out. That interview is riddled with subliminal bitterness and awareness that a prime Mike would of been too much for him.

Lewis should be proud of himself that he stands next to Danny Williams and Kevin MacBride in taking out a shadow of Tyson.

 

Tyson was one dimensional because thats all his build afforded him.

Would LL have been a pugilist specialist if he was the same build as Tyson? i dont think so

And also LLs ranking isnt that much higher than Tysons, granted he managed and finished his career much better, both of them have many mutual opponents.

 

So all fighters short in height are one dimensional?? Thats some stupidity if ever i heard it.

 

This thread has potential.

Prime Tyson takes out Lewis...makes him **** his pants in the process :deal

 

Lewis says he would have beat any version of Tyson, sorry im not buying this.

Lewis, as great as he is, was **** scared of the version of Tyson he fought in 2002, a guy Danny Williams disposed of in half the time.

You telling me Lewis is gonna handle a Tyson of the Berbick fight?

BIG Difference between Tyson of 86 and Tyson of '02

 

Fighters are the worst judges of the guys they've fought. Chris Byrd was recently on the podcast Mohr Stories and he claims that he would beat Wladimir Klitschko 98 out of 100 times. It's just an unfortunate accident that the two times in a hundred he'd lose came the first two times they fought.
