Prime for Prime-Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson

Tyson either beats him quick or he loses, no way in hell is he surviving scary moments against Lewis. If Tyson encounters any scary moments it means Lewis has figured him out, that would be the beginning of the end for Mike.

 

Actually it would be the other way around, Lewis wouldn't be able to survive any scary moments against a superb finisher like Tyson, since that's exactly what he proved by getting starched twice by single shots. Tyson, unlike Lewis, could ship huge bombs without budging. His chin was much better. To better explain what "scary moments" mean, watch the Tyson-Ruddock slugfests to see Tyson shrug off bombs. Lewis wouldn't be able to absorb that kind of punishment.

 

Holyfield had the chin and will power to outlast Tyson.

 

Are you a teenager by any chance? I only ask because most adults know that if someone is in the public eye, but they keep themselves to themselves, and don't give the media anything, the media tends to invent stories about them, as was the case with Lewis, and his alleged s&£ uality.

A tip for you. When you buy any form of written media study the date, because that more or less ( sometimes they even get the advertising wrong ) is the only thing you can guarantee they have got right. The rest is merely their opinion.

 

Once Lewis gets the measure of Tyson he would be landing a hell of a lot more shots than Ruddock did against Tyson, Tyson either gets him out early or he loses and I can't see him knocking out a focused Lennox.

 

Great reply and i agree for the most part but to say he dominated from 93 to 03 isnt true at all regardless of what revisionist history says, you know like i know NOBODY was touting him as some force of nature in the heavyweight division, keep it real but very solid post

 

I can tell your a boxing fan and you know your stuff so chill with the ''fanboy'' bs and trolling antics as if being a fan of Tyson or whoever is a bad thing, imo it takes away from whatever point you are trying to make..And thats far from an reasonable claim because you know it isnt true, the titles were being passed from fighter to fighter, it wasnt until the end of the decade is when Lewis became the fighter most fans remember him as..You say junkies and whatever else nonsense as if Tyson or holmes had control over what other fighters did outside of the ring, Holmes dominated as well as Tyson whoever was in front of them and looked a hell of a lot better than Lewis did doing it

 

I've been a boxing fan since seeing the Leonard-Hearns cover of Sports Illustrated on a magazine stand rack in 1981.

 

They don't call you kid for nothing. Obviously you were too young to remember the Briggs, Morrison, Golota and Ruddock fights.

 

What are you talking about d*ckrider? I do recall those fights and whats your point geek? those fights somehow make Lennox more dominant than Tyson? yeah only in your mind is Lewis a harder hitter than Tyson..you're the biggest lame on this board, every thread your defending him like he is your dad or some ****.. you seem to think Lewis is above criticism and was some perfect heavy when he wasn't.. He was NOT head and shoulders above other heavyweights at any point in his career and the only place you will see this nonsense is online..now log into one of your aliases and say something funny weirdo

 

Exactly

 

Wow, the kid's having a tantrum. I guess in your pathetic world Tyson walked on water, never losses and is still the champ.

FACT is, Tyson's been KO'd more times than Lewis has.

Deal with it.

FACT is when they fought, Lewis kicked the **** out of him.

Deal with it.

FACT is when Tyson fought Holyield he was 0-2, while Lewis beat Holyfield.

Deal with it.

Fact is, Ruddock was competitive with Tyson and got annihilated when he fought Lewis.

Deal with it.

Sometimes reality sucks kid.

Deal with it.

 

And you want to tell other folks to stop with the " fan boy " and trolling. Now lets see what you actually are. Methinks you are the very same d%£k rider you accuse others of being, only in your case it is Tyson's d%$k you are riding. No one other than you cares whether or not you think Tyson did a better job of finishing his opponents than Lewis did. We can only go by who they both fought, and Tyson comes a very poor second in that department.

And yes Tyson did have more than his fair share of junkies ,and pi ssheads, and well past it fighters on his resume. Here are 4 fights in a row. Thomas, Tucker, Biggs, and Holmes. The first 3 all had drink, and / or drug problems, and Holmes was 38 when he faced the 21 year old Tyson.

 

Well, Tyson fought the better skilled men while Lennox fought the harder hitters. In all honestly, getting the mobile skilled men out of there the way Tyson did is a bit more difficult than beating the punchers with less skills. They both faced stiff comp and their accolades rank about even. I have Tyson one spot ahead mainly due to head to head and his domination in the 80's had no equal.

 

Now you're just talking out of your ****, Lewis trumps Tyson any day of the week because he actually did beat Holyfield and the man himself. Put prime Lewis in Tyson's championship fights and he would have reigned a hell of a lot longer than Tyson that's for sure.
