    That's Tyson getting stopped imo.

    Lewis didn’t stop a shell of Tyson early.

    Holyfield beats the reckless wide open young Foreman easier than he beat old Foreman

    But Lewis fought a more prolonged, cautious fight, George wouldn't be holding back or anything like that.
    Tyson, if this is young Tyson, is more gung ho, he's trying to get George out fast.
    In the Lewis ft, he hung in long as he could, but he knew he'd lost it.
    Different circumstances.

    Lewis blasted Tyson with a clean uppercut early and he didn’t budge. It’s wishful thinking to expect Tyson to fold like Frazier and Norton. He wasn’t them. He wasn’t Lyle either.

    I am sure that he would make trouble Ali.
    But no so sure as to lose to George. Who knows...

    Agree with Tyson who specialized in runniing over Ali imitators. Really any better come forward smaller heavyweight with an erratic style, which was the toughest match for Ali but the easiest for foreman. Marciano maybe. Ali himself said rocky would trouble him but I see foreman splattering Marciano.

    Holy is a 50/50 fight with either of them imo.
