    What about Bruno, what about Biggs? They're also Tyson fanatics? According to reports, he was also significantly better than Lewis in their sparring sessions, even though Lennox was a more experienced super heavyweight and Tyson a less experienced heavyweight.
    You're right about Holyfield. I can't find that Evander quote; I confused it with the "Best Faced" series, where Evander says the best fighter he's faced is Riddick Bowe. He wasn't talking about Tyson or Lewis.
    And McCall's statement is still much more credible than your opinion, just like the pure facts – Lewis, at his peak, had the highest P4P rating of 8th, while Tyson was 1st. That ranking was made by experts, my friend, not fans.

    This is wonderful, John, but I won't even mention Douglas after Rooney because I'd be as idiotic as you.

    This thread is about Tyson from the Spinks fight and Lewis from Golota, but we have to mention Douglas and we can't mention McCall ;)

    Mike is not hitable as Andrew, more speed, better combos and a slightly better chin.
    Tyson wins.
