Prime mike tyson vs prime lennox lewis

Its 50/50 i think u got lewis great jab and tyson with the head mov power punches, i wouldnt like to bet on it.

 

no doubt, tyson by 5 or less.

 

Tyson wins by TKO round 1.

Lewis never fought anyone as good as prime Tyson.

 

Who did Tyson beat that was as good as a prime Lewis?

 

I put much thought on this matchup back when I composed my greatest (with reference to H2H and peak abilities) heavyweight champions list. I long since got rid of my data, but if I recall correctly, I had the Lewis who fought Holyfield beating the Tyson that fought Biggs around 7 out of 10 times.

 

The only was Tyson would beat Lewis is with a baseball bat when Lennox isn't looking :deal

 

I'm going with Lennox Lewis in this matchup.

 

both of them fighting at their best, I see an ugly 12 round decision in Mike's favor . . . I say this because Lennox was never knocked out in his prime . . . when he was well prepared, which i assume he would be for Mike Tyson, I think it would be similar to the Bone Crusher fight, Lennox pulling out all the tricks and spoiling, but losing a clear 4-8 decision based on agression and punches landed

 

I will always take Lewis by Ko/TKO. But Mike always has the chance to close his eyes and hit him with a shot like McCall.

 

Tyson HIMSELF said Lewis was too big and too strong, and he would never have beaten him.

Buster Douglas showed everyone how to beat Tyson.... and Lewis did everything Douglas does just 10x better.

Tyson is the MOST overated HW of ALL TIME, he gets so many allowences it's untrue. He beat a bunch of bums in the 80's then Lost everytime he great oposition Holyfield and Lewis

Then got KTFO by domestic class boxer Williams and the never was Mcbride

 

IMO Lewis would beat any version of Tyson...Lennox would fight Tyson tall using his jab and clinch when needed...Lewis was a great boxer who had a thunderous jab followed by that crushing right hand (and uppercut whenever he needed it) Tyson would have his moments, no doubt about it but I just think Lewis is to much for Tyson.

 

This thread is refreshing...atsch

Lewis beat a prime Tyson and maybe even quicker. A prime Tyson take many chances to land a single shot and Lewis could spark him more easily. The Tyson that fought Lewis was hesitant and much more defensive.

 

Lennox was behind the points many times..his not so skilled at all. Altought Tyson is taylor made target to him

 

Bruno has been in with them both and he says prime Tyson KOs the overrated Lewis every time
