    You get the picture. A 20 year old Tyson takes on a 1992 Donovan Ruddock,and a 27 year old Lewis faces a 1986 Trevor Berbick. And take each other's opponents in sequence from there.

    Since this would be Non-Steward Lewis, he might get caught by a bomb & be KO'd by Bonecrusher Smith or be decisioned by peak Tony Tucker.

    Personally I don't think 1992 Ruddock had the punch resistance he did in 1991 & previous years (thanks to his brutal wars with Tyson), so Mike should KO/TKO Ruddock early.

    All Lennox Lewis proved in the Razor Ruddock fight, is that he punched allot harder than Mike Tyson..! Razor Ruddock fought Mike Tyson like a ****** twice...walking forward in straight lines....throwing wide punches...no jab..!

    He was always going to get bombed out by Lennox Lewis.

    Even against Frank Bruno, it was really only one PUNCH, and one Left HOOK.....which ended it for Lennox Lewis.

    As soon as he landed that Left hook, Frank Bruno was basically knocked out standing up.

    Lennox Lewis would spark all of Mike Tyson's oponents, Lennox Lewis was more offensively minded back in them days.

    There's a chance he could get caught with a bomb, but thats just dreaming.......Lennox Lewis could take a punch, thats just a gamble people will be waiting for.

    Odd's are he would beat all Mike Tyson's oponents.

    :thumbsup

    Lewis's punching power is on another realm to Tyson's.
    Lewis has 30lbs of muscle adv And a ****-tonne more leverage.
    Lennox destroyed a better, fitter And cleverer version of Ruddock than teh one that almost KO'd Tyson. 1993 Lewis would have even bombed out 1989 Ruddock in 2 rounds - FACT!

    :thumbsup
    Even young Lewis would spark out-cold the guys Tyson couldn't -
    Tillis, Green, Ribalta, Tucker, Smith, Douglas etc.

    :thumbsup
    Lewis took haymakers from Tua, Briggs, Grant, Mavrovic, Mercer, Bruno, Vitali - without being actaully hurt from any of them. Lennox's iron chin is extreamly under-rated.

    And what did Lennox Lewis do to them..?

    Frank Bruno: Ended him with the first real power shot he landed, that left hook had Bruno knocked out on his feet. That was just one punch, up until that point the fight was the battle of the jabs, and i'm sorry...........but never once was Lennox Lewis hurt against Frank Bruno. You may get some footage of Lennox Lewis getting off Balance, because he was wild with his footwork......"Like Joe Calzaghe"....but he was never hurt.

    :lol:

    People just say this, because they like Frank Bruno.

    Shannon Briggs: Shannon Briggs was one of the fastest and hardest hitting punchers of the 1990's, Lennox Lewis was hurt, but he was still smiling at Shannon Briggs, and sparked him out aswell. There was a moment in trhe fight when Lennox Lewis mocked Shannon Briggs right hand, and then knocked Briggs to the canvas...!!! Not many mofo's could of did that at the time.

    Vitali K: Yet again, one of the hardest hitting punchers around today STILL, Lennox Lewis out of shape, took all that Vitali had to offer......and beat Vitali up, he bullied Vitali....!!! Vitali has never been bullied like that since, and has never been in a fight, where the other guy has taken it to him.

    The Bottom line is, Lennox Lewis proved against Razor Ruddock that he hit way harder than Mike Tyson. Notice how Razor Ruddick straight away in the Lewis fight, was tryig to move about, instead of walking forward like a compete ******.....like he did against Mike Tyson.

    Razor Ruddock was still sparked out..!!!

    All of Mike Tyson's oponents would of fought Lennox Lewis on the back foot, his size and reach and speed.....would intimidate them straight away.......they would fight Lennox Lewis different.

    People speak of a younger Lennox Lewis like he was some kind of a ******, he could box very well. And his movement was better than his steward days, he just got wild at times and wanted to bomb people out..!!!! which 99.99% of the time was bad news for his oponents.

    BAD NEWS.

    Did'nt Lennox Lewis face Tryell Biggs, and beat the **** out of him in the 1980's anyway.

    the only heavyweight whos record really stands up to close scrutiny is ali in regards of beating top class heavys at their peak all the others you can pick faults in .
