    I take it you're not a fan of Foreman then. As far as opposition goes, seems to me Lewis went through Ruddock a hell of a lost faster than Tyson did, but of course you have a built in excuss for that..naysayers always do.

    And as far as skills verses no skills go, I kind of partial to the fighter who takes his career seriously and focuses on both winning fights and creating a legacy. Both had lapses in that department, but Tyson more so. Hell at the end he was just showing up and opponents were practically falling down before the bell finished ringing.

    What does Foreman have to do with it neither Lewis or Tyson fought him? Tyson went through Bruno quicker than Lewis too? What does that matter?

    because you said you liked fighter who had skill instead of power..this is practically the definition of Foreman. And I don't know why this matters, but you're the one who brought up who when through who's opposition the fastest. It seems like I'm responding to a post you wrote but you either never read it or forgot about it.

    I think Foreman is another level to the Shannon Briggs and Mike Grants of the 90's??? Maybe you misread my post?

    V.K. is one of three dude's (Bowe, Lewis & V.K.) over 6' 5" tall who can actually stick, move, punch, take a punch and defend himself... Yeah, Klit is a tad robotic, but he still manages to get the job done by being a superior ring general... And, contrary to many folks' whine, V.K. isn't feasting on mere bums and stiffs... I just get so pissed with this topic...

    Lennox Lewis kills a prime Tyson every time.

    Every time Tyson stepped up to fight a great fighter he lost, it is as simple as that.

    Spinks was no Holyfield.

    Lewis has many great wins over great fighters....tyson has none.
