    Tyson would put Lewis to sleep in the 3rd round. I think the fight would be kinda quiet until Tyson finds away to get past Lewis' jab and all of a sudden Tyson lands a big punch in 3rd that got Lewis legs shaky, Lewis tries to clinch Tyson lets him putting his hands out to let the ref break it. Lewis still all messed up Tyson gets low and unleashes a combo 2 too the body and the left hook to the chin lays Lewis out, he tries to get up gallantly but the ref waves it off.

    He had stamina but no heart, and when on the inside LL's uppercuts, and power in the clinches would take Tysons spirit away from him.

    Of course he did. If you think you've ever seen a flawless fighter then you're either deluded or blind.

    Tyson was not truely tested in this era so we dont know what was between his ears. I agree that physically he was a beast, but this is only half the story when you fight the best.

    I go Tyson by stoppage.

    Edit: Winning by decision would be possible, but given that Lewis' chin was always right there to get rocked, Tyson would find it on many occasions - in a big way.

    He was always mentally weak. It just wasn't exposed by the guys he faced (who had issues of their own).

    He certainly was great, but saying he had no flaws is a little extreme. You have to look at how a fighter deals with different styles before saying he has no flaws. How would he have done with a big man who had a great jab and knew how to use his reach? How would he have done with a bigger/harder hitting slugger with a great beard? How would he have done with a highly skilled boxer who could take a punch and come right back, tie you up and frusturate you?

    Look at Shane Mosley. He is very fast, physically strong, has a chin, stamina, power, and heart. But that doesn't equal up to having no flaws. He struggled with 2 tall fighters with excellent jabs and the ability to use their reach and advantages.

    NO fighter in boxing history was/is flawless
