A list of Mike Tyson`s heaviest opponents by their listed weights is below:

Oh geez,, Mike Tyson would kill Anthony Joshua and I couldn't see Fury doing much but grabbing and holding Mike when he came inside . Tyson lost to Lewis after he was done, though I'd still pick a focused Lewis to beat Tyson when he was at his best. If the same Tyson that knocked out Berbick was turned loose today he'd put more people in the hospital than covid -19.

 

Not sure how you can say that with a straight face after the absolute pasting Lewis gave Tyson but whatever. I loved watching prime Mike as well but Lewis always had the size, strength and skill to deal with Tyson. Could Tyson have caught and KO Lewis? Absolutely, Mcall and Rahman did but I would put my money on Lewis surving the early onslaught and beating the **** out of Mike as the fight went on.

Tyson always gets a pass from people. They just love to not give credit to the fighters that beat him late in his career. I call bull****. No excuses in this sport, Lewis kicked his ass and he did it in dominant fashion.

 

I agree that he was nowhere near his best but Lewis was the same age as well and not his best either. Not sure why you are referencing when Tyson was with Cus? Cus died before Tyson was even champion. Tyson would always be susceptible to Lewis's jab and uppercut l, prime or not. I wish we had film of when they sparred as kids.

 

Lewis peaked late, and he was defenitely at his best when he fought this mike.
Lennox matured later, and came into his best years, his prime, far later than Mike did. Like he said "Mike at the age of 19 ruled the world, but like a fine wine, I came along later on and now I'm the ruling man”.
The Lewis Who fought Vitali however........

 

I agree Lewis was better off than Tyson when they fought but I disagree that he was in his prime. The Tyson fight was Lewis 2nd to last fight. His next fight being the one against Vitali where he was clearly on the slide. The best version of Lewis to me was in the late 90's probably around 98 when he destroyed Golota, Briggs, Morrison and had that war with Mercer. By 2000 after he fought Tua he started to look uninspired with the Rahman fight being the most telling.
