Been watching Lewis fights, and man-o-man!

Thats not true, Lewis' admitted he would not stand a chance against Tyson at that time. His famous qoute throughout his career was "Im like fine wine I get better with years," or something like that. Lewis was a work in progress, while Tyson was almost complete at the time.

 

I've seen pics of them but no video. I'll buy your story if you produce a video.

 

He was taller, heavier and utilized his size much better. What the hell does KO% have to do with it? One clean punch? Oh right, the old "Lewis has no chin" myth again! Look at the list of punchers Lewis beat! Sorry bro, but you don't beat every fighter you've ever faced and the likes of Tyson, Tua, Briggs, McCall, Ruddock, Bruno, etc etc etc if you don't have a chin...unless you have the best defense EVER., His 2 KO losses were more a case of carelessness then lack of chin.

Tyson would be jabbed until his head almost falls off. He would be tired out badly by Lewis's size and stung repeatedly by straight rights and uppercuts. Lewis by TKO every time. Lewis is an awful stylistic matchup for both Tyson and Foreman.

 

Sorry thats wrong i am talking about when they where about 15, you might be talking about when they where older and lewis was still an amateur.

 

Lewis did say that about Tyson. But so what? If was when they were both kids atsch He didn't say he thought he would lose, he was just like "Damn, I hope I don't have to fight that kid", that doesn't mean ****.

 

Why is this so hard??...All you have to refer to is Lewis vs. Holyfield.

I like Lewis much more than Evander but you have to be a boxing fan

Is this a thread worshiping Lewis or an objective thread about Lewis greatness??

The thread title is vague

 

Goooood luck pinning down an answer for that one :rofl :rofl :rofl Holyfields prime? Well his nuthuggers would probably say his "heavyweight prime" lasted for the second Bowe fight :deal His 2 losses to Bowe, his loss to Moorer and his losses to Lewis are all excused :nut

 

Didn't Tyson's trainer said that they sparred together when they were 17 and they had to take Tyson out of the ring, because Lewis got to grips with Tyson, was outboxing him with ease and was toying with him....in the end making Tyson lose his rag and shout 'Hit me, you mother****er'

 

I have seen the video mate and he says that after the first round of sparing and then he came out and got the better of tyson. This was at the same time when cus said they would fight each other in the senior ranks.

 

Yet Lewis in his prime had serious trouble with both Bruno and Briggs almost being knocked out him himself early on, so your telling me a prime Tyson couldnt do what both Bruno and Briggs were able to do?

Lewis' is a great fighter, but his legs always buckled when blasted with a good punch, a prime Tyson would of did that and more. I respect your opinion and could see your point be niether you nor I will ever know what really wouldve happend between these fighters in there prime, so the best we can do is speculate on what would happen.

 

You are always reasonable...Id put lewis at 6

 

Here's the quote....

So even at that age of 18, Lewis had the measure of Tyson.
