Comparing Tyson and Lewis' competition

I thought Tyson and King paid step aside money their genius or did you forget that ???

 

you just stated Lewis would have destroyed Tyson during his reign of terror in the late 80's and early 90's before he went to jail, I wasn't talking about the Tyson that came out of jail.

 

Hey, what are you trying to do? Confuse the Tyson huggers with logic :yep

They'll come back with devastating "arguments" like, "you ******ed," or "that's an ignorant post." Maybe they should include their own posts in the dumb post category - so they could win something in life. The guy you got into that pissing match with is a troll. I'll read and respond to guys like lefthook31, who offer arguments and don't act like an ass if you treat him in a reasonable manner.

 

That night in feb of 90 alot of boxers could of beat Tyson the man was out of it, he was clearly not the man of 85-89 who dominated fighters into submission. Alot of people forget Douglas fought Mccall for the right to fight tyson in japan the following year, Mccall would of definitely beat Tyson also, Douglas just happend to be there at right place and right time. Tyson just didnt beat his competition like Lewis, he destroyed his oppenents with all the rage and fury like a prime Dempsy, Tyson was the epitome of what a fighter should be.

 

Revisionist again.

Tillis, Green, Smith, Tucker all went the distance with Tyson.

All convenienlty forgotten. Guys talk like every Tyson fight was KO1 or KO2. Tyson was an awesome fighter without doubt. But he was fed a lot of scrubs to build up the aura around this KO machine too.


Are you telling me Lewis wouldn't blow out guys like Marvis Frazier too?

 

Yes Lewis would of blew out guys like Marvis, what im trying to say is yes Lewis gets the job down but not in the same manner as Tyson does, Tyson was probably th most physically complete fighter of all-time what he lacked was all mental. Name one fighter that was just as fast and as powerful as Tyson? And I know its not Lewis.

 

I don't know about that. I think Lewis' destruction of Ruddock, Golota, Grant and Rahman are on par with anything Tyson did. And I also thought Lewis' demantling of Vitali and Tyson were something to behold. The Lewis - Tyson fight was an absolute clinic on how to systematically break down a fighter. That first round was a classic and the strategy Lewis used which was to land devasting uppercuts and use his size and strength avantages was perfect. I'm not taking away anything from Tyson, he was definately entertaining, but he certainly doesn't have the versatility of Lewis, who could win by blowing out fighters (Rahman II, Grant, Golota), gutting out wins (Mercer), ring generalship (tua), or systmatically breaking a fighter down (Tyson, Vitali).
