    Who was beter, Tyson in his prime or Lennox Lewis in his prime?

    In his prime, Tyson was unbeatable. In his prime, Lennox got knocked out by a journeyman.

    tysons prime was only a few years and his resume in that time wasnt great

    what made tyson great was who he was

    lewis dominated for longer, and everyone he lost to he rematched and beat

    what made lewis great was his reign at the top

    I'm not even being cliched here and asking this just for the sake of it, genuinely, how is this man a successful journalist in this sport? How? It is literally beyond me.

    I think you could definitely argue that prime Tyson was a better fighter but to say he was "unbeatable" and Lewis lost to "journeymen" is a sign of a huge lack of boxing knowledge.
