    Meh, mentally sure, but holyfield wasn’t as hard hitting as foreman. He’s gonna have to gain foreman’s respect. Same with prime mike tyson. I think these two clearly beat lennox in his prime, but i still maintain prime lennox and prime holyfield ends the same way as their other fights.

    Maybe, but Lewis hit harder than most of the fighters Foreman fought.

    Getting KO'd by a single shot, twice, is not something that's happened to many elite HW's.

    If that's not a flaw I don't know what is. Check the record.

    Complacent at times.

    He did use a lot of jab and grab and was a bit of a size bully. Something which he couldn't do in this giant era.

    That said I think prime Lewis beats prime Tyson. Much bigger, amazingly skilled for his size and wouldn't go in scared to deaf like a lot of Tyson victims. He always looked pretty good against guys he was a bit wary of and he'd definitely be worried enough about Mike to spend the hours in the gym before the fight.

    Mentality. Could have done more, was susceptible of switching off both in fights and in prep for fights.
