"Haymaker Happy Hour" 1998 Lennox [Briggs-Fight] VS 1996 Tyson [Bruno2-Fight]

No, Tyson isn't invincible, but I think he's just that bit better than Lewis when he was professional and in shape.

 

By this time Tyson has lost enough that Lewis should be the clear favourite.

 

It was Tyson who was getting the better of Lennox when they first met.

Even Lewis concedes that. Lewis was able to get in his licks but Tyson was leagues better in 1984 and he was far more developed as a fighter at that time period.

In 2002, Tyson was finished as a fighter. Lennox was still formidable despite being on a decline.

1996/1998 versions of Tyson and Lewis fighting is a different story.

 

tyson of 2nd bruno fight by ko inside 5 rounds he wouldnt have let lewis off the hook like briggs did but the version who fought holyfield it is a 50,50 fight .

 

sorry but lennox lewis 96 would absolutely destroy mike tyson 96, no contest. evander holyfield wasn´t "marvelous" in 1996 and he exposed and humiliated tyson badly. the style of lewis would give problems to tyson always. prime mike 86-88 would have his chance because lewis didn´t have great chin. but i think lennox would be a hard match for mike ALWAYS.

 

in my opinion lennox didn´t have great chin, definitely he didn´t have iron chin, rahman and oliver knocked him out, frank bruno did hurt him seriously . bruno was a puncher but not a great finisher in my opinion.
if bruno could hurt lewis.. could lewis take bombs from foreman,joe louis,shavers or even a prime 86-88 tyson and survive?

 

lewis was a great boxer no doubt on it, he would have been almost invincible with iron chin, but honestly you put joe louis or foreman in the place of bruno against lewis and you get lewis ko
