    '96 Tyson ducked Lewis and boxed Seldon instead. Fact.

    Says it all really :drooling:.

    with Lewis I think 88 Tyson could do better, Lewis became slower later in his career and I think the faster coming in Tyson could overwhelm him with combinations, and once Tyson was in his pocket for uppercuts Lewis would have to create space to avoid getting caught, whereas Holyfield stays in and bangs and still probably comes out on top
