Official ESB POLL: Prime4Prime Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis

hard one this.... i vote for Lewis

 

Tyson with confidence.

 

I think Lewis takes this, lets face it he wasnt in hs prime either when the two fought, i think Lewis was the best of this era by a country mile

 

Tyson KO3.

During the 3 years that Iron Mike was good...he was a fkin beast. Lewis was always overrated IMHO. Even when Lennox was at his very best I think Mike woulda got on the inside with ease and put him to sleep.

 

Lewis ( if he is at all) is only slightly ovverrated but besides... This^^

Not the best chin. Defensive skills not THAT good to withstand such a storm.

 

But you could argue in the 3 years Mike was on top he didnt really beat a top flight fully fleged prime HW bar Spinx, in fact the only one was an overated Spinx, he fell short against Douglas, Holyfield x2, Lewis

I think Lewis was more proven and would win either a UD or late KO prime for prime

 

I think Lewis would be able to keep him at arms length and tko him late on like he did when tyson was not in his prime. But if Tyson be in his prime could get inside he would knock him out.

 

I somewhat remember hearing about they're early sparring days when Lennox first met Mike... Or did Lennox opt out of sparring him... can't remember. In any case, I think a prime and focused Tyson tears the brit up, no contest...

 

Haha but the Holyfield fights were a good 7 years after Tyson's prime. His mental/money troubles were well documented for the Douglas fight (the very end of his prime was the 8th round of that fight.) Spinx was no world beater but he was champ at the time. Tyson knocked the **** out of Holmes (Who later fought competitively with a fresher Holyfield than Mike fought).

Lennox had a better career over all, but Mike was just scary when he was the man. Scary.

 

Lewis's absolute prime?

Lewis nullifies Mike and KO's him late.

Lennox.

 

tyson ko 2. the knockout would look similar to lewis-rahman 1
