    Lewis by KO, round 11. Would also take some shots from Tyson in the beginning and be off balance, but would survive.

    Their primes came at different times, with Tyson's around late 80s and Lews' arounf late 90s. Prime vs prime, Lewis has a 30 lbs advantage, has 13" reach advantage and hits considerably harder. Lewis is stronger too, he would tie up Tyson pretty well on the inside. So prime vs prime, Lewis by KO.

    The earliest time this fight had a real chance of happening around mid 90s, Lewis was not too consistent then and Tyson look invincible and was not exposed by Holyfield yet. That time, it was thought that no one could take the punch of Tyson. If this fight happend in mid 90s, Lewis would have fought a wrong fight - Tyson by KO.

    I disagree. Tyson in the mid-1990s I feel was mostly living off reputation. I believe it's most likely that Lewis would've exposed him if he had gotten the chance instead of Holyfield

    According to Asser69 whoever doesn't believe Tyson is Godzilla is an alt and a Tyson hater, he also makes up bull**** lies about their sparring session. Tyson at first gave Lewis a bloody nose but the more they sparred Lewis started taking over until it was like a cat playing with a mouse just like when they met in a real fight. Lewis knocks out Tyson after inflicting a severe beating!
