i would go for lewis. tyson was an animal but lewis was too big and skillful i think. in my book lewis was the best heavyweight ever!
Tyson old tyson won the first round against Lewis, and that round wasnt even a shadow of how much better/quicker he was in his prime. Also Tyson ate so many of lewis's punches even the final punch from lewis was a push that helped tyson to the ground.
Tyson would of slipped lewis jab a lot beter in his prime, had almost no head movement in there fight. Tyson just ate jab after jab and right hand from lewis,no head movemnt like in his prime.
Stick a poll up mate. Lewis is a great fighter, no doubt. However he's proved he can be caught with a punch and knocked out. Very few fighters can deliver a punch as accurate as a prime mike tyson and he certainly his harder than oliver and hasim. I pick tyson by 5th round ko.
Lewis TKO 10.. Lewis was big and very skilled.. Even through Tyson has a good resume, nothing points out that he could have beaten a guy like Lewis.. Same thing could probably be said about Lewis.. But i just have a gut feeling that Lewis would take it..
i have just joined so i just wanted to hear some opinions on it from some real boxing fans if thats ok with you!
