    How do you think prime (1986-1989) version of Mike Tyson would fare against prime Lennox Lewis' opponents in his title reing and how Lennox at his best would fare against Tyson's opponents in his title defences? Both have defended their titles 9 times, so my quesion is, how do you see PRIME Mike Tyson doing against:

    - Henry Akinwande
    - Andrew Golota
    - Shannon Briggs
    - Zeljko Mavrovic
    - old Holyfield
    - old (but better prepared) Holyfield
    - Michael Grant
    - Francois Botha
    - David Tua

    And how 1997-2000 version of Lennox Lewis would fare against:

    - James Smith
    - Pinklon Thomas
    - Tony Tucker (much better version than the one he actually fought)
    - Tyrell Biggs
    - old Larry Holmes
    - Tony Tubbs
    - Michael Spinks
    - Frank Bruno
    - Carl Williams

    Lennox Lewis beats all of Tyson's opponents and Mike Tyson beats all of Lewis's except Holyfield, yes, even the Holyfield of the second Lewis fight, Holyfield technically had Tyson number
