(Prime) Mike Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis

Personally i think Lewis would beat him.

 

As usual l agree.

 

I think Lewis size is very beneficial here, not because he was BIG but because he could fight as well.

Lewis would steadily tire and frustrate him both mentally and physically. You have to stifle his free time in his beloved midrange. You have to have the stones to punch as he comes swinging into that midrange and tie him up, lean on him, wear him down. If you let him have his way in attack you are a goner. You have to combat him with your own heavy punches but you also have to tie him quickly rather than trade for extended mini periods. Man handle him in close.

Lewis and Holyfield have all the tools and strategy to give the best version of Tyson plenty to think about. Holyfield's game plan was brilliant. Even at his finest the same performance would choke Tyson imo.

 

As much as I don't like the big man domination of the Heavyweights in the last two decades, I think a prime Tyson would always have great trouble with quality big men like Lewis.

 

I am currently watching Tyson vs Tyrell Biggs for my next article and Biggs would jab to get Tyson's head moving and he caught him clean quite with straight rights a few times when he slipped inside. That is suicide against Lewis.

 

1988 Tyson would beat any version of Lewis

 

one apeice, tyson stops lewis early, lewis narrowly outpoints him rematch.

 

lewis vs mercer says alot.

 

This one has been done a lot.

But, yes, he could.

Tyson by mid rounds ko.

 

Could beat him but I think he loses far more often than not.

 

Tyson would fold mentally fairly quickly I'd say, Lennox of course has to be careful in the early rounds, once he weathers the early storm he'd do a slow demolition job on Tyson similar to how the actual fight between them went down.

 

Tyson

 

Tyson has too many windows of oportunity.

 

Just one big shot to lennys face needed. If Tysons lands the pinklon Thomas combinations to lenny face, Lenny will never want to come back into the ring again
