    Firstly, he's not 'mad'.

    Secondly, I'd probably give his point of view here a little more weight than yours, though that's just my view, others may feel differently.

    Still, it's all about opinions, but your 'mad' comment is crass at best.

    Tyson always had a problem if (and I know it's a massive IF) the other guy didn't fall over. Lewis in about eight.

    He ground out a fair few results though himself, the Bonecrusher one that springs to mind.

    In his peak years, I think the fans were the ones that had the problem if the other guy didn't get splattered in a few rounds

    I agree at one point he was a wrecking ball and destroyed whatever was in front of him, the best bully ever , but Lewis showed how weak bullies are when they did get it on .

    IMO .... If a prime Lewis had got into the ring on the night Tyson fought Spinks then he would not have lasted 4 rounds .

    Lewis was too upright and Tyson would of got under that jab and thrown fast combos and i just dont think Lewis would have been able to handle Tyson that night.

    Just my opinion. :good

    What's the big deal about Michael Spinks..? He beat a demotivated Larry Holmes in the first fight, and then in their rematch. Larry Holmes had Michael Spinks vomitting in between rounds...? And was robbed, and in disgust walk away from the sport.

    Lennox lewis fought and beat better fighters than Mike Tyson ever fought and beat. Lennox Lewis was just too big, to fast, and too skilled.

    I've always believed a Prime Mike would have knocked out Lewis.

    Prime Tyson was too fast for Lewis I think, would have chewed him up
