Would a prime rahman be able to outbox a tyson from the lewis fight?he did that with tua who had a similar style like tyson...
Probably, Tyson became a really average boxer after he came out of jail and dropped Kevin Rooney as a trainer
I think so Mike was not in shape for Lewis didnt have the motivation to win that was re confirmed in the Danny Williams fight, I think Rahman would have knocked out Mike but that would have taken the Rahman from Lewis 1 and not the Rock from the rematch with Lewis
Read this as 'Batman vs Tyson' so tired ffs. Rock is under-rated on this forum. He could, IF he gets through the first four rounds, which I doubt.
Tyson tears Rahman apart in a one sided fight. Never has one fighter gotten so much out of one punch than Rahman did with that right hand he landed on Lewis in their first fight.
Tyson still gave it his all against LL in 2002 when they fought, Tyson went to the ring scared, he knew he was fighting a guy who was in a much better place than him (lewis) and was just bigger and stronger, Tyson had no desire left. and he KNEW he had no chance against LL at that time. However i dont think he would have had that same mentality against Rahman, If Rahman fought that tyson for the titles during that period, Tyson would have been up for it like a mother. In his eyes it would have been a much easier fight for him than Lewis. The Williams fight was 2 years after the LL fight, LL knocked out any desire Tyson had left.
