    As I said before in a post, Tyson has the overall skill level locked up, faster hands, better chin, more defensively sound, better foot movement, better combination puncher, better killer instinct, and better stamina as well. Lewis and Tyson had comparable power, Lewis did have an advantage when it came to reach, and overall strength, to me thats not enough to beat a prime Tyson, not by a long shot.

    The only fighter I would favor over prime Tyson H2H is Ali, he would of frustrated Tyson like no other, he is someone thats a styles nightmare for Tyson, not Lewis.

    For Gatti's sake, I'm glad this fight never happened.

    Tszyu would have absolutely brutalized Gatti with his accurate straight right hand.

    Sorry but I'm a brit and I wouldn't give Lewis a chance against Tyson prime v prime. Lewis was a decent fighter but grossly overated on this board.

    I've read soooo many posts on here saying that he's the greatest heavweight that ever lived - Its a total joke

    Morales vs Hamed. Morales would have ko'd that clown. Best fight that never happened was Bowe vs Lewis.

    Easily Michalczewski vs Jones.

    Fight could have happened anytime from 1996 to 2000, and been the toughest of Roy Jones' career (Glen Johnson exempted, for obvious reasons).

    Also, Lewis vs Bowe deserves a mention.
