Tyson vs Lewis (primes)

Lewis was better then tyson the fight would of looked a lot like the actual fight did, Lewis wasn't a scrub who was intimidated by tyson before they even got in the ring like most of his opponents he would of ground him down and stopped him in the latter rounds.

 

atsch It took him 8 rounds to beat a SHOT Tyson.

 

The Lewis that fought Tyson was prime??
That's news to me.....

 

Ruddock gave Tyson a good fight...twice (broken jaw early on - Ruddock and perforated ear drum - Tyson)

Douglas...took the fight to Tyson and won decisively.

A young-ish Lewis beat up Ruddock (who apparently said that neither he nor Tyson were the same after the wars they had)

Tyson stands a very good chance of beating Lewis - but I'm leaning towards the Lewis.

 

Where could they go? Mentioning Rahman and McCall? Lewis avenged both losses, when did Tyson rematch Douglas? :deal

 

no but he wasn't nearly as past it as Tyson.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

Dude, he would be the least qualified, due to bias.

Fighters who have experience of both guys they are talking about talk some horrendous ****. Their BS is well-known.

 

Lewis is a great fighter, but Tyson might be the second or third best HW of all times. Lennox's calm, measured approach gets him knocked the **** out against the fury and all out attack of an 85 or 86 Tyson. He just doesn't have the reflexes and hand and foot speed it would take to hold off vintage Iron Mike. He might be able to hug his way into hearing the final bell.

 

yeah... the guy who's faced both of them in a boxing ring is the least qualified person in the world to talk about how they would do against each other in a boxing ring LOL!

 

Anyone who knows Tyson's career well knows his training habits started declining in 1986. After that he was pretty much beating people on raw speed, power and intimidation.

 

Actually it was 89 when his decline started because that was the last time Rooney trained him.

 

Prime Tyson can slip any boxers Jab

Lewis's main technique was to throw the Jab. So Tyson by KO.

Holyfield beat Tyson by Brawling so did Douglus, If Lewis brawled with Tyson, still Tyson KO.

 

lewis with a ko..after jabbing his face to a pulp for 7/8 rounds :yep

 

Not true Tyrell Biggs had a even better jab with better foot movement,Pinklon Thomas had a devastating left right as well,Lewis would have gotten steam rolled just like them.

 

I know people love to say, "The way to beat Tyson is to stand up to him." but the fact is many of the guys that beat Tyson had to use a good deal of dirty tactics, most notably the use of clinching. Lewis obviously did that to Tyson.

The fact is the version of Tyson that Lewis beat was just a shell, he could barely put two punches together. The speed of foot and hand, and his combination punching just wasn't there. Prime for Prime I see Tyson finishing off Lewis inside of 5 rounds.
