    Agreed. I have Lewis over Tyson at their best. His sheer size and ability to spoil would be very handy against Tyson.

    Why. Tyson got paid. Never was more than a 6 round fighter. Lewis would have beat Tyson all day long, anytime.

    Tyson won the first round easily (including Lewis' coward and total illegitimate holding tactic) by this
    opinion it was a big shame proved Lewis limited skill.( He couldn't beat a extremely shot Tyson in 100% pure boxing.I think the Lewis lickers don't care this.)

    Your insulting descriptions show me you have zero objectivity so i will leave it at that.

    More or less how the fight would've been in their respective primes. Lewis may get him out of their a round or 2 earlier though.

    Yes.

    Tyson though came in awful shape,so heavy and with that inactivity.not having tommy brooks tho was the killer.im not saying this old tyson woukd have won...hell no way....but i do think he would have been far more competitive for 5-6 before a 10th round kayo loss

    I've always disagreed with that line of thinking. On the score cards Tyson may have won the round but strategically he lost.
    It was Tyson, not Lewis who was hurt in that round as Lewis threw about 3 uppercuts all of which landed and all of which hurt Tyson. You're watch this through rose colored glasses if you think anything other than that occurred. And yes, the rough housing was done on purpose to sent Tyson a message that he was the smaller, weaker fighter. Lewis was a master at using his size to his advantage and this was on full display against an over the hill Tyson.

    Truest analysis of Tysons career ever! 6 rounder for sure.

    Tyson's (potential) ability to knock Lewis cold at any time might come in handy as well.

    For sure, he's dangerous to anyone ever. I personally don't think he's going to knock Lewis over suddenly tho. He didn't get to where he is by getting knocked over every time he took a big punch.

    Lewis wouldve been annihilated had he stepped in the ring with a prime Iron Mike Tyson circa 86 to 88

    No version of Lewis would have made it past the first round

    Lewis cannot even handle McCall or Rahmans power

    Iron Mike Tyson would have broken his jaw, spirit, and will in one round
