Who do you rate higher: Lewis or Tyson?

Lewis

I don't have all day to write why - but it isn't even close. Lewis is top 5, Tyson barely top 15.

 

This is a difficult question. The way Tyson attracted people to boxing with his exciting style is something Lewis has never done. He has brought a lot of new fans into the sport. Lewis has had a more impressive reign as champion no doubt.

 

In terms of accomplishment LL, in terms of entertainment value Tyson.

 

Lewis, didn't have to think about it.

 

Lewis, easy.

 

I think there's no question that Lewis ranks higher.

Tyson was a phenomenon when he was on top, and there probably won't be many like him. Unfortunately after the Douglas loss it was all downhill from there.. his reign was too short and the legacy he left behind was a fraction of what could have been.. unfortunate!

 

Lewis hands down

 

lewis achieved more

but tyson is tyson

he was an imortal icon for like 6 years....

lewis was just a boxer

 

Lewis was by far the more superior boxer and greater champion for me.

Lennox must be in the top 5 ATGs as far as I'm concerned.

Tyson will forever be the most exciting fighter to step into the ring though. The way he totally demolished the best heavyweights of the eighties was an incredible spectacle.:bbb

 

Lewis had the better career no doubt. Tyson had a great short run and is a "what if" case. I love Tyson though

 

Lewis, no contest.

Resume. Record. Longevity.

 

Lennox.

the h2h win isnt a huge factor imo cause tyson was shot to bits but lewis was very consistent against top opposition. he also showed improvements as he moved into his later 30s which is really rare.

his announcer skills only add to his legacy :!:

 

lasting effect : tyson
legacy : tyson

:think

 

Lennox Lewis.

Lewis beat Tyson, has a much better resume, achieved more and was a better boxer.
