    The bet way to fight Tyson in his prime would be:1 have a good chin 2. Stay in front of him don't run (see rule 1), 3. Jab and stright punch combos 1,2,1,2,
    4. Grab and smother Tyson so he can't get off as easy as he would like.
    5. hope these tactics ware him out in the late rounds.
    I think Lewis could do the above.
    A fight between Lewis and Tyson in their primes would be very interesting and it could end in difrent ways.
    1. Tyson early round knockout. Even with the tactics above if Tyson gets an openig the fight could end very quickly Lewis dose have a quistionable chin.
    2. Tyson by decision in an ugly fight. While Tyson may run out of gas or get frustrated like many says he was not stoped in his prime and while holding is needed to last for a long time in the ring with Tyson, but it will not impress the judges.
    3. Lewis by late round ko. The plan works Lewis lands enough in the early and mid rounds to weeken Tyson and in the 9th starts to find more openings and scores the stopage in the 11th or 12th.

    So you don't think taking a beating through 7-and-a-half rounds before finally landing a desperation uppercut constitutes "trouble"? :huh


    Why is it his "worst" fight? Just because he didn't win?


    Except that Tyson lost to or struggled with fighters that have been blasted out by others.
