Thread: Lewis vs Tyson

Both at their absolute best .... Who wins?

tyson smokes lewis in their primes how he smoked---with some difficulty---razor ruddock

Lewis by KO

Lewis. They actually did fight I heard. Lewis spanked him. Powers the last thing to go they say.

Lewis all day long....Lewis was all wrong for Tyson...tall...strong...and too clever

Lewis would have smashed the Tyson legend inside the distance

job biscuit (I still miss Tyson though)!!!

eh eh!!!

Lewis. Lewis. Lewis.Lewis. It's like an uncontrollable urge to keep using his name, Tyson tourettes.

This is so hard to answer! Prime Lewis, may well have been against Tua and he complete nullified everything he had. However, my thought has always been that Tyson would win. I guess it depends on whether Tyson really was a good as I thought he was or if he just never faced anybody that was a real threat

Had zombie Tyson connected with that left hook in the first round of their actual fight this wouldn't even be a question

but he didnt, so it is.

If Carlsberg made commentators they would be Japanese

Lewis taking 8 rounds to KO the ghost of Iron Mike lol

It speaks more for how overrated Lewis is and how much heart Mike had to take that kind of beating

Tyson said after their fight, he felt he would never of beaten Lewis, I tend to agree with him.

Of course on the proviso Tyson steps in the ring with Lennox, and not Lewis' alter ego 'Lummox'...

Tyson could still have KOed Lewis at any point in that fight, ghost or not, he still had his power and therefore Lennox's methodical beat down was the right approach, rather than going Gung Ho. If he had've done that he may've won inside 2 or3, but conversely he could've bean knocked out in 2 or 3. So what would you have done?

Steward was shitting himself at Lewis's reluctance to try and finish Mike, he was worried Mike would catch that chin.

If McCall and Rahman can find that chin, the Tyson that beat Holmes would have no problem. Just look at the problems and even older Holmes after and even longer retirement gave prime Holyfield, McCall and Mercer That Tyson was special.

Also, dont bring up the fact they fought as proof otherwise, Mike always beat Holmes like was nothing, Berbick and Holmes always beat Ali and Louis never stood a chance against Marciano...
