Hate to say it but 88-89 Tyson KOs any version of Lennox Lewis IMO
sure would be a great match-up. But I say Tyson. Too much power and great defensive skill.
I would have loved to see prime tyson vs prime Ali.
lewis beats tyson. tyson had trouble with tony tucker +razor ruddock and was beaten by douglas who wasnt the greatest either i say tyson has hes moments but lewis kos tyson round about 8 or 9 rounds lewis would use hes 6 inches height advantage and much longer reach to keep tyson at bay
Im With Von I WOuld Also Love To See Prime Tyson Vs Prime Ali Ive Always Wanted To See This Cuz When I think Of Boxing or Anyone Says Anything About Boxing Its Usually Ali Or Tyson Me Myself Like Ali Better But it Would Be Ausome To Watch But No They Had to Get Old :'(
that would b sick----ali wins by ud---he would play around with tysons head, and would be able to take anything tyson could dish out--he survived--liston and foreman--plus and old ali could take shavers punches--so awsome tough fight--but ali would win.......not easilyQuote:

Some guys just have the elements in their game to beat another guy any day of the week
Lewis beats Tyson in primes, in space, on the moon, whether it's sunny or rainy...Lennox Lewis wins!
ESPN just had the Tyson-Douglas fight on - again - last week or so, and I watched this time to compare Douglas and Lewis.
I thought that even though Douglas could be proud of his resiliance and ability to catch Tyson often - what I was looking for in him (someone who was fighting with Lewis' skill and grace) just wasn't there.
He done good but of course folks will be quick to remind us of the Japanese ladies and the partying on Tyson's part.
Obviously a prime and prepared Tyson has excellent chances against absolutely anybody. He had great defense, was not just the swarm-puncher 1st round ko (hey that sounds familiar) artist which he also certainly was.
A wide-awake, mentally and physically prepared Lewis, barring a "lucky" (hard to call it lucky considering it's Tyson but I'll let it ride) punch - Lewis navigates through the first four rounds, then begins to dictate and wears him out, KO late or comfortable UD.
It is the 6th round. The date is March 23, 1990. Lewis is confident he's made it this far. He's starting to establish the jab...tyson looks like he's winded, but in reality he's simple resting until he's final flurry. It happens. Oh my god. Tyson stuns lewis with an uppercut and continues a 5 punch combo knocking lennox back into the ropes. Lewis is out on his feet. Tyson just hit lewis with an uppercut as lewis is about to fall. The punch has pushed lewis's nose bone into his cerebral cortex. Lewis falls lump onto the canvas. Blood is coming out of his eyes. TV cameras cut.
RIP Lennox.
Is this the dream Tyson has while lying unconcsious in the back of an ambulance from the arena to the ER after Lennox KOs him in the 9th?Quote:

Nope. It was the dream Tyson had the night before he fought Lewis. He was too knocked out to have any dreams in the ambulance ;)Quote:

And I think that Tyson only hit about 75% of what he could have been and that was at the age of 19.
